Breathtaking design and contemporary luxury are artfully embodied in this masterful Tribeca Penthouse - a singular statement of architectural ambition perched atop the celebrated Sky Lofts Condominium at 145 Hudson Street. Commanding 7,500 square feet of interior living space alongside a 4,500-square-foot wraparound terrace, the residence was conceived by architect James Carpenter and provides abundant natural light through a faade sheathed in UV-coated, high-performance, museum-quality insulated glass - an extraordinary technical and aesthetic achievement that floods every room with pure, filtered light while protecting the interiors within. Meticulously renovated by the acclaimed team at PHDesign, this iconic property is the ultimate in turn-key downtown living. Entry is gained via a private key-locked elevator that opens into an illuminated double-height, south-facing great room, where 18-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows frame direct, unobstructed views of One World Trade Center. At the heart of this grand space stands a two-story cerused oak and silver travertine hearth housing a wood-burning fireplace. Oversized glass sliding doors, which move like walls, open seamlessly from every room on this level to the wraparound terrace, completely rebuilt and extending the living areas into the open air and revealing spectacular panoramas of downtown New York City: sweeping views of the Hudson River, lower Manhattan, and the skyline beyond. The top-of-the-line, custom-designed eat-in chef's kitchen is a study in refinement, with cerused oak cabinetry, brass wall paneling and sinks, an Italian silver travertine backsplash, Italian Stoneglass countertops, and professional-grade appliances by Gaggenau. Also on this level are a den with a second wood-burning fireplace, a spacious formal dining room, a dramatic double-height library/media room, and a game room with en-suite bathroom easily adapted to a fourth bedroom. A sculptural elliptical staircase of steel and Starphire glass connects the entertaining floor to the very private bedroom quarters above. Positioned at the corner of the building with dual exposures, the primary suite faces directly onto the Hudson River and commands sweeping city views to the north and is anchored by a third wood-burning fireplace. The custom travertine en-suite bath is appointed with a steam shower, a Boffi soaking tub, and an Italian brass-framed medicine cabinet. Two deep walk-in closets, clad entirely in cerused oak, provide storage of the highest order. Two more bedrooms are generous in scale, both featuring luxurious en-suite bathrooms, large closets, and spectacular views to the east over Tribeca. Throughout, the design vocabulary is one of meticulous craft and intention. Custom cerused oak wall paneling and doors with brass inlay details were made-to-order in Italy. Hardware is by Nanz, finished in brass. Windows, radiator covers, and stairs have been treated to a four-step artisan hand-painted metallic antique brass finish. Lighting is by Holly Hunt, Michael Anastassiades, Pureedge, Henge, and Kreon. The floors - 16 inches wide and 8 feet in length - are custom-fabricated Italian smoked oak laid in a herringbone pattern that runs continuously throughout the second floor without interruption, a feat of installation as impressive as the material itself. Other flooring includes polished concrete and radiant heating in all bathrooms. Every surface and system in the residence reflects an unwavering commitment to quality. Walls and ceilings throughout are finished in hand-troweled plaster. The home features a Lutron lighting and shade system, a state-of-the-art high-tech security system, comprehensive humidification and climate control, and artwork display lighting precisely calibrated to showcase a significant collection. A large marble-clad laundry room with Waterworks ceramic tiled walls completes the home. Three private dedicated parking spaces complete an already extraordinary o
