celebrity penthouse in the sky. a rarely found quad-plex penthouse, let alone found in a 24h doorman building, is freshly new to market in the enviable silk building. it is no wonder that major celebrities have chosen this apartment as their historic home, and it is now ready for its lucky new owner. entered via elevator on any of the four levels, the home truly lays out like a private townhome, but with jetliner views north over the village and beyond. there are currently four bedrooms and four and a half baths, but the home could easily be a five bedroom, too. the main level is an open plan with soaring ceiling heights of approximately twelve feet. there is an enormous living/dining room complete with wood-burning fireplace, and a large chef's kitchen complete with appliances by sub zero, kitchenaid and viking. a large central island is the perfect gathering place for casual meals. a powder room allows for easy entertaining. also on this level is a full-sized, vented, laundry room with slop sink. up one level is the top-level den and outdoor terrace, which spreads over approximately 400 feet on the exterior. there is a full bath on the top level and space for a game room, tv area, or another bedroom. the terrace has views of the empire state building and gorgeous sunsets. there are two lower levels of bedrooms, each currently with two bedrooms. all bedrooms are large in size with custom closets and separate zones of air conditioning. the lowest level has two en-suite bedrooms with bathrooms that have been fully renovated within the past year. the master suite is enormous, with a wood burning fireplace, incredible amount of closet space, and a wet bar. the en-suite, five piece primary bath is clad in italian marble and tasos flooring, with stunning bookmatching. the fixtures are all by kohler. located at the perfect nexus of downtown, in the center of noho, and a stone's throw from the prime village, soho, and astor place, the silk building is one of the only full-service loft conversion buildings in the area. built in 1908, the building has 55 residences and a 24 hour doorman/concierge. tenants in place.

Expert Opinion:
excellent use of the different outdoor spaces. the narrower spaces are expertly used primarily to give the great view from the inside, while the wider spaces are used for outdoor enjoyment.
