Description

Perched on one of the highest floors at 161 West 16th Street, this renovated junior one-bedroom is a masterclass in efficient design, infused with the charm of pre-war architecture and utilizing every square foot. Upon entering, you’re immediately drawn to the expansive northeastern skyline views, flooding the space with natural light throughout the day. A classic 9’3” beamed ceiling enhances the sense of openness in the living room, which is thoughtfully designed to accommodate relaxing, dining, and entertaining with ease. Custom millwork and lighting add a refined, architectural touch. The sleeping area comfortably fits a queen-size bed and features extensive built-in storage, maximizing space without compromising style. Adjacent to the living space, the windowed kitchen is designed with efficiency in mind. Outfitted with high-quality appliances—including a Fisher & Paykel range and microwave, Liebherr refrigerator, and Blomberg dishwasher—it delivers both form and function in a sleek, well-organized layout. The Bathroom features a glass-enclosed tub/shower combination, accented by a striking marble feature wall, glass tile surrounds, and a stone-tiled floor. A stylish vanity provides ample storage, ensuring both beauty and practicality. Beyond the apartment’s stunning views, residents can take in panoramic cityscapes from the recently refurbished roof deck, complete with comfortable seating and even an outdoor shower—a rare luxury in Manhattan.
