The crown jewel of the Ritz-Carlton Residences downtown, this palatial five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom duplex penthouse has been elegantly planned by esteemed designer Bjorn Bjornsson to accommodate both luxurious everyday living and lavish entertaining surrounded by breathtaking views, premier finishes and oversized outdoor terraces.

Every space, finish and fixture within this home's approx 7,800sf footprint has been carefully considered and magnificently executed. Enter at the upper level to find luxe surroundings built to entertain, lined with sparkling, 270-degree harbor and city views. The corner living room is warmed by a cozy working fireplace, while the adjacent bar and den features a beautifully wrought Blue Agate Stone bar and direct access to the spacious south-facing outdoor terrace, the perfect setting for al fresco refreshments soaring over stunning water vistas.

The home's floating central stair carves out a bright and sophisticated dining area with the grand chef's kitchen and breakfast room, anchored by stone pillars and exquisite granite countertops, just steps away. Abundant professional grade appliances easily accommodate the largest of dinner parties, including double refrigerators, double wall ovens, three speed ovens, six-burner range with vented hood, double dishwashers and built-in Miele Espresso maker. The sumptuous corner media room is flanked by another 700-square-foot terrace featuring gorgeous and private cityscape and water views as well as a 6-person hot tub.  A state of art Savant Smart Home System, radiant heated floors, Venetian plaster walls, elegant onyx powder room and staff room with full bath complete this level.

Downstairs, ultra-private sleeping quarters and modern conveniences abound. The massive master suite occupies the southern wing, delivering intimate serenity on a grand scale. Wall-to-wall water views provide a peaceful backdrop, while two massive, custom walk-in closets attend to every possible wardrobe need. In the breathtaking en suite master bathroom featuring radiant heated floors, wall-to-wall stone and mother of pearl tile surrounds a cavernous glass shower, deep soaking tub for two and ornate double vanity. Three more large bedrooms with en suite baths and an immense home office anchor the northern wing, while in between, residents enjoy a spacious home gym and an extra-large laundry room with double washer dryers and jetted sink. Coved ceilings, designer window treatments, silver leaf, exquisite millwork, custom light fixtures and grand chandeliers add to the unending style and beauty found throughout this truly special showplace.
