Indulge your inner gardener without leaving the city in this beautiful penthouse duplexThis Upper West Side penthouse duplex features open, loftlike spaces in a lovingly restored brownstone. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows combine with seven skylights to create a light-drenched home. The apartment's modern design is ideal for entertaining, whether in the lofted chef's kitchen and living area on the main floor, or on the huge double-decker roof garden flanking the master suite. Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the spa-like stone and glass master bathroom to gorgeous wide-plank hardwood floors to ample built-in storage areas and beautiful but energy-conscious lighting. Well-established garden trees and shrubs offer summer fruit harvests and year-round visual interest to augment park and Hudson River views, protected thanks to a newly expanded Historic Preservation District.
