This rare and utterly charming corner penthouse loft is located atop a former 19th-Century soap warehouse and captures the true spirit and essence of historic TriBeCa! Bathed in natural light from 5 skylights and 9 oversized arched windows, this peaceful residence has been tastefully renovated using quality materials that compliment and respect the integrity of the original architecture. A gracious entrance foyer leads to a dramatic entertaining space with 12-foot ceilings, authentic hand-hewn beams and columns, gorgeous ebonized oak floors, and open views of the surrounding landmarked district from enormous double-glazed windows. A huge skylight crowns the dining room and showcases the original mechanical for the building's horse-drawn hoist, a subtle reminder of the loft's industrial past. Nearby, the sky-lit chef's kitchen is cleverly tucked away and features poured concrete countertops, English sycamore cabinetry, beautifully designed pull-out rolling shelves, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Bosch convection oven and a 5-burner Verona cooktop vented to the outside. Just beyond, a large separate pantry closet offers abundant storage and houses a side-by-side LG washer-dryer.

Nearby, a cozy windowed reading nook easily converts to a full 3rd bedroom. In addition, there are two private offices each with custom bookshelves and built-in file cabinets ensuring a clutter free work environment in which to think and create.
