Description

Abundant in scale, this three (3) bedroom, three-and-a-half (3.5) bathroom home offers a calibre of property rarely found in New York City.

Offering solid oak herringbone floors, over 10-foot ceilings and the mastery of a Theirry Despont layout, the abode capitalizes on superior proportions, elevated by superb open city views facing North to the Empire State Building, East across the Brooklyn Bridge, and South to the New York Harbor and Hudson River. Entirely customized interiors by the acclaimed designer Martin Kobus, this elegant, unique and beautiful home is reflective of its place in one of Manhattan's most esteemed buildings.

Approximating 3,282 square feet, the flexible floor plan includes an ample corner great room stretching over 35 feet wide, containing five over-sized terracotta framed windows that maximize gorgeous morning light, while simultaneously showcasing any substantive art collection. Containing impressive and bespoke hand-painted eglomise-mirror panels with elevated sconces, as well as a featured wet-bar, this show-stopping room blends seamlessly into the staple of Downtown living; a grand open kitchen. Custom Molteni cabinetry with all-new hardware, Dornbracht fixtures, Calacatta Calida marble counters and a full suite of Miele appliances complete this "heart of the home", thus ensuring true comfort or an ability to entertain memorably.

The bedroom wing is reached via an impressive gallery, here presenting inspired beaded wallcovering, which leads initially into a secondary bedroom (currently utilized as the media room). Theatrical and cocooning, this sanctuary is clad in custom de Gournay wallpaper reflective of the building's heyday, and includes an ensuite bathroom and excellent City Hall and Brooklyn views, if a third bedroom is indeed required. The additional secondary bedroom faces south and benefits not only from direct and consistent light, but a welcoming and relaxing emerald palette of exquisite taste, that while lovely, can in no way compete with one of the stylish and plushest primary bedrooms. Corner positioned with water views, this lavish yet breezy room can not only accommodate a seating area beside a king-sized-bed, but it offers a windowed, walk-in-closet and dressing area tailored to the most fashion savvy. Outfitted with a steam shower, free standing tub, double vanity, marble heated floors and slab walls, all finished with Dornbracht Platinum fixtures and Nanz nickel hardware, the primary bathroom is befitting of this quality home.


Originally commissioned by retail magnate F.W. Woolworth, architect Cass Gilberts Landmark 92-foot-tall neo-Gothic masterpiece maintains its graceful presence on the world's most famous skyline. The 33 condominium residences developed by Alchemy Properties start on the 29th floor and with never more than two homes per floor, life at The Woolworth Tower Residences offers a boutique, club-like intimacy. Surrounded by world-class restaurants such as Wolfgang Puck's Cut, Nobu and Odeon, as well as hotels such as the Four Seasons and The Beekman, a plethora of luxury shopping and prime groceries such as Whole Foods, Eataly and the Tin Building, the location could not feel more central. Offering white glove service and amenities that include the Gilbert Lounge, Woolworth Pool, Fitness Studio, Wine Cellar and Tasting Room, Bike Room, On-Site Attended parking and resident-only Lobby, as well as a 24-hour doorperson, the service is equal to its contemporary buildings, albeit with elevated discretion and privacy.

Featured in Luxe Interior + Design magazine Martin Korbus surmises the home eloquently by saying "The apartment is chic and elevated, but still very comfortable and livable, too".
