Without question this is one of downtown's most distinctive loft apartments.  This airy, sun drenched 922 sq foot corner home offers sun-drenched southern and eastern exposures.  The expansive living/ dining area has two sets of French doors that can be opened to your serene double Juliet balconies.  Free standing within the loft is a well-organized champagne colored lacquered 'pod'.  When opened this unique European pod contains a top-of-the-line kitchen with a Subzero refrigerator, Fisher Paykel dishwasher and Miele convection oven.  The oversized master bathroom offers a double vanity, distinguished multi-colored glass mosaic tile, and a large walk-in shower with external doors that can be opened to allow natural light while bathing. The bedroom boasts nice eastern light and is large enough to fit a king size bed with two walls of closets. The modern elements play superbly well with the prewar touches such as 11 foot beamed ceilings, original columns and oversized windows.  Rounding out this extraordinary loft are pristine white ash wood floors, thermal pane windows, central air conditioning, customized lighting sconces, ample closet space and a Miele washer/dryer combo unit.  On roof of the full service condo you will find a two tiered Mediterranean style sun-deck with panoramic sweeping city views, landscaping, cabanas and a relaxing reflecting pool. Also included is a fitness club and spa with a sauna and The Lapis-Lounge, a customized entertainment space. All this in one of Manhattan's hippest downtown neighborhoods, mere steps form Union Sq Park, Madison Sq Park, restaurants, cafes and shopping as well as seven subway lines.  This home is priced to sell, call for an appointment today!
