39 Worth St #2E New York City, NY 10013

39 Worth Street, #2E is a spectacular Tribeca loft where extraordinary scale, original architectural character and modern flexibility come together. Spanning approximately 2,300 square feet, this remarkable loft has not been on the market for over forty years and is defined by its dramatic proportions and authentic downtown character. Soaring 13'6" ceilings, original hardwood floors, brick walls and beautifully preserved original pressed-tin ceilings create an extraordinary sense of volume, while windows measuring more than 10 feet in height flood the space with natural light. A keyed elevator opens directly into the loft, providing a level of privacy and convenience rarely found in a historic loft building. The expansive layout currently accommodates two sleeping areas plus a sleeping loft, offering tremendous flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. Two exceptionally large walk-in closets provide abundant storage, while a spacious windowed bathroom with washer/dryer adds everyday convenience. A particularly imaginative feature is the former elevator shaft, now transformed into a wonderful private home office-a perfect example of the creative possibilities inherent in this extraordinary space. The apartment's combination of enormous scale, soaring ceilings, oversized windows and original details makes it an exceptional example of classic Tribeca loft living. An Important Piece of Tribeca History 39 Worth Street is a landmarked cast-iron building completed in 1866 and designed by architect Isaac F. Duckworth for James Smith, a prominent manufacturer of fire engines. The building reflects Tribeca's origins as one of New York's great commercial and textile districts. Over the decades, its tenants included textile merchants, a rug importer and other businesses associated with the neighborhood's wholesale trade. In the 1930s, Scher Textiles established itself in the building, and the property remained connected to the textile industry into the early 1970s. The building was converted to a residential cooperative in 1981 and was designated a New York City landmark in 2013 along with its neighboring 41 Worth Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission recognized the buildings as particularly fine surviving examples of the development of cast-iron architecture in New York. The facade features handsome period detailing including a deep ornamental cornice, bracketed elements and distinctive rope-molded window surrounds. Today, the intimate cooperative offers keyed elevator access, a common roof garden, bicycle storage and a remarkably low-density residential environment. 39 Worth Street #2E is a truly special Tribeca loft-an expansive and highly adaptable home that combines the drama of a grand downtown loft with the authenticity and history of one of the neighborhood's landmarked cast-iron buildings. There is an ongoing monthly special assessment of $661.59.
