130 William Street, Unit L56BNew York City, NY 10038Price: $4,399,999

Residence L56B is not simply a B-line resale, it is the finished loggia residence. The unit itself spans 1,509 square feet and a 272 square foot loggia, which is truly an extension of the outdoors completely sheltered from the elements. Extensively upgraded beyond sponsor condition, the home pairs private outdoor living with a fully executed designer interior, including ebonized floors, custom plaster moldings, Forbes & Lomax switches, Roman and Williams fixtures, a turnkey level of finish and the loggia unit in the building to accomplish it.

Loggia 56B is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence of 1,509 square feet at 130 William, Sir David Adjaye's landmark tower in Lower Manhattan. Finished by AD100 designer Alex Papachristidis and offered in turnkey condition, it is one of the building's rare Loggia residences, a tier defined by covered outdoor rooms that function as a true extension of the interior. This one is among the finest available.

The loggia itself is 272 square feet of private outdoor room, fifty-six stories in the sky. Custom planters wrap two sides and meet the building's facade without a visible seam. A Japanese maple anchors the composition. Climbing hydrangea covers the wall and throws white flowers across the spring and summer. Beyond the planting, the city opens: bridges, the river, the spires of downtown.

Inside, north and east exposures and ceilings fitted for light, as high as eleven feet. Morning arrives through a wall of arched windows and settles across floors the color of a strong black espresso. The ceilings have been straightened to receive custom plaster moldings, which meet tall, tailored baseboards at the floor. The walls are dressed in printed and hand-painted grass cloth. To achieve that rich espresso brown, the floors have been ebonized.

The layout is intuitive in the way that well-planned apartments should be. You enter through a proper foyer, which gives the home a sense of arrival before the living room even comes into view. The corner living and dining room opens directly onto the loggia, blurring the line between inside and out. Guests have their own powder room clad in fluted Salvatori Italian marble, a small room that makes an outsized impression. The two bedrooms are tucked privately at the opposite end, away from the entertaining rooms, each with its own bath.
The kitchen is built into the open living and dining room. It features Custom Pedini Italian cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances including a double oven and dedicated wine storage. Marble countertops cantilevered past their supports in a single clean line.

Both bedrooms look out over the city through arched windows. High ceilings and generous proportions give the rooms a sense of serenity and warmth . Each bedroom vestibule is crowned by a flush-mount canopy fixture designed by Roman and Williams Guild and made in France. The primary bedroom was rewired during the renovation for a chandelier on its own dimmer, placed dead center. Its bath is Salvatori marble from the Apuan Alps, carved into a soaking tub and vanity sinks, paired with bronze fittings designed by the building's architect. The second bedroom, equally at home as a library, has wiring for two pairs of sconces behind the walls. Its bath is finished in Salvatori Italian marble. Closets are custom California Closet with soft-close drawers and sensor-activated interior lights.

The laundry room is one of the owner's prized possessions. An architect drew it in the spirit of mid-century Italian design. Custom-fabricated pulls. Soft-close cabinetry built to house a dedicated Dyson cabinet, a medicine cabinet, and a concealed hamper. Decorative elements near the ceiling echo the arched windows of the facade.
The level of detail truly speaks for itself.Every light switch and electric plug is Forbes & Lomax. Shades are programmable by The Shade Store.Window sills are finished in smooth waterproof paint with a warm tactile hand.

The building adds an infinity-edge spa pool, thermal pool, cold plunge, massage room, rain shower, dry sauna, fitness center with terrace, yoga studio, basketball court, IMAX private theatre, golf simulator, children's activity center, a rooftop terrace with grilling stations and outdoor dining, an indoor lounge with a dedicated catering kitchen, private dining room and game area, full-time doorman, and on-site resident manager.

A neighborhood with a waterfront, concert venues, a lawn games club, an independent bookshop, tennis, and some of the city's most interesting restaurants has arrived. But it still surprises people. Whole Foods, Printemps, Life Time, Equinox, the Seaport, and Pier 17 are all close at hand. Fulton Center connects the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains in one station, the Wall Street Ferry Terminal at Pier 11 serves Brooklyn, Queens, and the Hudson Valley, and the PATH is accessible for New Jersey.
