Description

Sitting atop The Portsmouth is Apartment 23, a rambling, elegant two-bedroom, two-bathroom PENTHOUSE with a large, windowed office that could be a third bedroom. Its triple exposures feature quintessential New York City views, incredible closet space, and 10-foot ceilings.

Overlooking picturesque W. 9th Street and beyond, the three north-facing windows in the living room offer a green and serene panorama.

The wood-burning fireplace is adorned within an intricate mantle and flanked by built-in bookshelves.

Flowing into the living room through wooden pocket doors, the windowed chef's kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas Wolf range, and Miele dishwasher.

As you stroll to the Southern wing of the residence, you are greeted with an oversized laundry room with ample storage space and a washer and dryer that vents to the outside.

Perfectly separated from the living space are the sleeping quarters. The primary suite features a decorative fireplace with an elaborate mantle positioned between two windows filled with afternoon sun. The office - or third bedroom - has sprawling downtown views through French-door windows.

The Portsmouth was constructed by Ralph Townsend in the 1800s.

It is a rare, boutique pre-war coop on the coveted Gold Coast in the Village. Consisting of three buildings, a full-time doorman and a full-time superintendent, The Portsmouth is a Village dream. The building welcomes pets and allows co-purchasers and pieds-à-terre.
