Penthouse C is a rare and exceptional one-bedroom apartment with two terraces featuring architectural details and spectacular open city views. Facing south, down to Hudson Yards and beyond, it is flooded with natural light and also offers eastern and western exposures, making it perfect for sunset (and even fireworks) views.  The apartment has a spacious layout with large rooms, excellent closet space, and coveted pre-war features such as high ceilings (approx. 10" in the LR), oversized casement windows, a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood oak floors, and a large bathroom with a cast iron tub and separate stall shower. Though the interior needs updating, this penthouse offers a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind home atop a classic pre-war gem.
