445 Lafayette Street #PH17

This extraordinary full-floor residence with wrap terrace occupies the entire 17th floor of the iconic Gwathmey & Siegel designed tower at Astor Place, and offers over 5,100 square feet of indoor and outdoor living, with 360-degree views that are guaranteed to take your breath away! Step off the key-locked elevator into an entrance foyer paved in Travertine limestone, and be greeted by one of Lower Manhattan's most dramatic entertaining spaces, with soaring ceilings, wide-planked flooring, and mesmerizing city views as far as the eye can see filtered through endless walls of undulating glass. Striking by day and absolutely spectacular by night, this magnificent space is further enhanced by an 1,100 gallon exotic saltwater fish tank, which infuses this magical room with a sense of peace and tranquility. Just beyond, you'll find the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, ideal for staging dinner parties and large scale events with its 5-burner Wolf range, double ovens, professional Traulson refrigerator, side-by-side Miele dishwashers, and copious storage in custom cabinetry. A separate breakfast nook off the kitchen offers additional milled cabinetry, an ice maker, a 50-bottle Viking wine refrigerator, and access to an incredible terrace that wraps the entire residence. Off the entryway, a floor-to-ceiling door leads to the wood-paneled Library, with walls of built-in bookcases, a large flat screen TV, a wood-burning fireplace with limestone mantle, and an oversized solid slab marble desk offering inspirational views of the downtown skyline. Beyond this, you'll find the palatial corner Master Bedroom Suite, a sumptuous room fit for royalty, with Venetian plaster walls, custom milled cabinetry, and additional access to the residence's amazing terrace. The awe-inspiring views offer something new and exquisite at every part of the day, whether you are waking up to brilliant sunlight, or going to sleep to the magic that is New York at night. Nearby, a pocket door slides open to reveal a separate morning kitchen with sink and wine refrigerator, while a hallway leads to the ultimate luxury: magnificent his and hers dressing rooms with custom cabinetry and city views. The Master Bathroom is a serene sanctuary clad in floor-to-ceiling statuary marble, with double sinks, separate commodes, an oversized walk-in rain shower with custom fittings, and a Kohler Tea for Two soaking tub overlooking the terrace and the city beyond. A hallway made for an art collection separates the Master Bedroom wing from two additional guest bedrooms, both generously sized, bathed in light, and boasting full en-suite bathrooms. Unifying the entire experience is the enormous wrap terrace, offering staggering views of the Manhattan skyline, three landmark bridges, and the boroughs beyond.
Additional amenities include multi-zoned central air-conditioning, a large separate laundry room, a custom A/V system with keypads in all major rooms, and a state-of-the-art security system. All this, in one of downtown's most architecturally distinctive high rise buildings offering an unrivaled level of privacy and security, with 24-hour doorman, concierge, resident manager, private fitness center, and on-site parking garage. And of course, there is the location, at the crossroads of Greenwich Village and Noho and just steps from the Public Theater, Joes Pub, and some of the city's best culinary and cultural offerings. 445 Lafayette Street is truly in a league of its own.
