From the library to the rooftop sunroom and private terrace with dazzling Hudson River views, loft lovers won’t want to change a thing in this perfect penthouse at 288 West Street. As 6sqft previously reported, actress Jennifer Connelly and British actor Paul Bettany bought the four-bedroom penthouse in celebrity-magnet Tribeca for just under $7,000,000 in 2008. Four years later the couple reportedly sold the home in an off-market sale for $8,495,000 when they decamped for the brownstones of Brooklyn. The 4,000-square-foot penthouse loft is back on the market, asking $12,000,000.

Details like impossibly high ceilings, steel-framed, and arched factory windows, and wooden beams frame a huge open living room and large, cozy library. The library offers a full wall of built-in shelving for your entire collection and a wood-burning fireplace.

Skylights and walls of windows frame the vast double-height loft kitchen. A huge dining area allows for both casual gatherings and grand-scale entertaining.

The primary suite is everything a primary suite should be. A massive dressing room is joined by an elegant travertine-clad bath. There are three additional large bedrooms, each fabulous in its own way.

Stairs in the library lead to a magical sunroom. The city is at your feet, and the roof terrace is just outside.

Enjoy 1,280 square feet of private planted rooftop terrace for indoor-outdoor living. Plantings provide optimal privacy, and the views in every direction provide inspiration.

Known as the Medium Lipstick Building, 288 West Street was built in 1890 and used as a spice warehouse; it has since been converted to a 14-unit co-op. The lobby offers keyless entry and video security.

Jennifer Connelly trades Tribeca co-op for $15M Brooklyn Heights townhouse

By Annie Doge

Actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany are switching boroughs by selling their Tribeca co-op and picking up a Brooklyn Heights townhouse for $15.5 million. The sale represents one of the most expensive deals in Brooklyn ever, according to the Wall Street Journal. While the transaction was off-market, an old listing for the Brooklyn property at 140 Columbia Heights describes the 8,000-square-foot home as having views of the Statue of Liberty and the Lower Manhattan skyline. The sellers are Timothy Ingrassia, a Goldman Sachs executive, and his wife Stephanie, who serves as a vice chair on the Brooklyn Museum's board of trustees. The Ingrassias paid $10.75 million for the property in 2006.

Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen list uber-stylish Tribeca loft for $3M

By Annie Doge

"American Pie" and "Orange is the New Black" actor Jason Biggs married actress and author Jenny Mollen in 2008, after they met filming "My Best Friend's Girl." Five years later, the trendy couple bought a sprawling Tribeca loft at 288 West Street for $2.55 million, enlisting designer-to-the-stars Cliff Fong (with whom they'd worked previously on two L.A. homes) to outfit the space with a combination of modern furniture and accessories from Wayfair.com, their extensive art collection, and playful and comfortable pieces to accommodate their three-year-old son Sid--all of which blend seamlessly with the loft's brick walls, exposed timber framing and beams, raw pipes, and open floorplan. They've now decided to put the apartment on the market, and it's asking a not-especially, marked-up price of $2,995,000.

Actors and Filmmakers of Tribeca: The Movie Mecca Downtown

By Heather Cooper Vivares and Amanda Cozens

With its cobblestone streets, quirky artists' lofts and industrial-chic architecture, Tribeca is a hot spot for filming movies and television scenes. This past spring, we did a round up of the musicians that call Tribeca home; now we're taking a look at the flock of actors and filmmakers who have made the move to the 'hood's picturesque streets. Tribeca's most famous resident, Robert De Niro, is often credited with transforming the neighborhood into the vibrant place we know today by opening multiple restaurants, developing property, and most notably creating the world-famous Tribeca Film Festival. In addition to De Niro, we mapped out Tribeca's celebrity residents who are famous onscreen and behind the scenes. Ranging from Gwyneth Paltrow's "fuzzy nap zones" with river views to Lena Dunham's artist loft from "Tiny Furniture," it's clear that celebrities feel at home in Tribeca.
