Description

Back on the market $10,600,000

Supremely located in the infinitely thriving, always bustling and forever fashionable SoHo, 285 Lafayette is the epitome of authentic Downtown New York chic, effortless and eternally modern luxury living. Originally built in the 19th Century housing a famed chocolate factory, 285 Lafayette was reborn into a luxury full service Condominium in 1999 by world-renowned architect Costas Kondylis. The ingenious combination of sublime pre-war architecture with timeless interiors paired with Concierge level service, 285 was an instant star and became the immensely sought- after residential project and home to an array of distinguished clientele from day one to the present.

Comprised of a mere ten floors and twenty-one residences located at the epicenter of Lafayette and Prince Streets, 285 is exceptionally intimate and ultra private in the heart of one of Manhattan’s most engaging neighborhoods --an ever-lasting darling of SoHo.

Welcome to Residence Two B --- your keyed elevator opens into this expansive and elegant family sized 4060 square foot home comprised of fully equipped chef’s kitchen, four grand bedrooms plus library, three bathrooms, one powder room and private laundry room with additional catering refrigerator. The original Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors have been redesigned by famed designer with a custom stunning finish throughout. The Western wall spans over 70 linear feet with a wall of 10-foot windows, massive and new offering gorgeous light throughout the day.

The loft with an enormous living and dining area of 48 feet by nearly 35 feet with 12 foot ceiling heights, original impressive cast iron columns and beautiful exposed wooden beams lovingly preserved, exudes a genuine SoHo charm and personality while being perfectly pristine and oh-so-grown up.

The ideal chef’s kitchen overlooks the gracious and grand living space, perfect for both intimate and grand family gatherings -- fully equipped with stainless steel Viking appliances and extra large wine refrigerator complete with stunning custom hi-gloss lacquer white cabinetry and absolute black granite countertops.

The master bedroom is a serene, glamorous and sexy suite facing North with a proper and posh seating area and an exquisite re-mastered master bathroom featuring a dramatic floating Waterworks bath tub, double sink and vanity with separate stall shower and two walls of custom closets.

The large second bedroom has en-suite bathroom and walk in closet. The corner third bedroom has North and West exposures while fourth bedroom faces West, all rooms offer grand and impressive proportions.
