staged within an inch of its life, but the bones justify the effort. this direct living terrace opens to a proper skyline panorama, downtown stacked against the horizon like someone arranged it on purpose. the mature planters create natural screening, which helps given the neighboring sightlines. room for a dinner party of eight and a separate conversation corner, all without bumping elbows. west exposure means golden hour earns its name here.
About
one of downtown manhattans most exceptional full-floor penthouses, offering over 2,750 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor living highlighted by a fully landscaped 1,500+ square foot private rooftop with commanding 360-degree skyline views, direct elevator access, and a fully renovated full-floor residence below. complete with a deeded private parking space, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most significant private rooftop terraces in downtown manhattan. a key-locked elevator opens directly into a recently renovated home that showcases soaring 13-foot ceilings, exposed steel columns, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light. four exposures capture breathtaking views stretching from the freedom tower and downtown manhattan to the chrysler building, hudson yards and spectacular sunrise to sunset experiences. the expansive great room is framed by iconic city views and another terrace with open south and west exposures. the space is just steps away from the renovated chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, miele appliances, including an integrated wine fridge and an eat-in bar counter with western facing windows that provide a stunning backdrop while cooking. perfectly situated on the other side of the floor, the expansive primary suite is a peaceful retreat featuring wide open views east and north towards the empire state building. the double height ceilings and architectural beams create a vibe that has both drama and warmth. the ensuite bathroom features big slabs of marble, a doublewide rain shower, a floating vanity and a north facing window. the second bedroom and bathroom are just steps away from one another and enhance this full floor opportunity for someone to quickly and easily call home. crowning the residence is an expansive private rooftop terrace spanning over 1,500 square feet, offering spectacular 360-degree views of manhattan. the entire space is landscaped with lush greenery, full irrigation, lighting and also has direct elevator access to make hosting as easy as can be. views like this do not come up often and if you like an ever changing portrait of new york city, this is your opportunity to watch the city thrive from above. additional features include white oak floors, an in-unit washer and dryer, abundant storage key-locked elevator access, a deeded private parking space and the convenience of a part time doorman building with a gated entrance, common swimming pools for the building and a secondary butterfly intercom security system. one street away from the bowery hotel and amazing hotspots like zero bond, the nines, bond street sushi, los tacos no. 1, pura vida, this bowl, plus shopping at kith, walking distance to soho and washington square park, plus multiple subway lines. additional listing notes: there is an additional $273 a month fee for the private parking spot. note that the current taxes reflect the coop/condo full time resident abatement incentive of $7,443 annually.
fourteen feet of width through floor-to-ceiling glass, which means the terrace reads as part of the living room even before you step out. west-facing with city skyline views, planters already greening up the edges. some neighbor sightlines, sure, but 485 square feet absorbs that easily. dinner for eight works here.

Expert Opinion:
seven feet of width is the honest limit for a living level terrace, and this one sits right at that threshold. the brick parapet and flowering planter box do the heavy lifting, creating a corner that actually feels furnished rather than staged. west-facing neighbors have a clear sightline in, so this is coffee for two rather than anything requiring real privacy. the condition is solid, the scale is intimate, the expectations should match.

Expert Opinion:
to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

too narrow to get much use, but the view is pretty epic, so you may just want to walk out every one in a while.

Expert Opinion:
multiple terraces with great practicality and excellent views. they thing that makes a terrace this elevated still practical is the protection it gets from the building.
