500 4th Avenue #9-B

If you have been waiting for a truly dramatic and spacious home with unrivaled views and outdoor space, look no further than unit 9B at 500 4th Avenue. This home is an exclusive one-of-a-kind layout for the building that is unmatched on its combination of protected and private outdoor space, panoramic views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the skyline, and many NYC landmarks. Perched high atop the building with Northwest exposures, you will have a front row seat to the best views in town, amazing privacy (no one looking into your windows) and an enormous and protected private terrace (over 220 sq. ft.!) so you can enjoy it from both inside AND outside. This special terrace is large enough for full-scale entertaining and BBQ'ing, so plan a 4th of July party, or just don your gardener's gloves and get to work on creating a show-stopping garden in the sky. The private corner location protects you from the elements while never obscuring your view. The interior of this spectacular home is different than the building's typical 2 bed, 2 bath home as it includes a larger kitchen and balcony doors leading to the massive terrace. And the real show-stopper is a windowed master suite with a deep soaking bathtub with views for miles and a bedroom window from which you can enjoy the privacy of your own landscaped terrace. Enjoy a private soak and a view after a hard day at work! It has been wonderfully maintained and it affords a dining area and a spacious living room from which to enjoy the views, plus two sizable bedrooms both large enough for king-sized beds. Don't miss the plethora of closets and your very own washer and dryer too. A surprisingly spacious and well-designed kitchen offers up an enormous eating and prep island, as well as a Viking appliance package, Carrara marble countertops, and custom gray cabinetry. Custom upgrades include Nelson and Restoration Hardware lighting! Spa-like bathrooms have been designed with Gaudi marble flooring, limestone walls accented with glass mosaic, and an en-suite master bath with a glass enclosed shower AND a windowed bathtub. 500 4th Avenue features an attended parking garage with monthly spaces for rent, 24 hr. doorman, and hotel-like amenities including a gym, playroom, a residents' lounge, home theatre, and game room. This is a stunning building located with every convenience right outside your door, including the F/G/R trains a block away, the new Whole Foods, and an amazing array of world-class dining, shopping and amenities in every direction. A short jaunt up the hill takes you to Prospect Park as well. The reasonable common charges and tax abatement (in effect until 2025) make luxury finally affordable within an easy commuting distance into Manhattan, and no sacrifices required
