True Duplex penthouse condominiums (no one living above you) are rare; there are currently only twelve listed. Not only is this the least expensive, but the average cost of the other eleven is almost double that of this listing. This is not because this one is a slouch—quite the opposite.

To begin with, it boasts the best view of all, but there is much more to it. At two thousand five hundred square feet, this true penthouse features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an oversized Direct Living terrace, making it an ideal home. The lower floor is entirely dedicated to public spaces, while the upper level is reserved for private areas, seamlessly connected by a windowed staircase.

The key-locked elevators open on the lower floor with the public spaces, so let us begin here.
You first notice the clever flow created by opening the wall between the foyer and the kitchen, which improved both rooms. The vestibule is now a bright area with ingenious storage spaces and display shelves, ensuring that this often-forgotten spot is fully integrated. It even has a full bathroom on the north end. This bathroom's noteworthy feature is a windowed shower. (Do not worry; no neighboring building is high enough.)

The living spaces on the south side of the gallery are striking, showcasing panoramic views (no hyperbole here). However, they need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated because the ten-plus feet ceiling height, full-height glass on three sides, and a slant on the east side make the room appear smaller in pictures. Nonetheless, the floor plan does not deceive; at seventeen by thirty-two feet, this is a very large room.

One standout feature of this penthouse is the perfectly proportioned Direct Living terrace. With its almost square layout, this terrace is ideal for entertaining. Offering nearly three hundred degrees of unobstructed views, there are so much to admire and with no building in the way to the north; your view of midtown is among the best I have ever seen.

The kitchen is a study in clever design. It is a very practical space with stunning views, plenty of storage space and commercial-grade appliances—truly a chef's dream. The aforementioned opening to the vestibule makes the kitchen feel much larger and creates a super cool dining counter. The low storage cabinets on the slanted east wall are so clever that you can see the next owner continuing them everywhere this wall is exposed.

Up through windowed staircase are two bedrooms each featuring an ensuite bathroom. The smaller bedroom has a wall of windows facing east offering perfect sunrise views framed by Williamsburg Bridge which are quite unique.The primary bedroom suite includes walk-in closet five-fixture bathroom and three exposures.Despite airy feel these windows provide privacy ensured throughout with no building within reach on your elevation.
