Description

Rare, Architectural GemMagnificent, 4-story Cupola Penthouse in one of the most beautiful and historic structures in all of New York City. The majestic Police Building, designed by Hoppin and Koen in 1909, was designated a New York City Landmark in 1978 and converted into luxury apartments by Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects in 1988. This exuberant Edwardian Baroque palace is an Historic Landmark and the Cupola Penthouse is its crown Jewel.

Recently remodeled and masterfully designed, the Cupola Penthouse combines all of the modern comforts of today with the grandeur of a bygone era. The first floor has two separate wings, providing separation of private and public spaces. The North wing contains an oversized, eat-in kitchen with marble island, Viking range, Sub-zero refrigerator, additional undercounter refrigeration drawers, Bosch dishwasher and windows and skylights that stream in natural sunlight.

Adjacent is a formal dining room with silk sage green fabric panels and etched glass vintage sliding doors. A full size bathroom with a separate shower, a Dornbracht soaking tub and fixtures and a large, warmly lit media room with coffered paneled ceiling complete the first floor of this wing. One flight up is the enormous Master Suite, equipped with a massive walk-through dressing room, custom built-ins by California Closets, and a separate sitting area perfect for a library or home office.

The Master Bathroom is equally impressive with a Waterworks free-standing oval bathtub, glass enclosed shower, bidet and separate WC. A custom made mural by Artistic Tile, executed in glass sheets hand cut into black and white flames, covers an entire wall as a stunning work of art.The South wing has 2 en-suite bedrooms, a large family room with 23' high ceilings and architectural exposed beams, a fully equipped butler's pantry, a skylight with views of the Dome exterior, and a walk-in laundry room. With its own private entrance, the South wing is also ideal for guests.

Finally, take your own private elevator or a dramatic spiral staircase up to the Dome Living Room, a 32-foot diameter circular room with four large Palladian windows that offer 360 degree views of New York City. With 25-foot-high ceilings, a 7' Dahlia pendant chandelier by Charles Loomis, silver leaf concave ceiling, and a dramatic double height curved staircase with walnut treads and a custom balustrade, this room is the 'pice de rsistance'.
