Floating at just the perfect eye-level is one of NYC's rarest, most compelling, and majestic harbor and river views. Here is a duplexed diamond -- a rambling trophy home offering stupendous light and space, and a coveted front row seat to one of the most magical maritime panoramas in the world. This is the prime corner condo home that inspires the senses and soothes the soul - 2309 square feet (214.51 square meters) of duplexed luxury enrobed by 20 over-scaled, mostly contiguous windows onto utterly magnificent, jaw-dropping water views. The mood of this huge home changes and evolves as the day's light reflects up from the waterway below. Stupendous sunsets envelop this resplendent residence, and a daily treasure trove of boats and ships from around the world glide by this home's big picture windows. Inside is a thoughtful residence mindfully created to showcase its unsurpassed theatrical waterscape from most every one of its generously proportioned rooms. Downstairs boasts a dramatic, inviting, open-plan living/dining room -- a grand, lofty expanse with Southern and Western exposures, cinematic harbor/river views, and ideal proximity to the big, windowed, eat-in cook's kitchen. The kitchen boasts dual sinks, premium stainless appliances (with dual wall ovens and a Subzero), and ample custom cabinetry/counter space. With a large balconied media room, whose double-height ceilings soar to over 17 feet high (5.25 meters), and with a sizeable library and guest bath, the entertaining floor of this home flows smartly, practically, and elegantly - making it easy to live and easy to love. Upstairs, the master bedroom is unlike any other you are ever likely to see. A corner master with en suite bath, over-scaled walk-in closet, and an immense en suite office/media room, this sprawling suite floats on its water views and offers full views of Lady Liberty and world class sunsets over NY Harbor. With two guest bedroom suites, ample custom closets, and an in-home laundry room, the entire upstairs is a relaxed retreat overlooking a nautical wonderland. Supremely situated in one of the most coveted and enviable areas of the premiere, full-service Regatta Condominium, this well-crafted home enjoys the building's top-shelf staff, courtyard, terrace, and roof deck - not to mention pristine proximity to public transportation (1 & R trains at Rector,4 & 5 trains at Wall Street, J & Z trains at Broad Street). With world-class dining and shopping options at nearby Brookfield Place and World Trade Center, a plethora of area markets and boutiques, two movie theatre complexes (including the new iPic Theatre!), and simple access to Tribeca, Financial District, and the Seaport, life here is easy, convenient, and fun. Nestled within a glorious park, this happy home is on the Hudson River Esplanade, and close to playing fields, playgrounds, green spaces galore, and to most every downtown shopping, dining, and cultural destination. A rare residential experience awaits you - an exceptional opportunity in an extraordinary setting. Welcome aboard.
