Penthouse C is the crown jewel of the Butterfield House at 37 West 12th Street. Apartments of this scale and location are extremely rare and this home represents a unique opportunity with its abundant space, light, and proportions, in mint move-in condition, in prime Gold Coast Greenwich Village.

Upon entering the home, you will be immediately struck by the extensive and thoughtful renovation resulting in a luxurious residence of grand scale both inside and out.  On the south side of the residence, you will find the great room which is bookended by stunning built-in cabinetry on one end and an open, windowed kitchen on the other end. This expansive living space boasts a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and an incredible setback terrace with stunning southern views of the downtown skyline and the Freedom Tower. Enjoy protected views and light all day long in an area known for low-rise buildings and historic townhouses. The open floor plan provides the perfect backdrop for comfortable living and lavish indoor and outdoor entertaining.

The open, island kitchen features custom, solid wood cabinetry, marble-clad counters and backsplash, and the best high-end appliances including a large side-by-side SubZero fridge, a six-burner Viking range, a Bosch dishwasher, and a wine fridge.  A large walk-in pantry and a renovated full bath add to the convenience of this grand living space.

On the opposite end of the great room, there are two generously proportioned bedrooms both featuring large walk-in closets and each with access to an enclosed solarium with stunning southern exposures. An additional, fully renovated bath is conveniently located adjacent to the two bedrooms.

The north side of the residence features a more formal living and dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and access to the large, north-facing terrace providing exceptional views of the midtown skyline and Hudson Yards. There is plenty of room to recreate the primary suite in this area complete with a large walk-in closet and fully renovated en-suite bath.

An open staircase leads you to the upper level and the current primary suite featuring sunny, open northern and southern views. A custom-built walk-in closet and a secret closet behind a bookshelf provide generous storage space for the largest of wardrobes and the windowed, en suite bath has been superbly renovated with a large walk-in rain shower and the finest fixtures and finishes.

Other features of this tastefully appointed apartment include a multi-zoned, central air-conditioning system, recessed lighting, abundant closet space, a fireplace, solid reclaimed wood floors, and a sound system with built-in speakers.
