1 Leroy St. 5B

On historic Leroy Street, this beautiful three-story penthouse pairs the classic character and scale of a townhouse with the convenience of a modern condominium. Traditional details are given a light and contemporary touch: elaborate millwork, coffered ceilings, shuttered windows, wood burning fireplaces and a glorious roof terrace are accented with shades of white and blue for a casual elegance that exudes comfort and charm.

Facing South, West and North, there are sunny exposures from every room. The living room is spacious and airy with a woodburning fireplace and mantle at its center, banked on either side with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry styled with panels and bead board, and a coffered ceiling above. The open dining room has ample space for entertaining and a custom bar with wine storage. The windowed eat-in kitchen is stunning in white: Christopher Peacock cabinets offset with thick cut marble, ceramic pendant lights by MacKenzie-Childs, a Wolf range, Miele dishwasher and full-size SubZero plus two additional produce and beverage drawers. The window seat banquette is perfect for casual dining and hides extra storage for linens. Outside the kitchen sits the grasscloth-lined laundry and a full bath for guests.

Downstairs the serene master bedroom suite has windows adorned with plantation shutters, molded trim wall panels, and a looped iron chandelier. The spa bath has a Jacuzzi soaking tub, separate steam shower, double sinks and English-style fixtures. The plentiful closets in the master and throughout the home have been meticulously customized with California Closets interiors, making it a pleasure to stay organized. The generous second bedroom has pretty treetop views, a walk-in closet and its own bathroom.

The fantastic top floor guest suite or roof-side entertaining room can be opened entirely to the sprawling roof terrace and houses the second fireplace. Wainscoting and a navy LuLu DK graphic paper decorate the walls and
