Towering over downtown Manhattan, this penthouse in the sky is perched atop the iconic 56 Leonard Street, a pillar of historic Tribeca. The home’s 360 degree views of Manhattan are unrivaled and indescribable. Spanning 6,400 square feet of space and three private terraces, this distinctive residence is the largest floor plate in the building.
Through a private key-locked elevator, enter the 53rd floor where you are welcomed by soaring 14-foot ceilings and walls of windows. This glass enclosed chateau reveals a backdrop of Manhattan stretching north, east, west, and south. The lavish great room is flanked by a wood-burning fireplace and west-facing terrace with sweeping water views.
Wrapping around to the right of the great room is a formal dining area with breathtaking northern views all the way up to the Empire State Building. Continuing past the dining area is an enormous chef’s kitchen, uniquely crafted by Herzog & de Meuron featuring an Absolute Black granite grand piano-shaped island and custom-sculpted fully-vented range hood. Satin-glass etched cabinetry surrounds a modern selection of premium Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Off the kitchen and dining areas is an unprecedented 1,000+ square foot wraparound terrace where one can throw extravagant parties and ogle the staggering views north and east across the city.
Sunlight bounces off the Appalachian white oak flooring throughout the home, illuminating all four bedrooms and showcasing a superb, unparalleled design. The master suite revels in the beauty of the city below, with triple exposures north, east, and south offering jaw-dropping views of the East River and One World Trade Center. The expansive 17 × 36 bedroom features a seating area, three large walk-in closets, an en-suite bath, and access to the wraparound terrace. The five-piece master bath is appointed with travertine floors and Thassos marble mosaic tile walls. The Herzog & de Meuron custom design includes a double sink vanity, free-standing tub, six-by-four foot glass enclosed steam shower, heated flooring, and a full height mirrored closet. Awaken to the sunrise, take a bath while admiring one of the world’s most iconic buildings, and gaze at the stars from your balcony.
Three additional bedroom suites line the south-facing wing of the apartment, each complete with luxurious en-suite bathrooms and one with its own private balcony.
This gracious residence also includes an extra bonus room/exercise room, powder room, and laundry room with a Maytag washer and dryer.
Tribeca’s cantilevered 60-story glass tower designed by Herzog & de Meuron has become a defining landmark along Manhattan’s skyline.
