161 Hudson Street   Unit 9A/8B

Enormous, 6,280sf quiet, light-filled penthouse duplex with big views and terraces located in the heart of Tribeca. This exquisite Monique Gibson-designed, mint, move-in light-flooded condominium duplex Penthouse blends the grand scale of loft living with apartment conveniences with open, protected exposures to the East, North, and West.


Enter via a welcoming foyer that leads you past steel and glass french doors that open into an enormous corner living room, over 37 feet in length with 8 over-sized windows that flood this room with light, several of them facing St. John's Park. This room boasts a wall of expertly crafted shelves and storage and references its industrial past with exposed columns and beams. A large open kitchen with a pantry has been expertly equipped with a grand counter as a focal point. An adjoining media room creates a cozy enclave. This is the more formal wing of this townhouse-sized apartment and perfectly suited for elegant entertaining. Off the foyer is a hallway that contains a powder room, coat closet, large storage room and a full bedroom suite facing the park.


A stairway connects the upper level (also accessible via the elevator) that embraces a more relaxed flavor. A perfectly proportioned recreation/casual living room with an adjoining study, dining area/fifth bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette all lead to the dreamy landscaped terrace, perfectly suited to daily living and more casual entertaining. The pin-drop quiet master bedroom suite comprises a bedroom and a light-filled en-suite bathroom with two enormous walk-in closets. There are two additional bedroom suites surrounding a library with a large skylight and a superbly equipped laundry room with twin washer/dryers and an abundance of storage. Above this is a rooftop observation terrace that boasts superb views and is the perfect perch to observe the changing face of Tribeca. A plan exists to connect this terrace to the one below.


Conveniently centered in the epicenter of prime Tribeca - moments from the Hudson River Park (and the new Google and Disney offices) and all public transportation, restaurants, entertainment and amenities - and in close proximity to Soho and the spectacular evolving Lower Manhattan, this penthouse truly has it all: an abundance of space and storage, views, light, location, A-grade finishes, and design, all housed in a discrete, quality, boutique-sized condominium with a part-time doorman (8am-8pm M-F, 11am-8pm on weekends). There is a flip tax of 1% of the purchase price paid by the purchaser
