THE APARTMENT featured in the movie, 'The International'

This four bedroom Financial District loft is exactly what you would see in TriBeCa, but without the price tag - come a few blocks south and see for yourself! Get out your sunglasses, this 2,600 square foot loft home gets direct sunlight dawn to dusk! At the main entrance hall, turn left to the living area and master suite or right towards the wing containing the apartment's three additional bedrooms. As you enter the expansive great room, you will notice the two walls of custom walnut bookshelves. The open eat-in chef's kitchen features stainless steel/concrete counter tops and professional grade appliances. The en-suite master bedroom has double closets, views to Brooklyn, and an extra-deep 6ft. long soaking tub. The three additional bedrooms take up the opposite corner of the apartment, and face south and west with views to the Hudson River. One of these rooms has an en-suite bath, while the other two share a very large bathroom with a huge window and double washbasins. The apartment features 19 new oversized windows granting east/west/southern exposures, steam heat/central air conditioning, full size washer and dryer, oak plank floors, 8ft. tall custom walnut doors, high ceilings, and impressive city and partial river views. This truly unique loft home is immediately available for a one year lease, option to renew with board approval.

THE ARCHITECT & THE BUILDING

Built in 1909, and designed by Henry Ives Cobb, Liberty Tower is one of the early romantic skyscrapers that changed the skyline of Manhattan. It is a 33 story Gothic Revival Skyscraper in the Financial District. Over the years its office tenants included the Sinclair Oil Company and a precursor of the accounting firm of Coopers Lybrand. Its ornate English Gothic design was copied on a larger scale, with variations, three years later by Cass Gilbert for the famous Woolworth Building facing City Hall Park. In 1980, the conversion of Liberty Tower introduced residential use to the Financial District. Joseph Pell Lombardi, as both architect and investor, designed the interiors, restored the historic elements, and converted the building to 89 residential units.
