72 Mercer Street at 72 Mercer St. #PHW/5W

Perfectly positioned on this tranquil stretch of Mercer Street, the most desirable of all cobbled Soho streets, this discreet post modern boutique condominium with a 24-hour doorman was designed by Traboscia Roiatti Architects to blend in with the distinctive historic architecture that surrounds it. Atop the seven story structure lies this duplex penthouse, that rises above the roof levels of the neighborhood providing inspiring views to the West through enormous windows that flood the entire apartment with light all day long that conclude with memorable sunsets. This penthouse includes a third full floor below the penthouse, adding an additional 2,133sf: this can be combined to create a TRIPLEX penthouse or kept as a separate guest apartment.

The elevator opens into this loft-style apartment immediately revealing soaring ceilings that are unusual for a top floor. The gracious living room is bracketed with a fireplace on one end and a wall of custom crafted bookshelves on the other. An adjoining Bulthaup kitchen is both large and functional with maple and aluminum cabinetry topped with stone counters. On the East side of this floor is an additional bedroom suite or study/library that could also be a formal dining room. A balcony leads off this area facing towards the courtyard. The center of this floor is flooded with light from an enormous overhead skylight that embraces the grand stairway leading to the rooftop terrace. The meticulously landscaped and irrigated roof terrace is a sight to behold with panoramic views and multiple seating areas, including an area shaded by a pergola.

The lower level features a large Master Suite with expertly outfitted closets and an en suite bathroom, beautifully appointed with Thassos marble and the finest fixtures from Porcher, Dornbracht, Duravit and Waterworks. Select rift and quarter sawn White Oak hardwood floors accentuate the grand proportions of every room and ducted central air-conditioning with humidity controls is featured throughout. To the rear are two additional bedroom suites, each beautifully appointed too. There is a laundry room with a Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer. A superb Crestron sound system features throughout.

Soho is the quintessential authentic New York neighborhood with its unique mix of architectural cast iron landmarks lining cobbled streets filled with the world’s greatest boutiques, restaurants and art galleries. Moments away from the Mercer Hotel, Dean and Delucca, all transportation and so much more, this is a penthouse the likes of which come to the market very rarely.
