This tastefully renovated five-bedroom duplex penthouse has an expansive terrace affording panoramic direct river views and an abundance of natural light.
From your semi-private landing you enter the apartment to a gracious foyer. Off the foyer is the formal dining room, elegantly framed by pocket doors. The expansive corner living room has a WBFP and is ablaze with light while offering exquisite direct river views. The corner study, with en-suite bath, is tucked away off the living room offering an owner the flexibility to create an additional (fifth) bedroom or guest suite also with river views.
The renovated eat-in-kitchen is cheerful and bright with two oversized windows and has a large central island with seating for 3. It has top of the line appliances and a hood that vents to the outside. The adjacent butler’s pantry is replete with storage and perfectly complements the kitchen. Two bedrooms, each with ample closet space, a shared windowed bath, and vented W/D complete this level.
Ascending the stairs is a large landing with a dry bar that leads to an expansive wrap around terrace, ideal for entertaining. The corner master suite, with windowed en-suite bath, has a wall of storage and French doors leading to the terrace. The fourth bedroom and windowed hall bath are also found on this level as well as a second entrance to the apartment offering the opportunity to access either floor directly from the elevator.
This amazing home is affectionately called "Clouds" in all of the building documentation.
