When it comes to the combination of charm and convenience, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is a true winner! Moreover, it offers a very special bonus: a long entrance foyer, phenomenal space for hanging art. (If you're not already a collector, you soon will be.) The apartment has 11 foot ceilings, oak hardwood floors, storage throughout and a washer/dryer. Perfect for entertaining, the sun-drenched living room faces south over rooftop gardens and 139 Reade Street's beautiful brick facade and cornice. The large open kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, abundant counter space and surely would be the envy of any chef. The bright primary bedroom is a true oasis offering an en-suite bathroom, a huge walk-in closet and a wall of south facing windows. Both secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned.

Caveat Emptor: the loft currently is empty. Fortunately the former tenants allowed us to take pictures of the premises when the space was fully lived in. We're posting these photos to let you see what was and what the space can be--of course with your own furnishings.

Built in 1901, The Duane Park Building offers a full-time lobby attendant and superintendent along with bike storage. With only 3 apartments per floor, the building has an extremely intimate feel-and a newly redone roof terrace for residents use. Located in the heart of historic Tribeca, 166 Duane Street is close to parks, restaurants, boutique shops and transportation (the 1, 2 & 3 station is one block away).
