This corner duplex is a true testimony to the "less is more" principal of Bauhaus design. A perfectionists dream, the elegant skin of this true loft-style apartment is spare, precise, and geometric. Nothing has been left to chance. The discipline of the design by Michael Watson belies the complexity of this intricately choreographed and finely crafted home. While the design may be minimal, the materials are exceptional. The finishes and amenities include: Honed Italian Absolute Blue Stone Porcelain tile flooring throughout; corian window sills; subtly floating walls; oversized pocket doors; recessed cove lighting; a fabulous main kitchen with black granite kitchen countertops, integrated Sub-Zero Refrigerator and additional refrigerator drawers, two Asko dishwashers; side by side wine coolers and ice maker; and a pull out pantry. The Master Bedroom Suite has an extraordinary dressing room and six-piece Master Bath. This streamlined residence is just full of surprises. There is a place for absolutely everything, and it is all cleverly hidden from view. Currently a showcase for a sophisticated art collector with a passion for entertaining, this flexible floor plan could be effortlessly transformed into a 4 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath family home. The upper level of the duplex is a pristine self contained open studio / workspace equipped with an additional kitchen, bath and built-in office, which could be modified to a 2 bedroom, 2 bath childrens floor. There is an additional 9th floor apartment of approximately 600sf that could be purchased for combination or utilized as a separate guest apartment. This Historic Landmarked Building is convenient to transportation, wonderful restaurants, the Hudson River Park and South Street Seaport and zoned for the coveted PS 234
