Matatagpuan sa gitna ng ilang mga kapitbahayan sa downtown, at dating tahanan ng Mets Hall of Famer, si Mike Piazza, ang Penthouse ng 117 East 18th Street ay handa na para sa kanyang masuwerte bagong may-ari. Ang gusali ay isang boutique na may ilan lamang na tirahan, at dahil dito ang bahay na ito ay nag-aalok ng privacy habang ipinagmamalaki din ang isang malawak na layout, mahusay na ilaw, maraming espasyo para sa imbakan, at siyempre, isang pribadong terasa.

Pumasok sa pamamagitan ng key-locked elevator entry (na nag-a-access sa parehong palapag) papunta sa isang open loft space na nakaharap sa timog at nililinis ang gusali sa kabila ng kalye. Magandang imbakan din dito: isang ibabaw ng hagdang-akyat na closet at coat closet ang sumasalubong sa iyo pagpasok kasama ang isang nakalaang yunit ng imbakan sa basement. Mayroong isang malaking living area na may wood-burning fireplace, dining area na may puwang para sa sampung tao, at open kitchen. Ang kusina ay may bintana, may marble countertops at makabuluhang espasyo para sa cabinet, at may mga kagamitan mula sa SubZero at Dacor, kabilang ang wine refrigerator.

Sa antas na ito ay isang bagong labing pangalawang banyo na na-renovate mula sa tabi hanggang sa itaas na may pinainit na sahig at marble na lababo, at dalawang malalaking guest bedroom na nag-aalok din ng sikat ng araw at maliwanag na tanawin sa hilaga.

Sa itaas sa pamamagitan ng magandang bilog na hagdang-akyat ay ang pangunahing suite, pangalawang living area/den, at terasa. Ang pangunahing suite ay nakaharap sa hilaga at may tanawin hanggang Midtown, at mayroon itong malaking Poliform built-out closet at five-piece primary bath na kamakailan ay na-renovate. Mayroon itong marble soaking tub, Miele washer/dryer, double vanity, at shower na may speakers, pati na rin ang nakakapagpalamig na pinainit na sahig.

Ang southern wing ng itaas ay may full-width den. Bihira sa merkado ang isang penthouse na may ganitong kahanga-hangang "bonus room!" Ang silid na ito ay may isa pang wood-burning fireplace na nakaharap din sa terasa at pag-access sa malaking terasa na nakaharap sa timog. Ang kasalukuyang mga may-ari ay nilagyan ang terrace na ito ng built-in seating, self-watering planters, lighting, at speakers. Mayroon ding built-in barbecue grill, refrigerator, at retractable awning. Tangkilikin ang mga sunset sa gabi sa terasa habang tinitingnan ang downtown Manhattan.

Ang bahay ay may recessed lighting sa buong paligid, central air na may maraming zone, at isang smart home system. Ito ay matatagpuan sa isang batong tawid mula sa Irving Place at Gramercy Park, pati na rin sa Union Square para sa pinakamainam na pamimili, transportasyon, at mga pangkulturang kapakinabangan.

Located at the nexus of several downtown neighborhoods, and the former home of Mets Hall of Famer, Mike Piazza, the Penthouse of 117 East 18th Street is ready for its lucky new owner. The building is boutique with only a handful of residences, and therefore this home offers privacy while also boasting a generous layout, great light, ample storage space, and of course, a private terrace.

Enter through the key-locked elevator entry (accessing both floors) onto an open loft space facing purely south and clearing the building across the street. Great storage here, too: an under-stair closet and coat closet greet you upon entry along with a dedicated storage unit in the basement. There is a large living area with wood-burning fireplace, a dining area with room for a ten seater, and an open kitchen. The kitchen is windowed, has marble countertops and significant cabinet space, and has appliances by SubZero and Dacor, including a wine refrigerator.

On this level is a brand new second bathroom that was gut renovated with heated floors and a marble sink, and two generous guest bedrooms that also offer sunlight and clear views north.

Upstairs via the beautiful rounded staircase is the primary suite, secondary living area/den, and terrace. The primary suite faces north and has views all the way to Midtown, and has a huge Poliform built-out closet and five-piece primary bath that was recently gut renovated. There is a marble soaking tub, Miele washer/dryer, double vanity, and shower with speakers, as well as comforting heated floors.

The southern wing of upstairs has a full-width den. Rarely in the market does a penthouse come with such a wonderful "bonus room!" This room has another wood-burning fireplace that also fronts to the terrace and access to the large south-facing terrace. The current owners have outfitted this terrace with built-in seating, self-watering planters, lighting, and speakers. There is also a built-in barbecue grill, refrigerator, and retractable awning. Enjoy evening sunsets on the terrace while overlooking downtown Manhattan.

The home enjoys recessed lighting throughout, central air with multiple zones, and a smart home system. It is located a stone's throw from Irving Place and Gramercy Park, as well as Union Square for optimal shopping, transportation, and cultural conveniences.
