Situated mid-block on tree-lined east 11th street, this exceptionally rare duplex penthouse home with a 1000sf landscaped terrace off the living space offers mesmerizing views over the picturesque St. Marks Church Tower and Gardens. All main rooms of this meticulous and warm 2 bedroom/2.5 bath home face south and are flooded with beautiful light and golden sunsets. Originally an open loft space, the apartment was reimagined by Alfredo Paredes Studio incorporating gorgeous casement windows and doors on four sides, handsome reclaimed wood ceilings, warm French limestone floors and rich natural white Oak millwork. The result is undoubtedly one of the most alluring and timeless homes to come to market in Manhattan.

An elegant natural white Oak paneled entry opens to the double height entry main hall with an elegant staircase and limestone floors. The impressive 40 X 18 Great Room with voluminous 13' ceilings of reclaimed wood is punctuated by five sets of floor-to-ceiling casement French doors opening onto the lushly landscaped and furnished 1000sf terrace. The enviably expansive terrace perfect for entertaining on a large scale offers a sweep of open south views of the St. Marks Church clock tower with the Freedom Tower in the distance. The Great Room includes a wood-burning fireplace and is offset by a semi-enclosed chef's windowed kitchen which opens to the terrace through a set of floor-to-ceiling French casement doors. The main level is complete with a powder room, coat closet and laundry room off the entry foyer. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite spans the entire south side of the upper floor and includes a corner bedroom with a decorative fireplace and a luxuriously appointed and spacious windowed bath. A third bedroom was seamlessly incorporated in the primary suite to create a corner natural white Oak paneled dressing room and home office. An additional bedroom with handsomely outfitted en-suite bath completes the upper level. The apartment includes heated limestone floors on the main level and central air-conditioning throughout.

This exceptional offering is a superb opportunity for a discerning buyer to acquire a very private, impeccably designed yet very comfortable home. 235 East 11th Street is an intimate 9-unit Condop discreetly tucked along townhouse-lined east 11th street and across from the St. Marks Church, Manhattan's second oldest church. The apartment enjoys an attractively low maintenance, and a storage space transfers with the sale.
