A penthouse like no other! This one of a kind duplex home in a top prewar doorman building has panoramic river views and an expansive roof terrace. It has been tastefully renovated and has four or five bedrooms with direct river views and an abundance of natural light. From a semi-private landing, enter the apartment onto a gracious foyer. Off the foyer is the formal dining room, elegantly framed by pocket doors. The sizable corner living room has a WBFP and is ablaze with light while offering exquisite direct river views. The corner study, with en-suite bath, is tucked away off the living room offering an owner the flexibility to create an additional (fifth) bedroom or guest suite also with river views. The renovated eat-in-kitchen is cheerful and bright with two oversized windows, large central island with seating for 3, top of the line appliances, and a hood that vents to the outside. The adjacent butler's pantry is replete with storage and perfectly complements the kitchen. Two bedrooms, each with ample closet space, a shared windowed bath, and vented W/D complete this level. Ascending the stairs leads to a large landing with a dry bar that leads to an expansive wrap-around terrace, ideal for entertaining. The corner primary suite, with windowed ensuite bath, has a wall of storage and French doors leading to the terrace. The fourth bedroom and windowed hall bath are also found on this floor. There is also a second entrance to the apartment on this level offering the opportunity to access either floor directly from the elevator. This amazing home is affectionately called "Clouds" in all of the building documentation. Within the apartment, heat and AC can be individually controlled in all rooms. Additionally, there is a separately deeded maid's quarters in the building that can be purchased with the apartment. Beekman Mansion is a luxurious prewar cooperative located on a charming cul-de-sac street away from the bustle of the city. Amenities include a 24 hour doorman, live-in super, storage, and laundry room. The building is also pied-a-terre and pet friendly. The entrance to Peter Detmold Park, home to one of the best dog parks in Manhattan, is just outside the building's entrance and the lovely Beekman Place is located across the street. Convenient to all transportation (E, M, 6, N, R, W trains and buses), this prestigious neighborhood is a hidden gem with some of the best bespoke food shops, markets, and restaurants only steps away.
