Rarely does a duplex loft of this size and scale come to market offering such astounding views and outdoor space. Bring your architect and imagination to this truly special home with over 6,000 SF, soaring ceilings, 4 sun-flooded exposures plus a balcony and terrace. The grand upper level encompasses the entire eighth floor, accessed by a key-locked elevator and a private landing. Enter the home into the south-facing living room, flooded with natural light afforded by nearly floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of historic Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and as far South as the Freedom Tower. At over 37' wide, the living room provides multiple configurations for both large-scale and intimate gatherings. Adjacent to the living room is a separate, stately library with similar drop-dead Southern views and light. Up a few sculptural and sweeping steps is a comfortable den area with wood-burning fireplace, conveniently next to the kitchen and dining area. Just past the chef's kitchen is a lounge adjacent to the Primary Suite, both of which boast sweeping open NYC views to the north, including the Empire State Building. The primary bedroom is a private and serene retreat with a soaking tub, separate windowed bathroom and a grand custom walk-in closet. A private north-facing balcony sits off the Primary and is an enjoyable place for a morning coffee. The main floor is rounded out by another bedroom with en suite bathroom, a full bathroom for guests, dedicated laundry room, and an abundance of closets. Descending the staircase to the 7th floor reveals more interesting loft spaces. Configured with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a second full kitchen, walls of closets, and a lounge area, there are multiple opportunities to create private spaces or leave open for guests. The highlight of the seventh floor is a 43' wide terrace with incredible Northern city views. 147 West 15th Street is a pre-war loft building that converted to a cooperative in the mid-1980s and is known for its striking architectural details. Security includes video intercom, key locked residential and freight elevators and a superintendent. Ideally situated on a quiet, residential block lined with low-rise buildings and close to both everyday conveniences and high-end culture including some of the city's best restaurants and art galleries.
