Tucked away on Laight Street, a quaint cobblestone block in North Tribeca, a handsome circa 1896 building designed in the Renaissance Revival style hints of its historic past with the imprint of The Grabler Company emblazoned in white on its brown brick and cast iron facade. Shedding its former life as a pipe fitting factory, the coveted Grabler Building has been thoughtfully conserved and revitalized as an intimate loft condominium of only 18 residences with 2A offering a haven of grand proportions where the elegance of heritage seamlessly embraces the essentials of contemporary living.

A key locked elevator provides direct access and unveils an impeccably well appointed, massive (~ 4,012SF) 3 bedroom, 3 bath loft with its historical authenticity intact. Upon arrival you are welcomed by a discreet foyer lavishly paneled in bleached wood which flows into a Great Room showcasing an impressive volume of space spanning a dramatic 56' easily accommodating open concept entertaining, dining and culinary pursuits. The Great Room exhibits stunning bleached wood paneling resplendent with decorative bow tie accents. Its 8' arched windows filter in beautiful light from a southern orientation and frame views of Downtown plus a peek at the World Trade Center working equally well for entertaining and more private moments spent decompressing. Also on display are an array of genuine elements inherent to its industrial past that were intentionally preserved: exposed brick and copper piping, robust wood beams, cast iron columns, oversized windows, imposing ceiling heights of just over 10.5' and other architectural details reminiscent of a bygone era.

While honoring its rich character, modern functionality has been introduced and contributes to a refuge that feels both timeless and infinitely comfortable. The chef's kitchen is flawlessly designed and furnished with high end stainless steel appliances like a fully vented 6 burner Viking range with grill, convection oven, microwave and wine cooler, Miele dishwasher, Sub Zero refrigerator, 2 sinks and a rare pot filler. The contemporary cabinetry is adorned with large slab marble countertops and backsplashes while a generous island affords more intimate casual dining should one wish to forgo gathering in the enormous formal dining area.

Off the Great Room, retractable frosted doors reveal a capacious den/media room replete with custom millwork equally suitable as a secondary bedroom or for working remotely with access to a plush full bath just down the hall that can also service guests. Recessed and spot LED lighting rise overhead while gorgeous wood floors pave the space underfoot with inset fixtures lighting a path to a gallery perfect for an art lover's prized collection.

The serene primary suite parallels the grandeur witnessed throughout the loft. Unwind in a lavish sanctuary sizable enough for a myriad of bedroom furnishings, including a king sized bed with matching nightstands, plus bonus space for a sitting nook and a mammoth, fully equipped closet. A sumptuous spa quality bath wrapped in marble features an oversized shower, dual sinks, relaxing soaking tub and the luxury of radiant heated flooring. A spacious third bedroom promotes the loft's vintage with its original brick and arched windows and accommodates a reading niche, a meticulously outfitted closet with room still for an in-home study area. This pin-drop quiet bedroom shares a stylish full bath beautifully tiled, radiant-heated and designed for true relaxation with an interior space currently provisioned as guest quarters and work-from-home space where an eyebrow window invites natural light.

Among the home's enviable enhancements are a suburban-sized laundry room with vented LG washer/dryer and stainless steel sink, supplementary pantry/mudroom with extra refrigeration and plenty of storage, Lutron lighting, an audio system with in-ceiling speakers, artisan designed millwork throughout the loft augmenting alrea
