Description

Welcome to the iconic 285 Lafayette Street Condo; 3E, an extraordinary three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence epitomizes luxurious urban living. Meticulously renovated to the highest standards, the 3,175 square foot home seamlessly blends contemporary sophistication with the timeless charm of its 19th-century prewar architecture.

Original preserved posts and beams coalesce with gorgeous six-inch wide reclaimed oak flooring under 10.5-foot ceilings, creating a space of unparalleled elegance and refinement.

Architect Fred Lambiase; Designer William Knight.

Enter the apartment through double-wide custom steel doors. The wide foyer is accentuated with elegant lighting fixtures. The expansive great room is bathed in natural light from two walls of windows offering tranquil views east over Mulberry Street.

The living area beckons for both relaxation and entertainment.

A double-sided wood and brass custom cabinet cleverly divides the dining and living areas, the latter boasting a corner position flooded with light from eight large windows adorned with Roman shades. The flexible living space offers a serene retreat with open sky and distance views towards the east.

Adjacent to the living room, the chef's kitchen spans a stunning 11 x 30 feet and features professional-grade appliances, including a sumptuous Lacanche six-burner French stove. Concrete custom counters are throughout the apartment.

A Sub-zero refrigerator and an abundance of storage cabinets, as well as a table-height counter extension offers seating for four chairs, and completes the kitchen's functionality and style.

A 24' long hallway includes a fitted coat closet, a powder room in the entry hall, and a separate laundry room with Miele washer and dryer, cabinets, shelving, storage drawers. At the end of the hall is a storage area behind a sliding door, and the bedroom wing. Three generously sized en-suite bedrooms, each with limestone bathrooms featuring large glass shower stalls offer unparalleled comfort and privacy.

The expansive primary suite, exudes tranquility and privacy, and is completed with a fitted walk-in closet with built in lighting.

A luxurious five-piece limestone primary bathroom has a standalone tub from Cheviot Iris, double sinks and magnificent lighting fixtures.

Throughout the apartment, custom-made brass hardware adds a consistent touch of opulence, while four zones of central air conditioning ensure comfort year-round. Residents also enjoy access to the building's professionally landscaped rooftop garden, newly renovated lobby, and 24-hour concierge service, creating an unparalleled urban oasis.

A secondary entrance on Mulberry Street, is key fobbed and communicates with the front desk, offering privacy and convenience to building residents.

This magnificent residence represents the epitome of downtown luxury living and must be experienced firsthand.
