Perched atop an Art Deco 1930's A-grade full service condominium building, this remarkable penthouse has been meticulously gut renovated to the most exacting standards by Steven Harris, one of the premiere architects of our time. Occupying an entire peninsula at the top of the building, this duplex home boasts awe-inspiring, protected views South to Downtown Manhattan, sensational sunsets to the West, and exhilarating views North. Enter via a gracious light -filled gallery with walls of Corian that conceal storage and a powder room. You are led to the grandly scaled loft-like entertaining rooms with a 3-sided living room/dining room with a wood burning fireplace and wetbar, and a huge eat-in kitchen/great room with a chic kitchen outfitted with the materials, appliances and craftsmanship you'd expect from a property of this caliber. A charming guest suite/media room with a terrace complete the main level. Upstairs, a majestic Master Suite awaits, with a lush en suite bathroom featuring an over-sized shower stall and a deep soaking tub. Superb closets, expertly milled and outfitted feature throughout. There are three additional bedroom suites, each with a sleek bathroom, open views and light and outstanding closet space. There is also a fully equipped laundry room. On the roof is the prize of the apartment: an entertaining-sized landscaped terrace with breathtaking views and a skylight dining table. This is a rare property of distinction unlike any other, combining the best of pre-war classic apartments with the most contemporary, chic downtown design.
