Sweeping river views and majestic skyline vistas arrest the eye in this full-floor, nearly 6,000 square foot West Village penthouse. Luxurious living awaits just off the private elevator landing.
Enter a gracious foyer that gives way to a 30-foot-long living room that is complemented by a wood-burning fireplace with a one of a kind mantle and an elegant powder room. For the wine collector, a custom 1,000-bottle sculptural glass wine enclosure graces the living room. Just beyond, and ideal for entertaining, is the corner formal dining room, light-drenched by a bowed wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. There is wide plank wood floor throughout.
With north-eastern views of the Empire State Building, the chef's kitchen has an oversized island/ breakfast bar, two Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, Viking six burner range, and two dishwashers.

The primary en-suite spa-like bath is clad in book matched slabs of Calacatta marble with Waterworks fixtures, and features an elevated claw foot tub, a dramatic oversized walk-in shower for 2 and another full storage closet.

Quick Profile
Known for its high-end shopping on Bleecker Street, the elegant brownstones dating back to colonial times that have been depicted in films and television, the abundance of cafes, and its celebrity residents, the West Village neighborhood is what springs to mind when you think of the essence of New York City. This is a neighborhood where the pace of life is less hurried, and harried, than in other neighborhoods, exuding an understated elegance and naturally beautiful sophistication and charm.
The West Village has something to offer everyone, whether your taste runs to designer goods and trend-setting restaurants, or you are happier browsing thrift stores and whiling away the hours in conversation with friends at a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop. There are public green spaces dotted throughout this neighborhood, where you can stop and commune with nature, or grab a bite to eat from a local deli or cafe and have a picnic. The Hudson River Park offers recreational opportunities and events for all ages.
There is a tradition of bohemian non-conformity attached to the West Village. Even the intimate, tree-lined, and sometimes cobblestoned, streets refuse to conform to the grid layout of the rest of Manhattan. Activism and social consciousness have always been hallmarks of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and accepting of all. You will find artistic venues and experimental theater, together with a broad spectrum of bars, including speakeasies, and restaurants featuring myriad cuisines.
The West Village is primarily residential, conspicuously lacking the high-rise office buildings that characterize other neighborhoods. This lends an air of quiet sophistication during the day. At night, the area becomes more lively, as residents frequent their favorite restaurants, theaters, cafes, and gastropubs. Housing consists of brownstones dating back to the 18th century, low-rise walk-ups, townhouses, artists lofts, and condos in renovated buildings. Newer high-rise residential buildings are cropping up along the Hudson River. Always popular with celebrities and artistic types, the West Village is now attracting families and young professionals in the tech and financial fields.
