Property Description

The ultimate in privacy and luxury awaits you as you enter this expansive terraced three-bedroom, three-bathroom sun-drenched penthouse duplex. The architecturally significant home is wrapped in not one, but two incredible terraces and the stunning City views surround the home no matter the time of day or season of the year. One enters the home from your very own private landing. The sprawling upper floor encompasses the main living space of the apartment; the large living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, high beamed ceilings, and two entrances to the south facing terrace. The formal dining room with its own wood-burning fireplace sits on the opposite side of the home and has entrance to the enormous northern facing terrace: the perfect landscape for dining al fresco, entertaining on a grand scale, creating a garden paradise, or simply enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening stargazing. The adjacent eat-in windowed chef's kitchen is replete with stainless steel counter tops, loads of cabinets, appliances by Samsung and Subzero, and a stacked Frigidaire washer/dryer. The primary bedroom suit is tucked away in its own wing and has two large custom-fitted closets and a sumptuous five-piece marble bath with oversized jacuzzi tub. Completing the upper floor is an additional den or library. The lower-level of the home comprises two sizable guest rooms and a large jack-and-jill designer bathroom. Both bedrooms are sun-flooded from southern exposures and have wonderful closet space. Additionally, there is a separate wine closet and an entrance to the lower bedroom wing from the elevator landing. Redwood and hardwood floors throughout, thru-wall AC, several custom closets including an oversized walk-in, tasteful built-ins, and unique skylights throughout complete this rare offering.
