44 Laight Street #2A

Shedding its former life as a pipe fitting factory, the coveted Grabler Building has been thoughtfully preserved and revitalized as an intimate condominium of only 18 residences with 2A offering a haven of grand proportions where the elegance of heritage seamlessly embraces the essentials of contemporary living. Key locked elevator access unveils an impeccably well appointed, massive ~ 4,012SF 3 bed, 3 bath loft with its historical authenticity intact. A discreet paneled foyer flows into a Great Room spanning a dramatic 56’ easily accommodating open concept entertaining, dining and culinary pursuits. Exhibiting stunning bleached wood paneling resplendent with decorative bow tie accents and 8’ arched windows filtering in beautiful southern light and framing memorable Downtown views (including WTC) that work well for both entertaining and more private moments. Also on display are an array of architectural elements hinting at its industrial past: exposed brick, copper piping, wood beams, cast iron columns and imposing ceiling heights of just over 10.5’.

Recessed and spot LED lighting rise overhead while gorgeous wood floors pave the space underfoot with inset fixtures lighting a path to a gallery perfect for an art lover’s prized collection.

The serene primary suite parallels the grandeur witnessed throughout the loft.
