The Quintessential Penthouse can now be found at Walker Tower -

This singularly unique, duplexed home embraces everything a penthouse should be. As a two- bedroom, three-bath apartment, it is very generously sized with over 2,400 SF. The views are magical, facing both north to the city's famous skyline and west to the river and a nightly show of the setting sun. Then, there is the private terrace with an additional 330 SF and perfectly proportioned for alfresco dining. All of this within the preeminent and architecturally significant Walker Tower.

The living space occupies the first floor, encompassing a great room with floor-to-ceiling casement windows and wood-burning marble fireplace, along with a 10-foot ceiling and entry onto the terrace. It is perfectly designed for truly gracious entertaining, made all the more spectacular with views of the Empire State Building and Hudson Yards.

Beyond the great room is the large chef's kitchen and breakfast alcove, sitting in the northwest corner with views in both directions. Designed with Smallbone cabinetry, the kitchen is well-equipped with top appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Viking induction cooktop, two ovens, a built-in Miele coffee system and marble and limestone countertops. Also on this floor is a full bathroom with striking marble and tile details and a laundry room and utility closet.

The second floor of this home offers privacy and solitude. On the landing, there is a night-owl bar with sink, a microwave and a mini-refrigerator.

The primary bedroom suite offers a large sleeping area enhanced with northern views plus a corner sitting area that also faces west. The ensuite bathroom is one to behold. Whether your gaze falls upon the double-sink vanity highlighted in mirrors, elegant marble and Waterworks fixtures or the extra large steam shower or the free-standing cast-iron bathtub next to views of the Hudson River, this is a striking room in its own right.

The second bedroom is well-proportioned with windows that perfectly frame the Empire State Building. The ensuite bath has beautiful marble details and patterned tiles unique to the room.

In this apartment, special interior design features include French oak herringbone floors with hydronic radiant heating, a quiet fan coil air conditioning system with linear diffusers, a built-in humidification system and a Crestron Home Automation System for audio, lighting, HVAC and electric shade controls.
