First Time Available for Sale! Welcome to Penthouse 16: This meticulously designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom co-op in the heart of the East Village offers luxury, comfort, and modern style. Designed by Leyden Lewis Design Studio, an Architectural Digest 100 designer, the apartment blends green construction standards with high-end amenities. Comprising what were 4 separate apartments, this 1400sf duplex residence features a dramatic floating stairway, 13-foot ceilings, a huge central skylight, wood-burning fireplace, integrated zoned sound system, central air, and sound-cancelling tilt-and-turn windows. Reclaimed maple floorboards were salvaged from a warehouse upstate. The wood for the custom bathroom vanities comes from trees in the Central Catskills: Walnut and Butternut. The custom chefs kitchen includes Italian Paonazzo marble counters, beautiful custom-fabricated steel cabinets, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a Bosch stove/oven with vented hood. A huge sun-drenched living room with southern exposure overlooks a private park. The dining room, a bedroom, and a full bath with Toto soaking tub complete the first floor. As you ascend the leather-clad steps to the second floor, you enter a spacious media lounge/home office with a wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and leads to a gracious, windowed bathroom with glass tiles, textured schist volcanic-stone floors, and a spa-style steam shower. The apartment has a washer/dryer in-unit and private deep storage space with access from the public hallway.
