Description
Stepping into the lavish foyer, you are immediately drawn to the extraordinary great room, setting the stage for the sheer...The most spectacular loft in all of TriBeCa. Welcome to 140 Franklin Street, where historic charm meets contemporary luxury in this sprawling 6,300-square-foot residence, set within Tribeca's most revered landmark building. This majestic 7-bedroom home offers a single-level floor plan that is as grand as it is intimate, providing the ultimate in privacy, space, and refined living.
Stepping into the lavish foyer, you are immediately drawn to the extraordinary great room, setting the stage for the sheer magnificence that awaits. The main living area is a sight to behold—a vast 100-foot-long expanse with 12+ foot ceilings that soar, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by ornate original steel columns. Wide plank oak floors stretch across the room, while a wall of grand 10ft+ windows floods the space with natural light, offering sweeping views of Tribeca’s historic architecture. Sunlight streams in throughout the day, enhancing the warmth and elegance of this expansive space. This room, with its perfect balance of grandeur and warmth, offers multiple seating areas, each designed for relaxation and intimate gatherings.
A set of floor-to-ceiling casement doors leads to a luminous corner library, where custom-built bookshelves, desks, and cabinetry create a serene space for reading, working, or simply unwinding. Bathed in natural light, this bright and airy room offers an ideal environment for focus and relaxation. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, equipped with dual SubZero refrigerators, multiple freezer drawers, double Wolf ovens, and a 6-burner professional cooktop. The centerpiece of this culinary haven is a vast marble island, ideal for both meal prep and casual dining. A butler’s pantry, deep marble countertops, and a custom wet-bar with a temperature-controlled wine fridge further enhance the kitchen’s functionality and style.
Beyond the public spaces, a series of corridors lead to the private quarters, offering a clear delineation between entertainment and relaxation. The primary bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a generous sitting area illuminated by ample natural light, two expansive dressing rooms, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with hand-cut mosaic tiles, underfloor heating, a double vanity, an oversized steam shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. This wing of the home also includes four additional bedrooms, each with custom wardrobes and access to two elegantly renovated bathrooms. A separate lounge area provides additional living space.
At the opposite end of the residence, a private hallway leads to two more bedrooms, perfect for guests or staff, and a beautifully appointed bathroom with Bisazza tiles. Every detail of this home has been carefully considered, from the multi-zoned central air-conditioning and custom Lutron lighting to the motorized shades and advanced A/V system with in-ceiling speakers. A stylish powder room for guests, a large laundry room, and two basement storage units configured for wine storage add to the convenience and luxury of this unparalleled home.
Built in 1887 by the acclaimed architect Albert Wagner, 140 Franklin Street is a masterpiece of Romanesque Revival architecture. This exclusive boutique condominium offers a 24-hour doorman, porter, full-time superintendent, and a striking lobby featuring a mural by the renowned artist Sol Lewitt. Situated in the heart of Tribeca, this residence places you at the epicenter of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhood, with world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions just steps away.
