Located in a historic building that once housed one of the world’s first helicopter factories, this loft takes the luxury urban lifestyle to the next level. The 5,077-square-foot unit maintains many of its original rustic elements—such as exposed support beams and rich red brick walls—while emulating contemporary refinement and state-of-the-art quality with open sightlines, soaring ceilings, quadruple-hinged doors and wide-plank flooring.
The home’s sprawling primary living area encompasses several distinct niches, including a billiards space, a media room with a retractable projector screen and a cozy sitting area. Reclaimed wooden barn doors usher residents to the expansive formal dining room and nearby chef’s kitchen, which features an exposed brick wall with open shelving, a large marble center island with integrated seating, a commercial-grade Viking range, a hood vent, stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink.
The home’s grandiose exposed wood and metal staircase leads to an upper-level living area, a secondary suite, two additional bedrooms, a hall bathroom, laundry facilities and a luxurious primary suite—complete with a private sitting area with a linear fireplace, a marble bathroom with dual vanities and a free-standing tub and a dressing room with a built-in island.
The penthouse level features a marble wet bar with a built-in beverage fridge, a spacious fitness studio bookended by glass walls and a wraparound rooftop patio, complete with seating areas and stunning views. Additionally, a private automatic roll-up door unveils a secure carport with two parking spots. Daniel Heider, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, 202.938.3685, [email protected], danielheider.com
