Brown Harris Stevens

Welcome to your new, gut renovated home, located in the Penny Lane building - a former ice cream factory, with a fairytale lobby and full-time doorman. This apartment has all the features of a detached home in the burbs, but is right on the boarder of Gramercy and Kips Bay. Enter into a private foyer, highlighting the over 11' ceilings, custom lighting and wide plank, engineered, oak flooring. In the foyer, floor to ceiling glass doors conceal the custom closet, with enough adjustable storage for suitcases, shoes, boots, summer and winter clothes - no more trips to storage, although there is additional storage available in the building for $100 per month. The building also offers discounted parking in the garage below and can be accessed with a private elevator key. Laundry is located conveniently right outside the unit. The apartment features an enlarged bathroom, Kohler fixtures and built-in storage, with slide-out shelves for towels, toiletries, laundry. It has a vented fan for steamy showers + AC/heat vent. Custom HVAC provides central air and additional heating in all areas of the apartment. The loft reveals additional ceiling height and gives options for a workspace, sleeping area with a queen-sized bed, extra storage - all accessible via a library ladder. The library ladder can be moved to the kitchen rail to access top-level cabinets, or moved above the sliding doors to open the custom windows for fresh air without leaving doors open. For privacy, there is a custom, floor to ceiling, blackout shade. The bright kitchen is meant for easy entertaining: an enormous island, housing a wine fridge and seating area, a coffee bar area with 9' of additional counter space and storage, wireless, under cabinet lighting with hidden outlets and USB charging hubs, a pot filler above the stove. The Bertazonni appliance suite features a 6 burner range/convection oven, externally vented range hood and refrigerator with automatic ice maker. There is a full sized, concealed Bosch dishwasher and sparkling, white, quartz countertops. Quartz also tops the built-in, electric, fireplace in the living room. The shiplap feature wall is ready for mounting up to an 80 television. The living room is large enough for an L-shaped, sleeper sofa. The custom bookcase in the kitchen is perfect for displaying cookbooks, granola take-away from Eleven Madison Park, located just a few blocks away, or spices collected from Kalustyan's, also in the neighborhood. Push the bookcase open and reveal a quiet, hidden office! The desk can be left completely set up when pulling down the built-in, queen-sized murphy bed behind it. The large, private patio is just on the other side of the building's covered bike storage area ($50 per year). The patio has enough room to BBQ and enjoy dinner outside, has electric and a hose bib and is ready for your outdoor TV. Or choose to enjoy the renovated roof deck with city views and seating areas. This property allows subletting, co-purchasing and parents buying. Prime location with easy access to 4,5 and 6, N/R trains and bus lines and quick access to FDR for travel in and out of the city.
