43 Walker St. 6

This enormous light-filled Tribeca duplex penthouse exhibits loft living at its finest: a spectacular combination of the most desirable loft space with the true feeling of a house in the city.

The keyed elevator opens onto a Venetian plastered entry and an expansive living room featuring a woodburning fireplace with a massive hand-hewn limestone surround, soaring ceilings and large mahogany-framed windows facing to the north with an Empire State Building view. Around the corner are an office/study and a powder room featuring leather-paneled tiled walls and glass mosaic tiled floors. The floors on the first level are wide-plank, ebony-stained American Cherry.

Central in the plan and designed for entertaining, the restaurant-quality kitchen includes a 48" Viking eight-burner stove, a 48" Viking double refrigerator, a Miele over-counter espresso station, twin Miele dishwashers, a sink with an Insta-Hot faucet, quartz-engineered granite countertops, an under-counter wine fridge and an ice maker. To the south, there is a banquet-sized dining area, a media room, three sunny bedrooms (each with en suite marble and limestone baths), a laundry room and a utility room.

Leading to the second level is a skylit, floating limestone staircase with an exquisitely designed, custom cast bronze sculpted railing topped by an ebony banister. To the north, the master bedroom suite (with a second woodburning fireplace) opens onto a large and lushly planted terrace. Both the terrace and the bedroom have views of the Empire State building.

Within the master suite, there are two separate dressing rooms and a large windowed limestone and marble bathroom with a two-person stall shower, a large soaking tub and double opposing sinks.

On the southern end there is a gym, a wet bar and a generous, inviting den which opens onto the larger planted terrace (complete with koi pond). Both terraces have built-in watering systems.
