Description

Welcome to Penthouse 31A at Liberty Tower, one of Manhattan’s first skyscrapers with a storied history! Unit PH31A occupies the entire floor of the building and is one short flight up from the 30th floor elevator landing. Its new resident will experience four exposures with panoramic views of the city including the historic Financial District skyline and the Hudson and East Rivers.

This unit enjoys the unique status of being the former attic of the building which comes with special architectural details such as the sloped and vaulted ceilings as well as exposed beams and pipes. Spanning over 3,000 sq ft on the main level and over 600 on the mezzanine, this home features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, separate dining and living areas, a dedicated laundry room, as well as two home office/flex rooms on an additional mezzanine level. The separate windowed chef’s kitchen has a Viking stove and Subzero refrigerator and the home has central A/C.

Closets and storage spaces abound throughout this home. Liberty Tower at 55 Liberty Street was built in 1909 as a commercial office building with high-profile tenants such as president FDR until its conversion in 1979 to a residential cooperative building. At the time of its construction it was believed to be the world’s slimmest skyscraper, built in a Gothic Revival style with limestone and white terracotta faade that includes carvings of gargoyles, lions, falcons, and other guardians.

Now a landmarked building, Liberty Tower is a full-service cooperative with 24-hour doormen, porters, and live-in resident manager. It allows pied-a-terres and subletting with board approval. Its enviable location in the heart of the Financial District of Manhattan is in close proximity to all major subway lines, the Oculus and Brookfield Place shopping centers, Whole Foods, and the South Street Seaport.
