161 Hudson Street, 9A/8B

Located in the heart of Tribeca this exquisite Monique Gibson-designed and mint-move-in light-flooded duplex corner Penthouse with private terrace, roof deck and panoramic views blends the grandeur of loft living with apartment practicality.

Enter through a welcoming foyer entry gallery that leads you past steel and glass french doors that open into an enormous corner living room, over 37 feet in length with 8 over-sized windows that flood this room with light, several of them facing St. John's Park. This room boasts a wall of expertly crafted shelves and storage and references its industrial past with exposed columns and beams. A large open kitchen with a pantry has been expertly equipped with a grand counter as a focal point. An adjoining media room creates a cozy enclave. This is the more formal wing of this townhouse-sized apartment and perfectly suited for elegant entertaining. Off the foyer is a hallway that contains a powder room, coat closet, large storage room and a full bedroom suite facing the park.

A stairway allows you to ascend to the second level that embraces a distinctly more relaxed flavor. A perfectly proportioned recreation/casual living room with an adjoining study, dining area/fifth bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette all lead to the dreamy landscaped terrace, perfectly suited to daily living and more casual entertaining. This level is also accessible via the elevator and a separate entry hallway. The lavishly scaled master bedroom suite comprises a bedroom and a light-filled en-suite bathroom with two enormous walk-in closets. There are two additional bedroom suites surrounding a library with a large skylight and a superbly equipped laundry room with twin washer/dryers and an abundance of storage. An additional stairway leads you up to the rooftop observation terrace that boasts superb views and is the perfect perch for an urban farm.

Conveniently located in the heart of prime Tribeca, moments from all public transportation, restaurants, entertainment and amenities including the Hudson River Park, and in close proximity to Soho and the spectacular evolution of Downtown Manhattan, this penthouse truly has it all: an abundance of space and storage, views, light, location, A-grade finishes and design, all housed in a discrete, quality, boutique-sized condominium with a part-time doorman (8am-8pm M-F, 11am-8pm on weekends)
