Clean lines, open space and an emphasis on light are defining characteristics of this boutique West Village condominium and are on display in perfect harmony within its penthouse. This one-of-a-kind showplace has an effortless sense of flow that draws all who enter through the foyer and spills out into the double height great room, where one is stunned by its brilliant Hudson River views. With three full floor-to-ceiling glass walls, light plays a constantly changing role in the apartment’s mood through the shifting of shadows, colour and intensity. Boasting a large seating area and banquet table that seats 26, gatherings of any size will be dazzled by this incredible space. This 4,551 square foot (422.8m²) duplex boasts four split bedrooms with glass walls, en suite marble bathrooms, walk-in closets and automatic shades throughout. The master suite occupies the entire second floor and is unattached to the exterior walls, giving it the appearance of floating above the great room, supported only by columns. It is accessed by a frosted glass staircase that pulses with natural light from the skylight above.
The master bedroom and bath both have frosted glass shutters that when closed give off a muted glow but when opened, on to the great room, throw the full force of that room’s light into the suite. The master soaking tub is prominently placed at the centre of the bathroom where the owner may relax while taking in Hudson River views through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall. Downstairs the signature south-facing Meier designed chef’s kitchen is styled with sleek white cabinetry, solid white Corian counter tops, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances. The kitchen island is the perfect place to have breakfast or just sit and watch the morning sun over lower Manhattan. Outside the stunning 1,600 square foot wraparound terrace encircles three sides of the apartment and offers 360 degree views of the city that stretch from the Empire State building and Chrysler building all the way down to One World Trade Center. This full service building boasts an indoor naturally lit 50-foot infinity lap pool, gym with locker rooms and showers, sauna, cinema screening room and residents lounge. A private climate-controlled wine storage unit and three large private storage bins are also included with the purchase of this stunning penthouse.
