Exquisitely renovated, this sun-drenched duplex penthouse plus additional 1,400 square foot private roof terrace in Flatiron is a masterpiece. The keyed elevator opens directly into the apartment, where a large entry vestibule separates the living area from a grand library with five large arched windows in the historic Flatiron style. This south and east-facing room currently serves as both a library and formal dining room, but there are many design options for this lofty 13 by 25 foot space with unobstructed views of the magnificent rooftops and buildings along lower Fifth Avenue. To the right of the entryway is a welcoming living room with a sleek gas-burning fireplace framed in stone and large south-facing windows. Tucked away is a graceful powder bathroom and antechamber with Waterworks washbasin. Proceeding through the apartment, the kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances (including a wine refrigerator, Subzero fridge and Miele dishwasher) and marble countertops. Across from the dining banquette, through sliding doors, is currently configured as a playroom but could act as a dining room, den or office. Through a doorway separating the public from the private spaces is a full-sized laundry room, a south-facing bedroom and full bathroom. At the end of the hall is the third bedroom (formerly the master bedroom) with a large en suite bathroom and generous walk-in-closet.All three bedrooms have bright southern exposures, and the entertaining spaces have wide-plank oak flooring throughout. All full bathrooms have radiant-floor heating.Ascending from the living room to the second floor by the staircase with blackened steel railing, a sun-drenched sitting room with North, South and Eastern exposures awaits. Off of this landing is the serene master bedroom suite with a home office/dressing room and a spacious master bathroom. The master bath is beautifully outfitted with Calacatta marble walls and vanity, a French limestone floor, and Dornbracht fixtures.From the other side of the upstairs sitting room, walk out onto the apartment's expansive and private magnificent rooftop terrace. This is a quintessential outdoor entertaining space, measuring 53 by 26 and outfitted with two seating areas, a dining area and grill. The rooftop is beautifully landscaped by Gunn Landscape Architecture with thoughtfully planned built-in planters and pots boasting ivy, evergreens, wisteria and trees. There is a multi-zone irrigation system in place with independent timer mechanisms for each zone. The terrace has open views up and down Fifth Avenue and views of the Empire State Building and Met Life Clocktower. The apartment has central air with four designated zones. It is wired for a fully-integrated A/V system with in-the-wall speakers and has three front door monitor controls throughout.
