Description:

Designed by internationally acclaimed Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, 165 Charles Street is his third and final residential tower built on New York City’s coveted Hudson River. An iconic modern day landmark with fully finished interiors designed by Meier himself, the building was winner of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects 2005 Housing Design Award; a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Meier’s work. Now for the first time, the penthouse, an exceptionally stunning trophy property, is being offered for resale.

The sprawling four bedroom four bathroom residence spans over 4,500 square feet of sleek contemporary interior space and nearly 1,800 square feet of private wrap terrace providing the most spectacular water and skyline views. A gracious foyer gallery leads to a massive 30′ x 44′ great room with 21’+ ceiling heights floor-to-ceiling double paned windows that flood the space with air and light. The custom Meier-designed kitchen features white cabinetry, solid white Corian countertops and backsplash, a Gaggenau convection oven and cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Dornbracht sink. The lower level split bedroom suites each offer luxurious marble-clad bathrooms, large walk-in closets, and magnificent skyline views including the Empire State building and One World Trade Center.

The master bedroom suite is a retreat unto itself. Spanning the entire upper level of the home for maximum space, privacy and comfort, enjoy sweeping Hudson River and skyline views from the bedroom and spa-like windowed bathroom, as well as a large dressing room, fully built out for your convenience.

165 Charles is a 16 story 27 unit full-service luxury condominium completed in 2005.

There is also a 50-foot infinity-edge pool located in a double-height atrium. A private temperature-controlled wine storage unit and a large individual storage bin come with this apartment.
