Surrounded by breathtaking 360 degree views of Manhattan, this sprawling full-floor penthouse atop Walker Tower, arguably the most sought-after Downtown condominium, is a triumph of architectural pedigree, modern design, and extraordinary craftsmanship.

Built in 1929, Walker Tower was designed in Art Deco style by Ralph Thomas Walker, a renowned American architect whom Frank Lloyd Wright referred to as "the only other honest architect in America." In 2012, Cetra Ruddy, one of New York's most distinguished architectural teams, reimagined the Downtown icon to create 47 luxurious condominium residences with best-in-class amenities.

Crafted by internationally acclaimed interior designer, Bradley Bayou, the residence was designed to maximize the original architectural grandeur and panoramic views of the cityscape. With its remarkable scale and beautifully flowing layout, the residence is accessed by a private landing and encompasses 2 outdoor terraces and 9.5 interior rooms, including 4-bedrooms, 4-full and 2-half bathrooms.

Positioned against the dramatic backdrop of skyline and river views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, the penthouse offers grand entertaining spaces including the expansive 45 x 23 foot great room which accommodates three seating areas and opens onto a beautiful terrace. Outfitted with a striking Italian marble woodburning fireplace, wet bar, and a separate speaker system by Wilson, the great room is the ultimate living space. The handsomely appointed, gracious formal dining room features multi-step coffered ceiling and custom lighting by Jean De Merry and the warm and inviting media room is equipped with start-of-the-art technology.

Situated against panoramic corner views of The Empire State Building through floor-to-ceiling windows, the eat-in kitchen has been equipped with custom Smallbone of Devizes cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures, marble and limestone countertops, and a selection of appliances by Sub-Zero and Miele, including two full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, and a 75-bottle wine cooler by Sub Zero.

The sprawling master bedroom suite is a pristine sanctuary featuring a white quartzite woodburning fireplace, an expansive ensuite bathroom, and a private terrace. The windowed bathroom suite is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling custom marble, a steam shower, and a custom freestanding soaking tub. Tucked off the master bedroom and great room and surrounded by majestic views is the stunning library/office with a woodburning fireplace finished in rare laboradorte stone.

A separate guest wing, with optional private entry, features 2 bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and ample closet space; a kitchenette outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances by Miele and Fisher & Paykel; a laundry room with 2 washers, 2 dryers, and a rotary iron by Miele. The fourth bedroom is located on the North side of the apartment and also includes an ensuite marble bathroom.

The ceiling heights range from 9'6" throughout the residence to 10'4" within ceiling alcoves. Interior walls throughout the apartment have been resurfaced to achieve a true level five finish. The foyer and great room feature Venetian plaster walls while the bedrooms and library/office have been finished with wall coverings by Phillip Jeffries and Kneedler Fauchere, respectively.

The residence has been outfitted with the latest in smart home technology by Crestron including state-of-the-art touchscreen panels for room-by-room control of light, temperature, shades and sound systems throughout.  Among numerous fine features throughout this rarefied home are: custom drapery; hydronic radiant floor heating system; electric heated toilet seats by Toto with motion-sensing controls and touchless bidet functions; premium ultra-quiet fan coil air conditioning system; and built-in humidification and ventilation systems distributing balanced outside air throughout.
