Description

Dreaming of Otherworldly Rooftop Space?

Introducing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for year-round lounging and entertaining on one of the most spectacular, private roof decks to come onto the downtown market in years.

The sprawling and masterfully designed roof deck was built from the ground up with incredible attention to detail and a voracious love for entertaining. The top-of-the-line, Jacuzzi hot tub for up to six people is undoubtedly the star of the show but its supporting cast is impressive as well with the Rolls-Royce of BBQ grills a Fire Magic Echelon along with lush landscaping, built-in seating for gatherings large and small, Sonos surround sound system, a mounted television, a retractable awning, 2-drawer Marvel refrigerator, and even an ice machine to keep the cocktails flowing. You and your guests will enjoy un-obstructed, panoramic views of the city, stretching from the Empire State Building to the Freedom Tower. This sexy backdrop is jaw dropping during the day but an absolute must-see at night. So get your guest list started and enjoy what most New Yorkers dream of having!

This penthouse, floor-through loft was designed by internationally acclaimed architect/designer Patrick Naggar who created a sleek, modern home that oozes luxury, but also feels warm and comfortable. As you enter through the key locked elevator youll be astounded by the grand scale of the home which offers close to 4000 SF of combined indoor-outdoor living. The home is sun-drenched, boasting 20 oversized windows, 5 massive skylights and the unicorn of Manhattan offerings 4 exposures! The 360-degree views are spectacular and perfect for that end-of-the day glass of wine, sitting next to the wood-burning fireplace looking onto the picture-perfect, city skyline.

Youll want to host a lavish dinner party of two with a Balthaup installed kitchen thats sure to bring our your chefs skills, featuring Gaggeneau convection and steam ovens, a stove by DCS, Subzero refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, a 46 vented hood, stainless steel counters and glass backsplashes. Bathrooms are equipped with honed marble, Lefroy Brooks hardware, Toto toilets along with assorted glass and subway tiles.

Additional special features include a Sonos sound system connected in every room, a 50-foot-long wall of rift cut Anigr (an African hard wood) veneer that runs the length of the living space, 8 wide plank African Teak floors, a enormous and customized primary bedroom closet fit for royalty, Lutron lighting with dimmers, Von Morris and Olive Knuckle hinges throughout, a smart security system. Equally important, but more functional features include an oversized freight elevator that opens to the loft, a water filtration system, central air conditioning and a large storage room.

The cherry on top is the unbelievable low, $3,800 monthly maintenance.
