21 East 22nd Street 10C

For the first time in 30 years, this sun-drenched, duplex penthouse has come on the market in one of the world's most sought-after neighborhoods. Just moments from Madison Square Park in the heart of the Flatiron District is a timeless, classical building constructed in 1911 that was converted to residential lofts in 1980. This south-facing penthouse spans two floors with a large, L-shaped terrace off the primary bedroom. This bedroom has its own wood burning fireplace, and the spacious terrace affords commanding views in every direction, including the Flatiron Building to the west and the MetLife Tower to the north. The private terrace also opens to a large common roof deck. The first floor's soaring ceilings lend an openness to the space with large south-facing windows that bathe the apartment in natural light. Hardwood floors throughout the apartment extend into the second bedroom, whose walls are lined with custom bookshelves and extraordinary closet space. The separate kitchen features stainless steel countertops, high end appliances, and hardwood cabinetry. A washer/dryer is permitted in the unit with board approval, and the two full baths are exquisitely crafted with colored concrete walls inspired by some of the city's finest fashion showrooms. The magnificent, classically designed building features a live-in superintendent, full-time doorman, laundry (washer/dryer is permitted in the apartment), a beautiful lobby, storage, and large roof deck that extends from the private terrace. With very reasonable monthly maintenance, Penthouse 12L is that rare combination of contemporary living in classic, downtown New York in perhaps the most convenient neighborhood in the city. The neighborhood hosts countless restaurants, cafes, shops, and New York landmarks. Both Madison Square Park and Union Square are moments away, and several subway lines in every direction are readily accessible. We look forward to showing you this remarkable penthouse in the heart of the greatest city in the world.
