Property Description for 70 Little West Street, 3-E

Did someone say, "Tree top views!"? Dramatic 11 foot ceiling heights, and expansive north and west facing floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows, provide serene panoramic views of lush greenery and an abundance of natural light. Gazing outside and tracking the seasonal changes of nature's color palette never gets old. And when the leaves are down, you'll be mesmerized by views of the Hudson River. Watching the street life below is like watching tv on mute - total silence.

As in any well-appointed and exquisite home, there is a large and gracious entry hall leading to the spacious and grand loft-like living and dining area adjacent to the open concept kitchen -- perfect for entertaining large parties (or people who just think big).

The custom designed chef's kitchen features bamboo cabinetry, river-washed black granite countertops, gorgeous glass tile backsplash, custom paneled Sub Zero fridge and Asko dishwasher, and a stainless steel Wolf dual convection oven and gas cooktop with a sleek venting range hood. The large island with additional seating and under counter ambient lighting completes this culinary paradise.

A split bedroom layout is ideal for privacy. The primary bedroom suite is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed with an ensuite spa-like limestone and glass mosaic bathroom including a deep soaking jacuzzi tub and a separate glass enclosed shower.

The additional bedroom, also large enough for a queen or king-sized bed, is perfect as a guest bedroom or home office and is conveniently located next to the elegant second full bath. There are ample closets, wide plank oak flooring and recessed lighting throughout, as well as a WASHER and DRYER in the home, motorized window treatments, and a two-zoned central heating and cooling system.

Designed by world-renowned architects Pelli Clark and completed in 2008, the Visionaire is the first LEED Platinum certified "Green'' condominium in Manhattan, considered the most "Green" building in the US at the time. There are amenities galore in this full service building, including 24-hour doorman and concierge; live-in resident manager; skylit heated pool with hot tub and a lavish landscaped rooftop garden with sweeping views of the Hudson River. You will love the cabanas, built-in grills, wet bar, and tables and chairs for lounging; a fully equipped, attended state-of-the-art fitness center complete with yoga studio, classes, and spa with sauna, steam room and massage rooms; a children's playroom; and a lounge with a gas fireplace, pool table, and separate rooms for movie screenings or private catered events; a common laundry room, bicycle storage, and a 24-hour valet parking garage available for a fee.

The building's location in Battery Park City situated at the cusp of the The World Trade Center between the Financial District and the Hudson River, is an urban oasis in one of Manhattan's most desirable residential neighborhoods. There is easy access to the esplanade along the Hudson, acres of green parks and outdoor recreational facilities, as well as shopping and cultural institutions including, the shops at Brookefield Place, the Oculus, the Holocaust Museum, and world class restuarants. Transportation is effortless with multiple subway and PATH lines at the WTC Transportation Hub, along with NYC ferries on the waterfront, putting you minutes from everywhere.

Battery Park City | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Battery Park City (BPC) sits on the edge of the Hudson River and stretches from Bowling Green to the south and Tribeca to the north. It is essentially a waterfront community without the beach (well, maybe a small one) and its residents bask in the joy of residing and playing along the great waterway. Majestic views of sunsets over New Jersey, the Statue of Liberty to the south and One World Trade Center to the north offer unparalleled settings.  

BPC is a fabulous place to live for people of all ages. It is a planned community that offers a mix of commercial and residential offerings as well as a retail mall, a movie theatre, a marina and acres of open space, ballfields, playgrounds, bike paths and walkways. Walk out your door and throw a frisbee, day sail into the harbor, take in a little league game or even try beach volleyball at Pier 25.  

There is also a host of cultural offerings not to be missed. Public displays of art and sculpture are scattered throughout the neighborhood while two larger offerings, The Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Irish Hunger Memorial which require extended visits and moments of reflection. 

Today, BPC sits as one of the great triumphs of urban planning. Built on landfill from the World Trade Center site, the community covers 92 acres along the Hudson River to the west of the West Side Highway. In sum, there are more than 30 residential buildings and seven commercial properties, the revitalized Brookfield Place (formerly the World Financial Center) and 200 West Street, the state-of-the-art home of Goldman Sachs.

Today, BPC flourishes like no time in its fifty-year history. In a sense, the planned community has come to full fruition. It’s a great place to raise a family or to be an athletically active single. The neighborhood is one of the safest in NYC and certainly the cleanest. Vehicular traffic is at a minimum and many people cross West Street to get to work. There are five pedestrian bridges that span the highway to connect BPC with the Financial District as well as a tunnel that crosses from the Brookfield Mall to the WTC site. The newest bridge, at West Thames Street, replaced the former Rector Street crossing, which was damaged during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  

The new ownership of the old World Financial Center has revitalized these rather sterile granite buildings. The updated design of this upscale mall welcomes visitors, particularly tourists, from the WTC site.

Yet despite the idyllic nature of BPC, the neighborhood has endured a series of setbacks over the years. The area was blanketed with ash from the collapse of the twin towers. Many residents left and never returned. Hurricane Sandy slammed the neighborhood and caused severe damage. Another random terrorist attack killed several people along the bikeway that runs along West Street.
