About This Property
An Extraordinary Four-Bedroom Duplex in Historic Liberty Tower
A private elevator landing shared by just two residences welcomes you to this expansive four-bedroom, four-bathroom duplex at Liberty Tower. Spanning approx. 3,493+/- sqft across the fourth and fifth floors, this exceptional residence offers grand proportions, abundant natural light, and a versatile layout designed for both entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
Multiple deep entry closets provide generous storage, while a gracious foyer leads into an impressive gallery measuring approximately 17 by 27 feet. This expansive space creates a striking introduction to the home and offers an ideal setting for displaying an art collection, creating a personal library, or showcasing a wine collection.
Beyond the gallery, the approximately 26-ft-wide living room serves as the centerpiece of the home's expansive entertaining spaces, flowing seamlessly into a generous dining area and an inviting south-facing windowed lounge. Sixteen windows throughout these interconnected spaces welcome natural light from eastern, western, and southern exposures, creating bright, airy interiors. Distinctive architectural angles lend character and visual interest to the home's impressive proportions.
The generously sized kitchen, measuring approximately 17 by 12 ft, features a center island, extensive counter space for meal preparation, and premium appliances, including a Thermador oven and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Abundant cabinetry, including deep pantry storage, provides exceptional functionality. An adjacent office nook offers a convenient workspace tucked away from the principal living and entertaining areas.
The fourth floor also accommodates two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a den, and a separate home office. This flexible arrangement provides numerous possibilities for guest accommodations, dedicated workspaces, and private retreats. A spacious laundry room equipped with a washer, dryer, and built-in cabinetry adds everyday convenience and additional storage.
An interior staircase leads to the fifth floor, where the approximately 25-ft-wide primary bedroom offers an exceptionally spacious and private retreat. With ample room for both sleeping and sitting areas, the suite features custom built-ins and multiple closets. The spa-inspired, five-fixture primary bathroom is appointed with marble floors, a deep soaking tub, double vanity, and separate glass-enclosed shower.
A generously proportioned second bedroom on this level comfortably accommodates a dedicated home office or sitting area. An additional full bathroom completes the fifth floor, which also benefits from its own private entrance, providing flexibility and an added sense of independence.
Throughout the residence, extensive storage, generously scaled rooms, and thoughtfully separated living and bedroom areas offer remarkable versatility. Whether entertaining on a grand scale, working from home, or accommodating extended family and guests, this expansive duplex presents a rare opportunity to create a distinctive Downtown residence within one of the Financial District's most celebrated historic buildings.
Built in 1909 and converted to cooperative residences in 1980, Liberty Tower is a landmarked Gothic Revival masterpiece designed by renowned architect Henry Ives Cobb. Its distinctive architectural character and historic details have been carefully preserved, reflecting the building's enduring elegance and architectural significance.
Residents enjoy the convenience of 24-hour doormen, porters, and a live-in super. Ideally situated in the heart of the Financial District, Liberty Tower offers exceptional access to Downtown Manhattan's vibrant dining scene, world-class shopping, waterfront parks, and extensive transportation options. The neighborhood seamlessly blends historic architecture with contemporary urban living, placing the best of Lower Manhattan just moments from your doorstep.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
An individual landmark from 1911, 55 Liberty Street holds this duplex across the fourth and fifth floors, about 3,493 square feet in all. The angles in the layout add character, and the rooms are large enough to use them. A gallery about 17 by 27 feet sits just past the foyer, and the living room runs about 26 feet wide, so the entertaining spaces have real scale.
The kitchen measures about 17 by 12 feet and has a center island, a Thermador oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and granite counters, with deep pantry storage close by. An eat-in kitchen and an office nook just beside it mean cooking and work can happen without crowding the main living rooms.
Sixteen windows face east, west and south.
On the winter solstice, the south-facing lounge can catch roughly 8.5 hours of direct sun, and the equinoxes give about 10 hours. Nearby buildings can block that, so the sun you get depends on what's built around it, and the lounge is where I'd look first for light.
The fourth floor has two bedrooms, a den and a separate home office, which gives you room for guests, work and quiet without using the main living rooms. The fifth floor primary bedroom is about 25 feet wide, with custom built-ins and multiple closets. Its bathroom has marble floors, a deep soaking tub, a double vanity and a glass-enclosed shower.
A laundry room with a washer, dryer and built-in cabinetry is inside the apartment, so you won't need to leave home for a load. The building has 33 stories, 87 units and an elevator, and cats and dogs are allowed with board approval, which is part of any co-op purchase. Fulton Street station, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J and Z trains, is about 3 minutes away on foot, and Whole Foods Market is about 4 minutes.
