Imagine your very own castle in the clouds; the iconic Manhattan skyline tucking you in at bedtime and greeting you with the sun each day. This is life at Residence 46E at the magnificent 56 Leonard Street.

This exclusive 4-bedroom apartment (3371 square feet) offers the very best of form and function with 12-foot ceilings and staggering views from every room, as far as the eye can see. Enter from one of two private elevator banks into an ample foyer with large coat closet and elegant powder room. Directly ahead is a 1250+ square foot great room, which boasts a fireplace, wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows, a 435+ square foot terrace, and unobstructed, streaming sunlight from the East River to the Empire State Building across to the Hudson. The indoor and outdoor spaces combine seamlessly to create the ideal home and setting to entertain friends or live your family dream. The open kitchen has Corian countertops, endless cabinet space, Miele double oven (six-burner, with vented hood), dual dishwashers and built-in coffee maker, and Sub-Zero double refrigerator and wine fridge. A large-scale Absolute Black granite kitchen "piano" island perfectly complements the light tones that shine throughout.

The oversized master suite, spanning over 300 square feet itself, boasts sprawling views of southern Manhattan and New York harbor, with a windowed master bathroom of marble and travertine with radiant heated floors and a sumptuous soaking tub. Four expansive closets (including two walk-ins) complete the view inside. Outside awaits your own large private balcony and magnificent sunsets, One World Trade, and ships on the Hudson, the bustling lights of the Financial District. The second and third bedrooms also feature en suite bathrooms, large closets, and southwestern views. The laundry room (complete with fully vented Maytag washer/dryer) is conveniently located across the hall. This is New York living at its finest.

46E has an ideal floor plan, allowing for ultimate flexibility in configuring the fourth bedroom, tucked off to the left of the foyer and great room. With its separate location from the other bedrooms it can be envisioned in multiple ways: media room, office, library, family room, guest room, etc.  This room, approximately 90 square feet, plus outdoor space, offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the view in a number of ways to complete your personal vision of home.

With a dream team of developers and designers—exterior architecture and interior design by Herzog & de Meuron; contracting by Lend Lease; development by Alexico Group—and nestled in central Tribeca, where condominium high-rises of this sort are exceedingly rare, 56 Leonard promises to take its place as a New York icon. The building offers bells-and-whistles service: 24-hour doorman, concierge service, seven elevator banks, and two full floors of amenity space, totaling approximately 17,000 square feet, that feature a 75-foot pool, 25-seat screening room, fitness center, playroom, steam room, sauna, and outdoor sundeck. An original Anish Kapoor sculpture will rest at the building’s base, evoking elegance and sophistication to everyone who passes. Storage unit can be purchased for an additional $75,000. Responsibility for payment of transfer taxes to be discussed. Furniture can be purchased separately if requested. Contact me today for your private tour.
