Description

Corcoran is pleased to present Penthouse 81 at the Four Seasons Private Residences New York, Downtown. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern, PH81 is a unique, single floor layout in the most prestigious building in lower Manhattan; a home that represents the pinnacle of urban living with sweeping exposures in all directions.

A private full-floor penthouse with symmetrically flanking sunrise and sunset terraces, PH81 boasts dramatic 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, Hudson and East Rivers, and beyond. Security-enabled elevator access staffed by Four Seasons personnel elegantly and discreetly deliver you to your exclusive landing, nearly 900 feet above the city, then to an entrance gallery where you first experience the breathtaking views.

Enhanced by ceiling heights of roughly 12 feet and rift-cut quarter-sawn oak floors throughout the home, this exquisitely designed residence is equally impressive for its interiors as exemplified by the expansive living room on its western wing. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the vast room allows for multiple seating areas and is replete with a handsome 19th Century 'Herculean' Carrera marble mantle surrounding the gas fireplace as well as custom lighting by Bouyea and Associates. The west-facing "sunset terrace" runs nearly the full length of this well-proportioned room, optimizing Hudson River and western views.

The elegant and sumptuously detailed dining room is perfect for entertaining whether on a grand or intimate scale; it flows seamlessly from the living room and is adjacent to the kitchen. Beautifully customized by Eggersman with a suite of Gaggenau appliances, the stunning chef's kitchen and sunny family room comprise the quotidian heart of this special home. The room's corner southwest corner exposure overlooking the World Trade Center makes for a dramatic backdrop, cinematically lit by extraordinary sunsets.

The eastern wing offers a suite of rooms designed for maximum privacy and maintain the high level of design found in the public rooms. Commensurate with the grandeur of this bespoke residence, the enormous primary bedroom comprises the entirety of the eastern flank complete with the "sunrise terrace" offering panoramic views of the Brooklyn Bridge and points East. Two substantial walk-in-closets and two en-suite bathrooms, eachappointed with custom millwork, marble slabs and exquisite fixtures, flank either side of the suite. A midnight kitchen ensures the vast sanctuary is completely self contained, yet a separate service hallway discreetly connects it with the two secondary bedrooms, and their ensuite bathrooms.

Located off of the entry hall and currently utilized as a media room, the fourth bedroom would easily serve as a comfortable study or library and features its own fireplace and adjacent full bathroom.

A laundry/utility room and powder room ensure additional comfort and practicality, with the home optimized beyond the aesthetic via highly sophisticated audio-visual and home automation systems, extraordinary HVAC and lighting systems.
