152 Reade St, # Townhouse, New York, NY 10013

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME. We've heard it said many times before. Houses are built, and homes are crafted. It takes vision, will, passion, and spirit to craft a home. A home is not just made to contain walls, lighting, furniture, and furnishings. It's made to hold memories. 152 Reade Street is first and foremost a home. It is a 25-foot-wide residence set discreetly on one of Tribeca's most coveted streets; one of a row of houses originally built by architect John L. Petrarca and reimagined by Philip Koether. But unlike its neighbors, 152 was transformed by the current owners, from a developer-delivered house with deference to industrial Tribeca, into a warm, comfortable transitional home. The result is a serene, elegant haven that blends classic traditional elements with clean, simple lines of modern design: balanced, comfortable, sophisticated, and timeless. Each floor unfolds with beauty and purpose. Spaces are layered in light, height, and harmony. Sweeping panes of glass illuminate its living room, boasting double-height ceilings that soar to 24 feet. A forged-iron, filigree staircase with Italian marble steps connect all levels seamlessly, adding both modernity and refinement similarly found in a Parisian abode. Five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, four terraces, and a private elevator compose a symphony of comfort and discretion. The Bulthaup-designed professional breakfast kitchen, appointed with Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, and Bosch, is both atelier and hearth- an invitation to gather and celebrate. A rear staircase connects the room to a butler's pantry located above, which leads to the formal dining room opening onto a terrace. The primary suite is its own retreat, with arched windows, deep soaking bath, and dressing salon- quietly indulgent yet intimate. The secondary bedrooms are located on the next level. Above it, the penthouse level features an office/recreation room, which provides access to a two-tiered rooftop terrace. Truly captivating, the roof enjoys cinematic views of the Downtown skyline and Freedom Tower and is framed by a pergola, grill station, and an open-air hot tub. Additional amenities include a vaulted wine cellar, soundproof music room, and recreational media lounge complete with billiard's table, board game/card tables, and cozy sofas for ultimate comfort. *May be rented furnished or unfurnished.
