Designer Penthouse Masterpiece in Prime Williamsburg with Rooftop Cupola Introducing this one-of-a-kind gut-renovated penthouse, with parking, roof access and a private rooftop cupola! This former school has an oasis-like garden with a koi pond and grilling area shared among the small intimate coop. This floor-through 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom used to be the entire science floor. This co-op exudes timeless elegance and contemporary city luxury and charm and also comes with a massive storage room! The home spreads across 2,050 sq. ft. and features a collection of bespoke and adaptive reuse details that recall the building's 19th Century origin. This home was featured in Architectural Digest and was renovated and designed by top NYC interior design firm White Arrow. Features include beautiful hardwood floors, airy 11-ft ceilings, arched doorways and windows, ample storage space, designer light fixtures, reclaimed 19th Century door hinges and knobs, antique French and Indian doors, central A/C, an LG washer/dryer, a decorative fireplace, original tin ceilings, and custom millwork. A stunning entryway with a Stilnovo chandelier and an enchanting arched doorway leads into a formal dining room and an open kitchen saturated with natural light. The dining room has a Brendan Ravenhill chandelier, while the windowed kitchen is equipped with reclaimed North American chestnut chevron floors, an eat-in island, sleek marble countertops, custom cabinets, Barber Wilsons fixtures, a Rohl Fireclay farmhouse sink, and a suite of fully-integrated high-end appliances from Miele, Sub-Zero, and Lacanche. A formal living room with arched windows sits opposite the dining room. The primary bedroom boasts Florian Schulz lighting, an incredible dressing room with built-in storage and Fontana Arte lights, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with radiant heated floors, marble surfaces, antique etched glass doors, hand-cut Moroccan tile, Barber Wilsons fixtures, and a spa-like wet room with a 19th Century cast iron tub and an exposed Thermostatic rain shower. The second bedroom is currently set up as a pristine kids' room with Calico wallpaper, tin ceilings, and Murano lighting. The guest bathroom is outfitted with a step-in shower, a 19th Century earthenware pedestal sink, and vintage Delft and Portuguese tile from the 1700s and 1800s. 143 South 8th Street is a landmarked 19th Century co-op located in Williamsburg.
