ALL OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
The trophy of the SLATE condominium is this duplex Penthouse, offering over 2,300 square feet of meticulously designed interior space paired with an additional 900 square feet of outdoor space, consisting of two breathtaking exterior terraces (on the lower level) and a private roof (on the upper level). Spanning the top two floors of the building, this unique residence dazzles with breathtaking views, brilliant natural light and privacy that literally makes you feel like living in a townhouse dropped on top of a full-service building.
What sets this apartment apart are the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and the three aforementioned outdoor spaces that foster a close connection to the outdoors and give a feeling of spaciousness and openness. There seems to be no boundaries between the indoor and outdoor spaces, and the apartment’s layout makes it so fluid to navigate between them. The apartment looks and feels bigger thanks to this. The Penthouse’s interior features hardwood floors made from ice (Brazilian walnut), known for its rich color and impressive durability.
The 3 bedroom (currently set-up as a 2 bedrooom + den) 2.5 bathroom home is accessed via two private key-locked elevators, leading you directly into a gallery foyer.
On your left is the great room featuring the living area, dining area and an open kitchen. The chef’s kitchen has a Bosch gas stove and dishwasher, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, garbage disposal and ample storage space. The dining area leads to a first terrace (North facing) perfect for outdoor dining or drinks. The L-shaped living area brings an immense amount of views with its South/West corner window, has its own gas fire place and features a wet bar with marble countertops and connects to the first of three bedrooms (currently used as a den/lounge area with no partitions). This den is open to our second terrace (South facing and also the largest of the two terraces) with double doors, ideal for entertaining or sunbathing with its southern exposure.
Going back to our gallery foyer when you enter the apartment, on your right are the two main bedrooms.
The primary bedroom is generously sized with floor-to-ceiling windows and its setback and corner windows give a feeling of dominating the city and panoramic east-west views of 18th St. It has a walk-in closet, plus a second closet and an ensuite bathroom with a window allowing natural sunlight and fresh air, heated floors, two sinks, a soaking tub and a separated walk-in shower. This primary bedroom also connects to our South facing balcony.
The second bedroom is large in size with great incredible skyline views, catching Hudson Yards to the West and the Empire State Building and Chrysler building to the East. It has a closet and a Full bathroom next to it.
A staircase leads to your very own private rooftop with breathtaking 360-degree views of NYC. No nearby terraces are above you, giving you great deal of privacy. It is most definitely an entertainer’s dream come true and/or a parent pleaser since young children have plenty of space to play safely (the rooftop is surrounded by a solid 4ft tall wall). The rooftop offers an motorized retractable awning and a water connection. It is definitely big enough to accommodate an outdoor kitchen should you wish to install one.
A designated storage unit is also included.
The Slate Condominium is a 12-story, 26-unit boutique building designed by Karl Fischer in 2006 with the welcoming interiors finished by Andres Escobar. Building amenities include a full-time concierge, on-site parking garage, fitness center and pet spa.
