Get lost in a time-warp at Vestry, located at 33 Vestry Street in the creative Tribeca area of Manhattan. The facade is translucent glass and marble, hardly compatible with the browns and tans of the neighborhood brick buildings. But with a style like Vestry’s, residents of these seven units won’t need to fit in with everyone else. Starting with the car elevator that will take your vehicle to private parking, Vestry is a unique addition to the area. The building was designed by the Dutch architect Winka Dubbeldam, a visionary in her own right. She includes a mixture of apartment styles, including single-level units, townhouses, three and four-bedroom triplexes and a duplex penthouse.

Dubbeldam saw Vestry’s unique potential to speak to its residents and went with it. Spacious floor plans leave plenty of room for residents to discover their own style, while classic additions like a 5′ gas-burning fireplace (with Pompeii stone hearth) brings with it the high standard of design expected in luxury developments. Mafi hardwood oak flooring is used throughout, a darker shade of wood that envelopes the home in elegance. In the kitchen, stainless steel countertops mingle with fully-incorporated brand name appliances to take residents into the future, when efficiency will dictate that everything have its own place. Bathrooms add to that futuristic appeal; they are large and pristine, with heated limestone flooring and a comfortable, six-foot soaking tub. A separate shower and toilet area allows for increased privacy. Recessed lighting throughout the home adds ambiance.

Outdoor space is important in today’s green-conscious world, and Vestry has included terraces or balconies with all of their apartments. The penthouse, with a 1900 square foot roof deck, comes out ahead of everyone, especially with its private 16′x8′ heated pool and Ipe wood flooring, but in New York, it’s not the space that counts, but what can be done with the space. And even a small 100 square foot terrace is room enough to enjoy a little extra peace and quiet.

Since they first started sales in April 2007, four units have sold or gone into contract; therefore, there are currently three units still available, ranging from $6.2 million for a large full-floor apartment with 3,252 square feet, to the extravagant penthouse with over 7,000 square feet inside and 3,693 square feet out, priced at an equally extravagant $22 million. Units come with private storage areas, walk-in closets and insulated glass windows, in addition to private laundry facilities. The development is only block away from Tribeca’s many eateries and entertainment.
