145 Hudson Street, PH

Breathtaking design and contemporary luxury are artfully embodied in this masterful 7,500 square foot 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath Tribeca Penthouse with a 4,500 SF wraparound terrace. Encompassing the top two floors of the famed Sky Lofts Condominium, this one-of-a-kind home, created by NY architect James Carpenter (designer of 7 World Trade Center) is built for someone who loves abundant natural light yet is mindful of preserving fine art and furnishings, as it is sheathed in UV coated high-performance, museum-quality insulated glass. Park your car in one of the three private dedicated parking spots that come with owning this special penthouse and enter via private key-locked elevator to find the brilliantly illuminated double-height south-facing great room with 18-ft ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows which frame a direct view of the Freedom Tower, and a two-story cherry wood hearth with a wood burning fireplace (one of three in this residence).

Oversized glass sliding doors flow like moving walls and open from all rooms on this level to the incomparable, fully irrigated private outdoor area. The terrace features a state-of-the-art stainless steel kitchen, a hot tub (which doubles as an endless lap pool), outdoor shower, and an inviting teak decked dining area right off of the kitchen and dining room. Pin-drop quiet, the envelope of this incredible Penthouse was designed to bring the spectacular panoramas of downtown New York inside, including sweeping views of the Hudson River, Freedom Tower, Empire State Building, and much more.

Venturing inside the home, the top-of-the-line eat-in chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium finishes and fixtures including custom white lacquer cabinets, bluestone counters, and professional-grade appliances. Also on this level is a den with the second wood burning fireplace, spacious dining room, double height library and the fourth bedroom.

A sculptural steel and glass elliptical staircase is one of two grand stairways that connect the entertaining floor and wrap-around terrace to the very private bedroom suites on the second level. All bedrooms have luxurious en-suite bathrooms, large closets, and spectacular views. The master bedroom, with corner exposures and the third wood burning fireplace, is the ultimate retreat. Directly facing the Hudson River and offering additional sweeping city views to the north, it is complete with a spa-like honey colored onyx bathroom with terrazzo floors, a steam shower, Jacuzzi and sauna, and two deep walk-in closets.

Throughout this amazing home you will find hand troweled plaster walls and ceilings, Lutron light and shade systems, museum quality polished concrete and teak hardwood flooring, heated bathroom floors, artwork display lighting, a state-of-the-art high-tech security system, humidification and climate control systems, and a large, vented laundry room.

Built in 1929 as a printing factory and converted to luxury homes in 2000, 145 Hudson is a 17-story 21 unit condominium complete with 24-hour doorman, brand new lobby and shared roof deck. The lower four floors in this architecturally significant building are high-end commercial condominiums, while floors five and above are aptly named 'Sky Lofts' due to their generous layouts, high ceilings and incredible views.
