Surrounded by three magnificent terraces and a wall of solarium windows, this stellar full floor two-bedroom, one-bathroom penthouse provides endless golden light and the epitome of indoor-outdoor living on a coveted SoHo block. Arrive in the breathtaking, light-filled showplace and take in open-sky views that wrap the home in literally every direction. Unobstructed sunsets to the west, sunrises to the east and the rest of the city skyline become your daily backdrop from the dining terrace off the great room and the enormous terrace near the entry. An ideal home for gracious entertaining, there's plenty of space for generous living and dining areas under ceilings that stretch nearly 13 feet high, and whether you choose to dine al fresco or near the cozy wood-burning fireplace, the well-equipped open kitchen is more than up to the task with great cabinet space and stainless steel appliances. The desirable split-bedroom layout places bedrooms on opposite sides of the great room. In the master, you'll find a truly massive walk-in closet and a third partially covered private terrace. The second bedroom is nicely sized with a picture frame window that looks directly onto The Empire State Building. Additional entry closet completes this sunny penthouse's well-planned layout. Located within the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, this quaint brick building was originally constructed in 1893 as the police department's 10th Precinct. Expanded and converted to cooperative use in 1984, the boutique elevator building offers common laundry facilities in the basement. Tucked behind the newly renovated Father Fagan Park, and flanked by the Village and Hudson Square, this tranquil home offers immediate proximity to all that SoHo living has to offer. Fantastic dining and world-class shopping are mere inches from your front door, and access to transportation is unbeatable thanks to C/E, 1, N/R/W and B/D/F/M trains all within easy reach. Additionally a Trader Joe's is soon to open across the street. Pets allowed, laundry in the basement, co-purshacing and sublets allowed.
