The penthouse at 234 East 23rd is a full-floor residence with cinematic open city views and great outdoor space on two levels. A thoughtful 4 bedroom with 3.5 baths, the penthouse is in one of the best designed and best-selling buildings currently on the market. The residence's private outdoor space is expansive and fun. A pretty outdoor terrace runs across the southern end of the apartment and can be accessed from the entertaining rooms as well as from the master bedroom. This terrace connects to an outside loggia with stairs leading up to a private rooftop terrace complete with outdoor kitchen. While the outdoor space is compelling, the inside space is just as interesting and beautiful. With fabulous casement windows, high ceilings and stunning views, the penthouse is very special. The bedroom layout is quite flexible and can easily shift from a 4 bedroom plan to 3 bedroom with a library, and then back again. Functionality and beauty tie together seamlessly in the design of the kitchen with its white quartzite countertops, silver travertine backsplash and open stainless steel shelving. The kitchen also features professional grade appliances. The master suite has two walk-in closets and includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom with an elegant shower surround of framed casement glazing, a custom patterned stone tile floor, performance polished chrome Waterworks fittings and a custom made vanity with double sinks crafted with Carrera marble. The walls are clad in a coordinated limestone. The second bedroom also has an en-suite bath and the third and fourth bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom. Secondary baths all have a custom pattern tile floor, a custom lacquer and Carrera stone vanity and a Kohler bathtub or shower. The apartment also has a powder room for guests. 234 East 23rd Street is a full-service building with interiors and amenities designed by leading interior design practice Rottet Studio with the refined quality of a boutique hotel. Designed as a natural extension of your home, 234's amenities include a spacious, well-appointed gym, a generously scaled residents' library with pool table, and garden and rooftop spaces, complete with BBQ grill and outdoor kitchen for relaxing and entertaining.
