New York City has a stretch called ‘Billionaire’s Row’ in Midtown, characterized by soaring skyscrapers with swanky residences. But, that’s definitely not the only area where you’ll find sky-high prices. There’s a new penthouse of the same grandeur on the market, but it’s found downtown in the historically fashionable and artistic SoHo neighborhood. Occupying the top four levels of a 1915 cast-iron building, the unique penthouse has come to market asking a jaw-dropping $45 million.
The penthouse has been renovated by two top designers to get to what you see today. It was originally designed by Gachot Studios, who gave the unit new life. Designer Axel Vervoordt later reimagined it further. A timeless palette adorns the spaces, with sleek black accents and beautiful light fixtures bouncing off the light wood floors and ivory walls.
The gourmet kitchen especially dazzles within the 6,800-square-foot penthouse, lined with polished cabinetry, centered by a patinaed metal island, and open to a tailored yet groovy breakfast nook. Just steps away, the home’s massive living and dining area spans over half the level, making this the clear heart of the home for everyday living and special hosting. When the temperatures allow, the rooftop terrace level is another ideal spot for parties with the city lights sparkling around you. There’s 2,841 square feet of private outdoor space in total, including a custom sauna for sweating out stress and a full outdoor kitchen.
It wouldn’t be a luxury penthouse if the primary suite didn’t deliver the royal treatment. It unfolds over an entire floor, flanked by two terraces on either side. It boasts a dressing room, media room, and walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite outfitted in Barber Wilsons fixtures and a ThermaSol steam shower. The lowest level holds the additional two bedrooms, and could even serve as a guest unit since it has a kitchen and elegant library lounge, too.
With SoHo boasting store locations for some of the most exclusive global brands, from Prada to Miu Miu, it’s no shock that the posh neighborhood holds fashionable and pricey homes as well. Clayton Orrigo and Stephen Ferrara of The Hudson Advisory Team at Compass represent this Greene Street listing for a buyer with very deep pockets.
