    What's special

    Modern Duplex Penthouse on the Lower East Side with massive outdoor space and stunning views of the financial district and midtown in the distance. Upon entering the apartment, you are immediately greeted by the spacious living room with double height ceilings, featuring a central statement staircase whose polished stainless steel and glass construction beautifully underline the modern character of the unit. The double glass doors leading on to the lower-level terrace draw your attention to the key feature of this duplex: expansive views with both the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge in the distance. Hardwood floors throughout make the space feel warm and inviting. The fully equipped kitchen features a dishwasher, range with full-size oven, large fridge/freezer, and those same incredible views. In the bedroom you'll find a built-in wardrobe and access to the lower-level terrace. In times where a lot of work is done from home, the upper level area makes for an amazing home office with a view that will give many Madison Ave offices a run for their money. If you love to entertain, you will not find yourself short of space: the two outdoor areas will give you plenty of extra seating and dining space to accommodate guests. The penthouse is located within walking distance of Delancey St-Essex St Station with F, M, J, and Z line connections. Next to the station you'll find Essex Market, which foodies are sure to appreciate. Scarr's Pizza is just around the corner, which was named Best New York Slice by Bon Appetit. Disclaimer: any staging is merely indicative and is not included with the unit.
