Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
A wraparound terrace of over 970 square feet wraps this 17th-floor penthouse and opens from the living room, the primary bedroom, the primary bath and a secondary bedroom.
With that many doorways onto one outdoor space, it works as an extension of the main rooms rather than a spot you step out to now and then. The terrace reaches the bedrooms too. The primary suite gets its own way out, which matters on a morning when you want the air before anything else. It also opens directly off the great room, so it's a natural place to spill into when you're hosting, and I think that's the detail that makes the layout work.
The great room gets a lot of light. Its 11-foot floor-to-ceiling glass walls face south and west, and the primary bedroom has south and east exposures. A south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 10 hours around the equinoxes, though nearby buildings can block some of that.
Cooking happens in an updated open kitchen that sits off the great room. A breakfast bar island seats four, and the appliances include double Miele dishwashers and a Gaggenau refrigerator. The openness keeps the cook in the conversation, though it means less separation between cooking and everything else.
Laundry stays inside, since the washer and dryer are in the unit.
Designed by Charles Gwathmey and Robert Siegel, the building was completed in 2004 and has 22 stories and 39 units. It offers a concierge, valet parking, a health club, a courtyard, storage space and a package room. A key-locked elevator opens directly into the penthouse, which is a practical point for moving furniture or groceries.
Astor Pl station on the 6 is about a minute away on foot, and 8 St-NYU for the R and W is about 2 minutes. Wegmans is about 2 minutes away, and Washington Square Park is about 6 minutes.
