10 Plaza Street East   Unit 16D

Dramatic light and spectacular Manhattan views from the 16th floor of this full-service building on Plaza Street - that's what you see looking outside. What you see inside is a recent full renovation where no expense has been spared in design or quality. From the 5.5-in. white oak flooring to the recessed lighting to the chic doors with crisp profile surrounds and satin chrome hardware, the apartment is at once contemporary and comfortable. The entry hall is roomy enough to remove shoes and boots and a holds a closet for tucking away coats and hats. Take a turn, and behold the exquisite kitchen with Calacatta Bluette marble counter, sink and backsplash. The workspace has been extended with the addition of a circular breakfast bar that can accommodate three stools and is illuminated by a dramatic modern LED chandelier. The island holds storage drawers, and there is ceiling-high cabinetry and a pantry, all painted in a celestial blue, mirroring the sky views. Top-tier appliances include a SubZero fridge with freezer drawers, Bosch dishwasher, Sharp microwave drawer and a Cafe six-burner double oven with convection. Two slender shafts of shelving hold cookbooks and spices. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed, and a double closet maximizes storage. The bathroom was cleverly designed with two entrances: one from the bedroom, the second from the hallway (especially convenient for guests). A large step-in shower has been fashioned with inset storage, a bench and vertical hombre mosaics reminiscent of a waterfall. A marble-topped vanity has two deep drawers, and the toilet is Toto with built-in washlet. Its blue-and-white palette mirror the ocean. 10 Plaza Street is a highly sought-after building with a full-time super, door attendants, basement laundry -- and an stellar location for commuting (the 2/3 station is downstairs!), culture, shopping and dining - fine and casual. An assessment is in place until 2025 to complete Local Law 11 work and replenish reserves. If you're looking for an absolute GEM of an apartment where all you have to do is mix a cocktail and luxuriate in your skyline views, this is IT.
