Glass Condominium at 88 Laight St. 2

Located in the distinguished section of TriBeCa’s Historic District, nestled on a tree-lined, and only a few feet from cobblestone streets and the waterfront, is The Glass Condominium Building. In an area known for its iconic warehouses and converted factory buildings, lies this modern glass structure that elevates ones necessity for shelter, into an art form.

As the keyed elevator doors open to this south facing, floor-through, sun-filled, duplex, two bedroom, three bathroom apartment, this art form is brought to life.

The beautifully ornate double wrought iron doors with opaque glass welcomes you to this masterpiece called apartment #2. Heated, white Calacatta marble floors throughout lead you to a majestic great room with 16 foot ceilings and a 54 light crystal chandelier. This picturesque room is framed by a glass wall with motorized silk curtains and double glass doors which lead you to the 320+ square foot terrace, ready for lounging or dining, with views of the Hudson River.

The kitchen is stocked with Miele appliances featuring two separate refrigerators, a five burner gas range, dishwasher, microwave, oven, steam cooker and if that is not enough, an all in one built in coffee machine. A double honed 3-inch marble island complete with a wine refrigerator that seats four is terrific for entertaining along with the surround sound system that plays throughout. If you seek more formality, this home has a dining room fit for a king or queen, with silk damask wallpaper and white leather tufted walls. The cozy living room with a ventless fireplace, is large enough to also host a home office. And after your hard work in the office, retreat to the wood pergola covered jacuzzi outside on your backyard terrace.
