Welcome to residence 2E: a charismatic, cosmopolitan home with dramatic casement windows framed in statutory bronze and colossal 10’7” ceilings. The Paris Forino-designed, state-of-the-art condominium—one of downtown’s most coveted buildings—is truly one of a kind, fully decked out with world-class amenities and ensconced in New York’s most eclectic and intriguing neighborhood.

With Southern exposure, the property offers serene garden views and all-day sunlight through stately casement windows. Exceptional interior features of this extensively customized home include seven-inch wide plank European white oak flooring, custom lighting, copious closet space, 8’ interior doors with burnished brass hardware and architectural millwork throughout.

The expertly crafted, open chef’s kitchen is complete with Satin lacquer custom Italian cabinetry, limestone and Calacatta marble countertops and blackened metal hardware. The world-class suite of appliances boasts Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero including wine cooler. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the living room, which is flanked by statuesque floor-to-ceiling casement windows.

The primary suite is a true sanctuary, outfitted with two fully customized walk-in closets. An en-suite, five-fixture primary bath is highlighted by luminous design details. The serene space features herringbone Bianco Dolomiti mosaic floors complemented by the luxury of radiant heat, Bianco Dolomiti-clad walls, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower.

The second bedroom is also graciously scaled and features a double closet and more stunning, soundproof casement windows. The second bathroom is finished with Bianco Carrara honed marble mosaic walls and floor, a Corbata Nero marble-framed vanity mirror, and a cerused white oak Italian vanity topped by Bianco Dolomiti. Chrome fittings by Waterworks are featured throughout both baths

This exceptional, pristine property is also complete with a Bosch washer/dryer positioned within an efficient linen closet, central air with an air purification system, various intelligent overhead light sources, plentiful storage, and triple-paned soundproof windows with custom motorized blinds.

This unparalleled, full-service condominium—a supremely respected element of the neighborhood, designed for the most discerning homeowner—provides a 24-hour concierge and live-in resident manager. Residents enjoy over 16,000 square feet of amenities including a teak-ribbed indoor pool overlooking a private park-like garden, spa sanctuary with steam room and sauna, 2,000 square foot state-of-the-art fitness center complete with Peleton bikes, pilates room, and an abundance of the most modern equipment, resident’s library, a pet spa, and an artfully-designed children’s playroom. Outdoor spaces include—the crown jewel—a magnificent 5,000 square foot sky park featuring gas grills, an open-air kitchen and panoramic city views, and a 3,000 square foot meticulously-designed resident courtyard.
