Description

EXCEPTIONAL OFFERING! THE CROWN JEWEL OF PENTHOUSE LOFTS

This rare, full-floor penthouse loft is a quintessential Soho/Nolita masterpiece, boasting exclusive

private roof terraces with three spiral staircases providing direct access from within the

unit. Prepare to be captivated by the dramatic, panoramic city views in every

direction-North, South, East, and West-from the expansive oversized windows that

flood the space with natural light.

Located on the 12th floor, this unique property comprises two separate units-

12E and 12W-which can either be seamlessly combined to create one sprawling,

spectacular residence or left as two distinct units. The floor comes with two Certificates

of Occupancy, offering unmatched flexibility. As noted by the NYC Department of

Buildings, the building dimensions span 50 feet 2 inches by 99 feet 9.5 inches.

When combined, the space can accommodate 5+ bedrooms with abundant open

areas for living and entertaining, complemented by 5 full existing bathrooms. The loft is

adorned with 3 fireplaces, and both units are equipped with their own laundry

facilities-2 washers and 2 dryers. The high ceilings add to the sense of grandeur, and a

stunning skylight on the Eastern side of the loft fills the space with light.

Access to the building is both secure and private, featuring a key-locked passenger

elevator and two freight elevators (one directly in unit 12E). For additional

convenience, there's a video intercom for lobby entry, and a visiting

superintendent for maintenance needs.

The Western unit (12W) is a duplex, with an upper-level room that can serve as a

bedroom, office, or studio, complete with an en-suite bath and double sliding

doors that lead out to a massive L-shaped terrace The Eastern unit offers not

one, but two spiral staircases that lead up to multiple private roof terraces, perfect for

outdoor lounging or entertaining with unparalleled city views.

Located between Prince St. and Spring St., you'll be steps away from the heart of

SoHo and Nolita, with endless access to the finest dining, shopping, and culture

the city has to offer. Subway access is a breeze, with the 6 train just a block away,

and t h e N/R/W/B/D/F lines also within easy reach.

This sun-drenched, once-in-a-lifetime property is a rare gem in one of the most sought-

after neighborhoods. Flexible subletting policies and strong financials within the building

offer further appeal. Advance notice required for showings-don't miss out on this

intoxicating opportunity! Building is installing new Elevator, Lobby renovation and building facade - Seller paying full assessment.
