201 East 23rd Street, 16-A

A corner three-bedroom at The Willow, wrapped in a rare 512-square-foot private terrace above Gramercy.

RESIDENCE 16A: An extraordinary corner home with a true wraparound terrace, a feature held by only a select few homes in the building, penthouses included. 16A is the kind of home that rarely reaches the rental market.
Occupying the building's south and west corner, this 1,891 square foot home is composed around light and air, with a wraparound terrace spanning two sections: one run of over 34 feet, extending past the living room and third bedroom, and a second stretch along the kitchen, extending the floor plan into a true outdoor retreat.

The plan unfolds with intention. A proper entry foyer establishes a sense of arrival before delivering a dramatic reveal of the living and dining space beyond, stretching nearly 24 feet in length and opening directly onto the terrace, a threshold that dissolves the line between interior and outdoor living.

The kitchen is open to the living volume yet set back within it, preserving the room's proportions while remaining connected to the flow of the home. Rockwell Group's residential palette is understated and refined: light oak, soft gray quartz, and fluted detailing, with honed counters and backsplash, custom millwork cabinetry with polished nickel hardware and dark nickel accents, and a full Miele suite with integrated wine refrigeration.

The primary bedroom is a private sanctuary, anchored by two walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bath with a double vanity. The second and third bedrooms, each generously proportioned, offer their own en-suite bathrooms, providing comfort and privacy for family or guests. A sophisticated powder room near the entry and a full-size washer and dryer complete this exceptional residence.
Developed by Naftali Group, The Willow is a boutique-scale building of quiet sophistication, standing where Gramercy's charm meets the energy of Flatiron and NoMad amid historic townhouses, tree-lined blocks, and some of the city's most celebrated restaurants and cultural institutions. Its hand-laid red brick facade by COOKFOX Architects draws on the masonry tradition of the neighborhood, with arched bays and oversized windows that give the facade a rhythm both rooted and contemporary.

Within, Rockwell Group has composed the interiors with a layered, cinematic sensibility. Spaces feel intimate, evocative, and carefully lit, built from materials chosen for warmth and craft: travertine and bronze, velvet and hand-glazed tile. Arrival sets the tone, as the lobby's textile walls, light oak millwork, and custom marble floor frame a view through the glazed library to the landscaped Courtyard Garden beyond. The amenities carry the same quiet drama: an intimate speakeasy, a walnut-wrapped music lounge with recording studio, a cinema with the adjacent Mermaid Room for gathering, and a fitness center with cedar-clad sauna and spa. The Rooftop Terrace crowns the building with a bar, grilling stations, and dining and lounge areas set against panoramic city views. A Children's Playroom and a lobby attended by a 24-hour doorman complete the offering.
