One of the most impressive homes in Williamsburg awaits! This impeccably designed two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom penthouse impresses with flawless interiors, garage parking, and a remarkable terrace wrapped in unrivaled, unimpeded high-floor views.
Keyed elevator access welcomes you inside this breathtaking full-floor residence, where ceilings soar 12 feet high over hardwood floors and walls of windows on all four exposures. Situated atop the tallest allowable building in this section of Williamsburg, the 2,144-square-foot penthouse is flooded with peerless 360-degree views stretching across Brooklyn to the Williamsburg Bridge, East River and iconic Manhattan skyline.
A grand entry gallery lined with several large closets ushers you to the magnificent 37-foot-wide great room, where astonishing views, designer lighting, built-in cabinetry and a wet bar set the stage for lavish large-scale entertaining or comfortable relaxation. A convenient powder room is situated alongside the astounding living spaces, while Sonos speakers and motorized blinds create the perfect ambiance at the touch of a button. In the gourmet kitchen, custom cabinetry is trimmed with Carrara marble countertops, Waterworks tile backsplashes and a 36-inch Franke sink. The custom breakfast table is perfect for casual dining, and chefs will adore the upscale appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, Bosch dishwasher and 48-bottle Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. Outside, the 725-square-foot terrace invites you to bask in jaw-dropping vistas from sunrise to sunset thanks to its sun-drenched eastern, western and southern exposures.
This home's luxurious accommodations are located in a separate wing for optimal peace and privacy. The exquisite owner's suite boasts northern and western outlooks anchored by the Empire State Building. The king-size layout opens to an enviable 16-foot-long custom walk-in closet, while the oversized en suite spa bathroom boasts a custom vanity, beautiful black and white tile, and a wet room-style walk-in shower with a Waterworks soaking tub. The secondary suite includes built-in storage, a large dressing room and an equally well-appointed en suite bathroom. A laundry closet with an in-unit washer-dryer completes the thoughtful layout.
Currently configured with two bedrooms, this expansive home could easily accommodate the addition of a third bedroom or home office. See alternate floorplan.
