Revel in luxury, privacy and serenity, as if you've escaped to a charming French chateau in the heart of Manhattan! This exquisitely-designed, European-inspired 1-BR, 2-bath duplex penthouse converted from its original 2-BR design is truly a unique home that offers sweeping city and river views, plus premium outdoor space creating a world all your own. Its distinctive prewar appeal, brought to life by the richness of century-old oak wood floors and the sophistication of a working fireplace, is complemented by such modern refinements as a state-of-the-art kitchen, polished nickel fixtures, a hallway of outfitted closets, independently-controlled air conditioning, and state-of-the-art Bang and Olufsen wiring for surround sound. Natural light and spectacular panoramas surround you thanks to west, north and east exposures and two walls of double-height casement windows in the living room with soaring 17.5-foot ceilings. Most exceptional is the residence's two private outdoor oases: a 2,600-square-foot terra cotta stoned terrace off the kitchen, with an irrigation system and wiring for electricity, and the tranquil 300-square-foot terrace off the bedroom.
