A rare find, this glamorous penthouse duplex sits atop a converted warehouse in the historic waterfront neighborhood of Dumbo. With a deeded parking space next door at 205 Water Street (purchased separately in 2021 for $140,000), and sprawling terraces that enjoy views of the Manhattan skyline and the Manhattan Bridge, this home truly has it all.

This penthouse features top-of-the-line finishes throughout and 4 bedrooms and 4 and a half bathrooms spread over 3,016 interior and 2,764 exterior square feet, offering the perfect layout for indoor and outdoor living and entertaining. The elegant modern interior boasts high ceilings, fumed oak herringbone floors, multi-zoned heating and cooling system, and automated electric shades in every room.

Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light through two stunning southwestern facing walls of floor-to-ceiling blackened steel casement windows. The 40.5-foot long great room can accommodate a large seating area and a dining table that could easily seat 20.

The open chef’s kitchen boasts Aster Cucine cabinetry with blackened hardware, honed La Rochelle Gris marble countertops, and a suite of Gaggenau appliances including a 5-burner cooktop, convection range, 42" fridge, wine cooler and microwave drawer. All is accentuated by an oversized 12-foot center island and bar with seating for four.
