A penthouse in NoHo's 7 Bond Street just hit the market with an asking price of $14.5 million. The apartment (Unit PHAB) recently had the honor of being featured in Architectural Digest for its healthy-living and eco-friendly design. A four-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse, it spans a more-than-generous 3,067 square feet, and has an additional 1,200 square feet of outdoor space.
The residence underwent a gut renovation by acclaimed designer James Huniford, Feng Shui master Dee Kelly and Building-Biology consultant Matthew Waletzke, and has been transformed into a downtown sanctuary. It features naturally-sourced and reclaimed materials and modern amenities, like a top air and water filtration system, which help create a one-of-a-kind home with a commitment to sustainability.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a sculptural spiral staircase made of concrete and steel. A sun-lit, open living room follows that has 14-foot ceilings with both southern and eastern exposures, dark zebrawood floors, and reclaimed wood elements from a Vermont barn. The design of the rustic eat-in kitchen also utilizes reclaimed wood, has custom cabinetry and granite countertops, and features repurposed metal cabinet doors salvaged from a 19th Century Tribeca factory - and of course, high-end appliances.
The use of reclaimed wood continuous in a spacious dining room that has sliding doors concealing a standing desk, allowing the room to double as an office. A truly unique space is the glass-enclosed family room with a drop-down flat-screen television, and is arguably the best hideaway in the residence because of its live-plant wall. The water filtration system within the wall keeps the plants thriving, and gives a whole new meaning to indoor gardening. The space can be easily transformed by integrating the connected terrace. The terrace is fully equipped for entertaining with built-in speakers, mood lighting, and an irrigation system.
Two of the bedrooms have roomy closets with reclaimed sliding barn doors, and a third features an exposed brick wall, a private loft space, a dressing room and a full en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom suite has four closets, a dressing room and a spa-like bathroom with natural stone vessel dual-vanity sinks, a travertine-floored shower and a bath area with a gorgeous freestanding E-Legno carved cedar wood tub. The bathrooms are sure to invoke a sense of country-living for its penthouse residents.
This home is all about relaxation. Due to stress levels caused by RF/EMF levels, the residence underwent alterations to shield outside disturbances. Each window and exterior wall was treated to reduce noise within the home by a whopping 98%. Other features of the home include WiFi control (via tablet/smartphone or a wall system), extensive water filtration systems, a security system, and an air filtration system to improve air quality by 50% compared to outside. The residence is the epitome of modern, eco-friendly living. Read more from the listing here.
