About This Property
The Most Beautiful Penthouse in the Heart of Greenwich Village!
Perched atop an intimate boutique, doorman condominium, this exceptional full-floor penthouse offers open City views and the ultimate experience of modern downtown living. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects with interiors masterfully curated by acclaimed interior designer Amie Weitzman, this four bedroom residence seamlessly blends refined contemporary design with warm, livable elegance.
Spanning over 3,100 square feet of interior space, with a spectacular 1,360 square-foot private roof terrace, this home defines the best of indoor and outdoor living. The terrace is very private and fully landscaped, irrigated, and equipped with an outdoor kitchen-ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply taking in sweeping views toward Union Square and across downtown Manhattan.
A private elevator opens directly into a grand entrance gallery, leading to expansive corner living and dining areas with 16 grand and oversized windows and nearly 11-foot ceilings. Boasting open views and flooded with natural light from both north and south exposures, these spaces offer an airy, loft-like feel while maintaining a sense of intimacy and sophistication.
The chef's kitchen, custom-designed by Smallbone of Devizes, is both striking and highly functional. It features hand-painted cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, and a dramatic waterfall island. Top-of-the-line Miele appliances include a six-burner gas range, dual ovens, two dishwashers, wine refrigerator, and a generous walk-in pantry-perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining.
Private quarters are thoughtfully separated and equally impressive. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, complete with 2 very large walk in closets and custom built ins. Its spa-like, windowed bathroom features a beautiful walnut double vanity, deep soaking tub, and oversized glass-enclosed shower, finished in exquisite Calacatta and limestone. Additional bedrooms offer open City views and are complemented by beautifully appointed bathrooms.
Additional highlights include wide-plank white oak flooring, multi-zone HVAC, integrated sound wiring, a utility room with vented washer/dryer and sink and abundant storage. Two private storage units transfer with the residence.
116 University Place offers a full-service lifestyle with a doorman and state of the art fitness center, embodying the very best of downtown luxury living!
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
The roof is a full outdoor room here: a 1,360-square-foot terrace, landscaped and irrigated, with an outdoor kitchen. The listing describes it as very private, and on a roof this size that matters. A terrace of this scale can change how the apartment gets used, since dining and entertaining can happen outside without moving everything indoors. Inside, the living and dining areas sit at the corner of the floor, with 16 windows and nearly 11-foot ceilings. Wide-plank white oak flooring runs through the home, and a private elevator opens directly into the entrance gallery, so guests arrive at the apartment itself.
Morris Adjmi Architects designed the building, and Amie Weitzman curated the interiors.
Smallbone of Devizes designed the kitchen to be custom, with hand-painted cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, and a waterfall island. Its cooking setup is built around a six-burner gas range, with two ovens, two dishwashers and a wine refrigerator nearby. Two ovens and two dishwashers help when you're cooking for a crowd, and the walk-in pantry takes the extra stock off the counters.
Four bedrooms sit apart from the living areas. The primary suite has two very large walk-in closets with custom built-ins, plus a windowed bathroom with a walnut double vanity, a deep soaking tub and an oversized glass-enclosed shower, finished in Calacatta and limestone.
A utility room holds a vented washer and dryer with a sink and storage, and two private storage units transfer with the residence. Whole Foods Market is about 2 minutes away on foot, and Union Square Park is about 2 minutes as well. The 14 St-Union Sq station, served by the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W, is about 3 minutes away. The building is a boutique condominium with a doorman and a roof deck, and pets are allowed.
