Description
Developed by Astoban Investments, one of the city’s premier developers renowned for creating some of the city’s most innovative, bespoke buildings, this is a 6-story building in Old City. With only 4 condominium units, one unit per floor for complete privacy, this boutique-sized building offers privacy and expansive, beautifully finished interiors. From the lobby an elevator whisks you directly to your residence. Tall windows and high ceilings in each unit create sun-filled interiors. Best-in-class finishes and fixtures are the ideal canvas whether your style is tailored and modern or awash in color and texture. Buyers will have an all-new home in the shell of a classic, historical building that remains an important part of the streetscape in Old City. The bi-level penthouse provides 4,786 square feet on the fifth and sixth floors with a 694-square-foot outdoor space plus a wealth of natural light from its full height glass window/door system facing 2nd Street, a stunning living/great room with floor-to-ceiling windows, an atrium and clerestory windows incorporated into two areas. The bi-level floor plan has an in-unit full-size staircase. This floor plan easily accommodates 4 sizable bedrooms. There are 5.5 baths. Smartly designed to take advantage of the views and outdoor space, the main living areas are on the sixth floor. Grand in scale, this floor showcases a flexible space with access to a huge terrace that can be set up with dining/lounging areas. A direct-from-Italy Scavolini kitchen accommodates a full suite of pro-grade appliances and island and is adjacent to a large dining area. A 130-square foot interior atrium opens to the kitchen/dining area, offering an additional open-air setting for private vegetable and herb garden. A spectacular space awash in sunlight with floor-to-ceiling windows with access to a large terrace completes the top floor. As a great room, a library or a whatever your imagination desires, day or night, this glass-walled room promises to be a favorite retreat. Private quarters are on the fifth floor with a family room/flex space and kitchenette for convenience. Each bedroom is an en suite and spacious. The main bedroom suite is designed to include a luxe array of amenities, including a main bath with radiant-heated floor, oversized, glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub and Scavolini cabinetry.

Its location, square footage and quality rivals any in the city. At under $1,000/square foot, it is a tremendous value.
