Brilliantly designed and renovated, this two-bedroom contemporary duplex loft penthouse cleverly combines functionality with industrial-chic. Expansive and inviting with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, the spacious living/dining room is filled with light and stunning views of the Hudson River from multiple over-sized windows facing north with motorized solar shades. Highlights are the original and exposed wooden beams and original hardwood floors.  The open HenryBuilt kitchen with striking polished black granite counter tops features the brand's signature custom island with additional storage and a beverage fridge, as well as high-end appliances, Dornbracht faucet, and a separate wine fridge. Currently configured as an extension of the living room, the second bedroom is used as a lounging area, while the second full bathroom includes a custom-made vanity and hand-painted wallpaper.  A peaceful retreat on the second floor, the master bedroom suite has a beautiful view of the terrace, a luxurious spa-like bathroom with soaking tub and steam shower, and dressing area with custom closets.  The bathroom features stone grey travertine counter tops and tub-surround, limestone and pebble floors, Kallista fixtures in a satin nickel finish, and glass shower.  But it's the huge, private two-tiered Ipe wood terrace that makes this apartment special.  Complete with a pergola and fantastic open views, this outdoor oasis is the perfect place for relaxing, entertaining, and getting swept away in colorful sunsets. The second tier sun deck has unobstructed views of the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty as well as sweeping views of the river.  Other notable highlights: Control 4 home automation system, central A/C, and full-size stackable W/D.  Originally the home of the Sapolia Soap Factory, 166 Bank Street was converted to coop in 1981 and remains a private, boutique community with an elevator, full-time superintendent, video security, and pet-friendly attitude.  Within close proximity to parks, the High Line, Chelsea Piers, the new Whitney Museum, trendy Village restaurants and shops, and the Meat Packing District.  Location, Location, Location!!!
