129 Lafayette Street   Unit 3C

This elegant two-three bedroom, two-bathroom loft home offers pristine living spaces, abundant light and private outdoor space in historic Little Italy.

The meticulous attention to detail is evident the moment you enter the 2,017-square-foot condominium home. Gleaming hardwood floors pave the space, while ultra-tall 12-foot beamed ceilings are highlighted by handsome track lighting and ample sunlight thanks to a row of west-facing windows. Living and dining areas are spacious and inviting, and the chic Valcucine open kitchen invites with a massive granite island and world-class appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Bosch dishwasher, Thermador double-wall oven, and a six-burner Viking range with vented hood.

The desirable split-bedroom layout places bedrooms at opposite corners of the home. In the serene master suite, rows of convenient built-ins sit under a full-width window, and the relaxing en suite terrazzo tile bathroom includes a walk-in glass shower, separate Kohler soaking tub for two and dual-sink vanity. The second bedroom offers two sunny, east-facing windows and a large closet, and the nearby library/home office, outfitted with more built-ins and access to the private balcony, could easily function as a third bedroom. Another well-appointed full bathroom and full-size washer and vented gas dryer complete this sumptuous home's fantastic layout.

Built in 1911, 129 Lafayette is a lovely limestone building converted to loft residences in 2005. Combining old world bones with modern amenities, residents of the pet-friendly elevator building enjoy 24-hour doorman service and a stunning roof garden. Set at the corner of Lafayette and Howard streets, this gorgeous building is surrounded by the excitement of Little Italy, SoHo, Tribeca and the Bowery. Buzzy hot spots Balthazar and Georgetown Cupcake sit alongside neighborhood favorites Jack's Wife Freda and Landmark Diner, and SoHo's premiere Broadway shopping district - featuring Bloomingdale's, TopShop and more - is mere steps away. Spend your summer frequenting the best hotel restaurants and rooftop bars at 11 Howard, The James Hotel, SoHo Grand and NoMo Soho. Nearly every subway line is nearby - including the N/Q/R/W, A/C/E and B/D- putting the rest of the city within a moment's reach.
