This massively scaled trophy SOHO/NOLITA penthouse with multiple terraces is located in arguably the most desired full service 24-hour doorman condominium loft building steeped in history, and rich in provenance. Over 5,350 sf of interior space with 20 over-sized windows and 12 sets of French Doors leading directly out to two large, separate terraces, this magnificent loft delivers voluminous space of the rarest kind with 11 foot ceilings throughout and roughly 120 feet of West-facing frontage onto Lafayette Street. This entire private floor offers the ultimate Manhattan luxury: space! 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 impressively scaled, perfectly positioned terraces, (one facing west and the other facing south and East) offer a Downtown lifestyle of collector quality.

The elevator opens up into a private foyer. From there you are drawn into a large living/dining room - centered with a gas-burning fireplace - that abuts the chef’s kitchen designed to entertain on a grand scale, while retaining more intimate moments for day-to-day living. It features top of the line appliances, including a double Wolf oven, an 8-burner Wolf stove top and a huge 146 bottle, sub-zero wine refrigerator.

The kitchen also offers access to one of the large terraces. The lavishly scaled primary suite offers 2 walk-in closets, one of them an oversized, custom built dressing room with around 400sq.ft. of space. A smaller bedroom/study and bathroom adjoin.

The windowed bathroom is beautifully appointed with exquisite high end finishes and a freestanding soaking tub. At the opposite end of the apartment is a sun-filled great room/family room with the second fireplace that leads onto the wrap terrace and three additional bedrooms. There are two powder rooms and a large laundry room too.

This penthouse is customized with speakers built into every room driven by Sonos. Originally built in the late 1800s as the Hawley & Hoops chocolate factory, 285 Lafayette Street has been converted to a full-service luxury loft condominium at the intersection of Soho and Nolita. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman/concierge (in the recently completed, fully renovated lobby), and one of the most beautiful landscaped rooftop terraces in downtown New York. For those seeking discretion, this building offers a private entry from Mulberry Street.
