This spectacular, perfectly renovated and light-filled penthouse loft is the epitome of elegant downtown living. Expertly blending the 19th century industrial qualities of Soho's best cast-iron architecture with a warm material palette, this luxurious home has phenomenal volume for indoor and outdoor entertaining on a grand scale, yet is private and cozy for day-to-day life. Spread over 3 levels, this amazing townhouse in the sky boasts 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 landscaped terraces, and a reflecting pool. The key-locked elevator opens to a sun-filled entry hall lined with a wall of glass and steel casement doors, 3 oversized windows, a large skylight, soaring ceilings of just under 19 ft, and a jaw-dropping vertical indoor garden. The amazing and lush green plantings soar from the tiled floor all the way to the skylight at the ceiling. The casement doors open into a perfectly proportioned living room, also boasting double-height 19' ceilings and another skylight. A folding wall of shou sugi ban (flame-charred) wood, reclaimed from the roof, creates a partition for the gracious wood-beamed dining room, with room to seat 24. Beyond the dining room, an enormous kitchen is truly a chef's dream. Top-of-the-line appliances include a commercial grade Traulsen refrigerator, BlueStar gas range with French Top, and integrated Bosch dishwasher. An immense casement window overlooks a reflecting pool and the first of three landscaped terraces. The kitchen is complete with stone countertops, subway tile backsplash, a 1930s Monel sink, hemlock wood cabinetry, and a large zinc-topped kitchen island. Adjoining the kitchen is a windowed laundry room with washer and dryer, utility sink, and an additional refrigerator. A charming guest powder room is perfectly located off the stair hall. A magnificent custom-fabricated steel staircase soars up the 3-story atrium between the kitchen and dining room to an enormous skylight. With imbedded glass discs in each stair tread, recalling the charming sidewalks suspended over some of Soho's oldest buildings' sidewalk vaults, the staircase floods the center of the loft with light. The master suite spans most of the 2nd floor. Featuring linen paneled walls and a linen canopy ceiling, the romantic master bedchamber is lined with casement doors that lead out to one of the most beautiful landscaped terraces in all of Manhattan. The terrace is clad in wood decking, with trees, grasses, and mature plantings everywhere the eye looks. A perfect and very private outdoor shower is just outside the en-suite, marble-clad master bath. With a deep copper soaking tub with a heated base, radiant heated floors, and a marble and glass walk-in steam shower also opens through a frosted glass door to the matching guest bath off the common stair-hall. Returning to the stair landing, a large study on the mezzanine overlooks the living room. The study's storage wall contains a "secret" walk in closet with a projector that drops via an electrically operated platform to screen films on the living room wall below. The 3rd floor holds two charming guest bedrooms that can be used as one suite or partitioned by swinging a movable wall into place. There is a full guest bath with a unique, round copper soaking tub. Opposite the bedrooms, a beautiful rooftop conservatory is outfitted with an entertaining kitchen. The conservatory opens out to the third landscaped terrace. This apartment is turn-key, complete with multi-zone central A/C, wide-plank hardwood floors, and a Sonos sound system. With thoughtful touches throughout, including the recurring use of steel and glass doors and windows and a dumbwaiter serving each of the floors, this is truly a one-of-a-kind home. Built in 1869, 12 Greene Street is a boutique co-op with five floor-through units. The building features a key-locked elevator and a video intercom system. A large enclosed storage unit with wine racks and shelving conveys with the apartment.
