40 East 21st Street, #PH

Manhattan, NY 10010

This gorgeous penthouse loft on the 11th floor of a coveted boutique co-op, with a 12th floor private roof deck perched above, sets the standard of luxury living. A key-locked elevator opens directly into the expansive floor-through residence, which is currently configured as a two-bedroom but can easily accommodate the addition of another bedroom or two if desired. Brightened by large windows on four exposures, interiors are beautifully designed and finely renovated, enriched by exposed brick, solid oak hardwood floors, custom doors, chic color tones, built-in bookcases, and other thoughtful features. Recent enhancements heighten the allure and include newer kitchen appliances, a new master bath and updated roof deck, both done in 2020.

A generous open living and dining space with airy 11' ceilings, a wall of northern windows, plus windows facing east and west is perfect for entertaining (even piano soirees!), blending warmth with a chic industrial, contemporary feel. Or take the party to the spacious rooftop where you can enjoy lounging, cocktail parties, al fresco dining, and amazing vistas of the city including direct views of the Empire State and Met Life Buildings. The gourmet in you will be inspired in the stunning, modern windowed chef's kitchen appointed with top-of-the-line appliances (Viking stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher). Down the hall await the quiet sleeping quarters, including the master bedroom suite nestled on the south side with corner exposures, a huge walk-in closet, and impeccably-finished en-suite bath. Nearby is a guest bedroom, home office, second lovely windowed bathroom, and laundry/storage room. There's also central air. And if you love the furnishings, the seller would consider including it all!

40 East 21st Street is an intimate prewar cooperative with private storage that comes with each unit. The location is outstanding, moments to Madison Square Park and some of the city's best shops and restaurants. Also nearby is Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the famous weekly farmer's market at Union Square, as well as the 6, N & R subway station under a block away.
