21 East 22nd St. #12F

Nestled at the top of the building on one of the most coveted blocks in the Flatiron/Gramercy neighborhood sits this rarely found, jewel box penthouse.

This sophisticated home offers two levels of living space, including an expansive 42-foot terrace off its southeastern corner which offers three sitting areas and dramatic city views. Completely renovated to the most exacting standards, this residence is as functional as it is beautiful, with modern touches complementing the historic features inherent to the building. Sumptuous wide-oak chevron floors span the living space, and the multiple lounging and dining areas allow for seamless entertaining. The sculptured, open kitchen is complemented by an oversized island, and comes complete with a top-of-the-line Subzero refrigerator, a Wolf induction cooktop and oven, and dual-Subzero wine refrigeration and Miele dishwasher, and custom cabinetry by Leicht. The truly unique main bathroom is flanked with a dramatic book-matched marble wall and shower, and includes top of the line custom cabinetry complemented by gorgeous Kallista faucets, shower fixtures, and stunning dual hammered polished metal sinks. This home has central air conditioning throughout. Oversized windows provide superb light, and its high ceilings create a dramatic, comfortable feel.

This two bedroom home currently is configured as a one bedroom, however, the changing room easily can be converted back to the originally-designed second bedroom which is located just off the living room. An artistically designed staircase leads upstairs to the master suite, which showcases coiffured ceilings and a stunning terrace that seamlessly pulls the outside in. Continuing the decor that exists throughout the residence, picture molding detail provides a wonderful melding of the modern and classic.

21 East 22nd Street is a well-run, financially strong co-op with low monthly maintenance. The building allows for pied-a-terre, guarantors, and pets. This penthouse truly is a rare find.
