Description

Sun-Filled Duplex Penthouse Loft on a prime Fifth Avenue block in Flatiron District with a private roof garden.

Super Low Monthly Maintenance Fee !

This expansive duplex home with a mezzanine level and roof garden is a rare find and exceptional value in one of the most desired neighborhoods in Manhattan. Enter the premises along a dramatic foyer opening into a double-height reception area filled with gallery-quality natural light permeating through oversized wall to wall windows on the upper level and in the living room.To the left is the grand 40’ x 23’ living / entertainment area featuring an angled original brick wood-burning fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. The recently renovated open kitchen boasts state-of-the-art Miele appliances with a Quartzite backsplash and Caesarstone countertops.

The large separate dining area, comfortably accommodates 12-person seating, runs along the original exposed brick wall. To the right is a spacious den / bedroom with submarine-inspired windows letting in ample light whilst maintaining a cozy ambience, perfect as a nursery, children’s playroom or home office. Walking further in, find the generously-proportioned second bedroom with a deep walk-in closet and a juliet balcony.

On the upper level is the master bedroom with large triangular windows overlooking the roof garden.

It has a built-in home office and a large en suite master bath oasis.
The seamlessly integrated master bathroom has a spa-like atmosphere with a skylight. It is a true relaxation space, large enough to be used as a private yoga / meditation room. It enshrines a whirlpool jacuzzi tub, twin pedestal sinks, a separate enclosed toilette and an open shower surrounded by a beautiful masonry glass block wall.

Walk across the sky-bridge that overlooks the living area and to the private roof garden, one of the very few on the market. Recently renovated with concrete tiles and a weather proof system, the roof garden is ready to be enjoyed under the open sky.
