Liberty Tower at 55 Liberty St. #25A

There is unique and special, and then there is the magnificence that is this approximately 1160 SF loft, truly triple-mint residence in the NYC landmark Liberty Tower! This completely gut-renovated two bedroom, two full bath has been reconfigured as a one bedroom with a convertible second bedroom (but is easily restored to its original two bedroom layout). This amazing apartment features high ceilings, eastern and northern exposures of the city skyline, Brazilian chestnut hardwood floors, and nine large double-paned insulated windows.

The gorgeous chef’s open kitchen features all high-end European appliances: a hideaway Liebherr 24" refrigerator and freezer, complete with ice maker, a Liebherr wine cooler, an incognito Bosch dishwasher, Gaggenau gas cooktop, Miele retractable stainless steel hood, Smeg oven and ceiling-flush custom cabinetry. The countertops are grey Turkish marble, and there is a built-in dining table combined stainless steel sink platform.

Both spectacular bathrooms are blessed with grey Turkish marble floors, as well as Italian tiling on the walls and Duravit Philipe Starck floating tankless model toilets. The windowed master bath has a view of the spectacular top of the 1914 Roman-style Manhattan Municipal Building with clear and unobstructed vistas of the glittering and magnificent Statue of Civic Pride. From the luxurious Phillip Starck deep soaking tub gaze out the enormous window at the Woolworth building and the brand new Four Seasons Hotel and Residences classically designed by Robert A.M. Stern of 15 Central Park West fame. In the cleverly designed second full bathroom luxuriate in the large zen-inspired, spa-like walk-in shower with rainfall shower head, grey Turkish marble bench, Hans Grohe fixtures and grooved limestone walls.

This FIOS-enabled home has recessed halogen lights, custom cabinets throughout, a clever built-in home office area, and sound-proofed insulated walls adjacent to only one other apartment on the floor.

The prestigious 55 Liberty Street is ranked the #1 Co-Op in the FiDi for its desirability, strong financial standing, flexible board, historical importance and limited availability. It is a Gothic Revival-style building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rich in history, it once housed the law offices of President Theodore Roosevelt and Standard Oil. One of the City’s first skyscrapers, this classic 1909 high-rise is built in a way that they don’t replicate these days. Standing strong and durable, it is acclaimed for its striking terra cotta facade with intricate sculptures of lions, eagles, flowers and gargoyles. It boasts a 24-hour doorman, porters, a live-in super, five elevators serving only 87 units that are divided by upper and lower floors. Pets are allowed, as well as washers/dryers and the board has made it possible for pied-a-terre usage. The monthly maintenance charge is 62% tax deductible, reducing the overall cost of living in this spectacular and rare find.

Just a two-minute walk to the new Fulton Street Transit Center, with access to the 4/5, 2/3, A/C, J/Z and R subway lines as well as the PATH train. Within a few blocks of this prime and central location you have Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, Hudson River Park, City Hall Park, Whole Foods, and all the bars and restaurants of Stone Street and Tribeca. There are 3 Equinox gyms, within walking distance. Opening soon will be the highly anticipated 5 Beekman Hotel which will host two new restaurants by famed chefs Tom Colicchio and Keith McNally. The newly renovated and recently opened Brookfield Place is virtually a stone’s throw away and is home to the world’s most sought after luxury brands and designer labels. If this isn’t enough, the flagship Century 21 store, where luxury and bargains collide, is around the corner. In a city where location is everything, virtually all NYC has to offer has arrived downtown at your doorstep.
