40 Mercer Street #39

This stunning 2200+ SF corner penthouse-level apartment, with its private front and back doors, is in the most sought-after condominium in the SoHo Historic District. It exudes modern luxury and elegance with caring 24-hour concierge service and unparalleled views of Downtown Manhattan. While currently configured as a huge owner bedroom suite and a separate private home office suite, one could easily make it into a three bedroom home plus two bathrooms and a powder room. Throughout the apartment the high ceilings (11') and lofty proportions emphasize the floor-to-ceiling windows, open living room and dining room and allow majestic sunlight all day long. Unique to 40 Mercer, the south window wall in the living area electronically slides open at the touch of a button to the outside and creates one's very own loggia. Additional exposures to the east and north offer unique SoHo views including glimpses of both the Hudson and East Rivers. The magnificence of the apartment is found in the breath-taking nighttime views of Downtown Manhattan with its glowing Woolworth Historic Building and other landmark buildings. Being located in the SOHO-Cast Iron Historic District, these spectacular views are forever. The chef's kitchen is tucked away but accessible and includes Poggenpohl cabinetry (top-of-the-line finishes with stainless pull-out workstation), Gaggenau, Miele, and Subzero stainless-steel appliances (dishwasher, wine refrigerator, freezer/refrigerator, double ovens, gas six-burner cooktop, disposal). Custom enhancements include electric solar shades, surround sound and Crestron system. A generous private basement storage room offers additional square footage. Thoughtfully and flawlessly customized, the master bedroom suite has a wall of closets and a beautiful custom walk-in closet. A luxurious master bathroom features heated marble floors, a dual white oak and walnut vanity, Lefroy Brooks fixtures, towel warmers, extra-long soaking tub and a glass enclosed shower. Luxurious Toto bath fixtures in the guest bedroom suite and powder room include bidets, heated seats and hands-free auto-flush systems. The residence, the closest to a private home one can find in a totally protected condominium, is ready for move-in. It can be purchased fully furnished, with its stunning Christian Liaigre furnishings and accessories, vintage rugs and everything from heavy-duty Maytag washer/dryer and Miele vacuum cleaner to bed and bath linens, cooking utensils, small appliances and sparkling glass and dinnerware. Designed and developed by Andre Balazs and Jean Nouvel, 40 Mercer is a masterful creation of unsurpassed modern luxury with only 40 ultra-private residences. It won the 'Best Condominium Design' award in New York City for its minimalist, contemporary steel and glass architecture and spectacular facade of Nouvel's signature red and blue glass windows.
