Description

Are you that discerning buyer who seeks clean, modern design but is left cold by the spartan aesthetics of many newer buildings? Do you seek modern amenities AND the solid beauty of classic turn-of-the-last-century architecture? This spacious, bright condo studio with open views to the south has most everything the one-bedroom buyer seeks including great closets, fantastic light and a perfect location just a five-minute walk from the subway and a block and a half to the waterfront Hunters Point South Park and the East River Ferry to Manhattan.The apartment features sleek interiors by renowned designer Andres Escobar with many enhancements by the current owner including a sliding glass wall on the sleeping area/office, additional storage and closet build-outs. The kitchen is perfectly designed and stocked with professional grade appliances.The spa-like bath has a glass shower divide and Smedbo bathroom accessories. The apartment features Hunter-Douglas blinds, upgraded lighting and laundry.The Powerhouse Condo was built as a power station by the illustrious architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. They knew its soon-to-be-iconic silhouette would be gazed at by Manhattanites from across the river and thus they built it to make an impression. (See Georgia OKeefes 1928 painting, East River from the Thirtieth Story of the Shelton Hotel, for a view of the building!) Today the building has been reimagined as a residence with luxury amenities including a landscaped roofdeck with river and Manhattan views, a cutting edge fitness center, lounge (with billiard table!), media room, playroom, a business center and an AquaGrotto spa.First showings to be held at the first open house Sunday, March 29 from noon to 2pm.
