The trophy full-floor penthouse in Gwathmey Siegel's "Sculpture for Living" is a carpe diem opportunity to own the extraordinary. This one-of-a-kind penthouse is located in the most notable piece of architecture of its time; defining its NoHo neighborhood and setting the stage for others to follow. Penthouse 17 offers captivating 360-degree vistas of New York City from sunrise to sunset. Every window provides a new perspective of the Manhattan skyline. The "wow factor" begins when the elevator doors open directly into the breathtaking gallery foyer. A 44' /- south-facing living and dining expanse features World Trade and iconic downtown views. The open kitchen has counter dining, pantry and bar area. An 1,100-gallon salt water aquarium separates the kitchen from living space offering a therapeutic calm to the home. The tranquility of the interior design blends brilliantly with the exterior landscape. The white interior walls combine with the stones and woods creating a contemporary elegance. The sensational master suite boasts 2 dressing rooms, spa bath with double shower and soaking tub, coffee station and mini-bar, 200-gallon fresh water aquarium, study with wood burning fireplace and 2 doors leading to the terrace. There are 2 guest rooms with en-suite baths, powder room, washer/dryer, central air, integrated sound and mood lighting.
