451 Washington Street #2B

Situated in the center of the TriBeCa Historical Landmark District and built in 1891, the Fleming Smith Warehouse building is a striking example of grand, Flemish architecture.  Its building’s architect, Stephen Decatur Hatch, also designed some of New York’s celebrated buildings, including the glamorous Princeton Club (1891) and the original New York Life Insurance Company Building (1895).  The Fleming Smith Warehouse is the first TriBeCa building to be converted into iconic residential loft apartments.

Unit 2B is the first apartment in the building to become available in 20 years. This sun-soaked loft feels like a semi-private house with a shared entrance and is ready to be moved into, or transformed into the latest TriBeCa masterpiece. This corner loft is one flight up and has access to a semi-automatic freight elevator. The space features soaring 11’6" ceilings and exquisite northwest exposures with sunsets and partial water views.  

Oversized, seven foot windows on two exposures set the tone for any new designs and original pine floors add warmth, or can be freshly stained in any tone to bring depth and contrast to the space. The living room presents three westerly windows and can easily be opened up to create a wide open floor plan that incorporates the chef’s kitchen and spacious dining area into a glamorous entertainment space.  A corner primary bedroom includes a unique home office area that can also function as a walk-in closet.

There are two additional bedrooms, with the northwest-facing corner bedroom ideal for use as a library or media room. The unit includes one full bath, a powder room, and a laundry room, with the potential to expand to a second full bath. Take as is or bring your architect!
