Jennifer Lawrence Scopes Out a $17.5M Duplex Penthouse in Tribeca

May 19, 2016

It’s been about a year since Jennifer Lawrence first started her house hunt, and according to The Post, the starlet is showing no signs of giving up on finding the home of her dreams. Gimme Shelter writes that J.Law was just spotted checking out a $17.49 million penthouse in Tribeca’s 140 Franklin Street. According to the listing, the sprawling pad is “intelligently designed and exceptionally renovated” spanning two stories of the building with more than 4,000 feet of interior space and 1,640 square feet of private outdoor terrace. The pre-war 1887 building itself is described as “ultra-discreet” with full-time doorman, on-site staff and just 12 loft residences; A perfect arrangement for an A-lister with a taste for eight-figure apartments.

The listing writes that the home has undergone a renovation by interior designer Robert Stilin. Some architectural highlights include a massive skylight, nine large windows spanning the main living space, a steel staircase and wrought iron beams and columns that frame, and distinguish, the chef’s kitchen from the main space.

There’s also a functioning fireplace and a network enabled lighting, shades and sound system with speakers installed throughout the penthouse.

The kitchen features a beautiful French custom stone island and countertops, and waxed oak cabinetry by RJ Millwork. There’s also a 150-bottle wine refrigeration system, a Wolf oven, Miele built-in coffee maker, a 48-inch Sub-Zero fridge, and not one, but three dishwashers.

All three “well-proportioned” bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom.

An office/library/media space is situated off the terrace, but could easily be turned into a bedroom. Sliding glass doors open up to the outdoor area.

The terrace is a sweet setup decked out with grill and 15-foot prep station, a dining area and a lounge area—all placed agains skyline views, of course. All in all this is one sun-soaked home.

Last year, Lawrence (with then-beau Chris Martin in tow, per the Daily News) eyed a number of other Tribeca apartments, including a $15.25M three-bedroom at 443 Greenwich, a $9.9M five-bedroom at 71 Laight, and a $10M pad at 429 Greenwich Street.

Insane Skylights at this $18 Million Tribeca Penthouse Loft

By Emily Nonko

140 Franklin Street in Tribeca is a prewar building designed by Albert Wagner (also the architect of the Puck Building in Soho) in 1887. It's considered one of the city's best Romanesque Revival buildings, with its grand arched windows and detailed facade. Although it was built for the Walton Company, a manufacturer of wrapping papers, it has since been converted into 12 luxe condo apartments. This one, a penthouse unit, occupies the entire top two floors of the building and spans over 4,000 square feet. The skylights in here are just as grand as the building facade, creating a truly awe-worthy living area. And don't even get us started on the 1,640-square-foot roof top patio...

$20M Tribeca Penthouse Has a 25-Foot Skylight, a Heavenly Terrace and an Industrial Past

By Michelle Cohen

Designed in 1887 for a wrapping paper manufacturer by architect Albert Wagner, who also designed the iconic Puck Building, 140 Franklin Street was converted to a 12-unit boutique residential condominium at the turn of the 21st century. Considered one of the city's most handsome Romanesque Revival-style buildings, it's a study in enviable contrasts; apartments have original cast iron columns, for example, and the building boasts a state-of-the-art water filtration system. Notable neighbors: J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler has an apartment on the fifth floor that he put on the market earlier this year for $35 million. To help put this super-fancy loft–and its fancy price of $19.95 million–in context: Penthouse A was designed for the building conversion's developer; it's on the market for the first time since the building was converted. There are 5,000 square feet of interior space on two floors, plus a spectacular 2,200 square-foot roof terrace. The unit is listed as having only seven rooms, but many of them are the kind of oversized loft space to which the term "room" almost doesn't apply.
