United States Sugar Building at 79 Laight St. 2F

Dramatic ceiling heights and historic charm abound in this sophisticated, thoughtfully designed, approximately 3,394 square feet 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom home in the heart of Tribeca. Step directly from the private key-locked elevator into the welcoming foyer, framed by clean lines and nearly 15-ft ceiling heights that guide your attention toward the palatial great room. The 33.4 × 18.3-ft double-height great room with exposed brick walls, wood burning fireplace, and beamed ceilings, is dramatically illuminated by corner exposures and two-stories of original arched windows.

Separate from the great room, the double-height gourmet kitchen, also with original arched windows and exposed brick walls, comes outfitted with an integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Miele dishwasher, a Wolf 5 top electric range and dual oven, an extra-wide stainless steel trough style sink, and honed Danby marble countertops. Subtly golden-toned, self-closing wooden cabinets provide tremendous storage space and there is a large walk-in pantry, thoughtfully built-out to accommodate a range of kitchen necessities.

Off the opposite side of the great room, the double-height master suite is outfitted with an enormous walk-in closet and a fully built-out 9 × 10.5-ft dressing room. The windowed master bathroom with double sinks, custom-tiled floor and walls, separate tub and rain shower, and a separate water closet, is a luxurious spa-like retreat. The stand-alone deep soaking tub includes a separate hand-held sprayer, as does the glass enclosed shower area, which is large enough for a bench, and finished with pristine white tiles and generously sized built-in niches for storage.

Two additional bedrooms, each on different levels in the home for maximum privacy, and each with adjoining bathrooms plus ample closet space, a 10.4 × 17.7-ft. mezzanine-style home-office, a separate, vented, laundry alcove, and a stylish powder room near the entrance complete this stunning residence.
