Holiday Shopper Alert: Two Buildings, Ten Apartments, Something for Everyone

DECEMBER 12, 2012

December can be a confounding time for NYC apartment-hunters as well as sellers. On one hand there’s the advice that potential buyers who venture out during the midwinter season are more serious about the task, while others feel their properties might fare better in the spring and take them off the market. This year, the season reveals plenty of nicely-wrapped apartments to make your shopping time worth the effort.

At the new-to-market 345 Meatpacking condominium at 345 West 14th Street, five units await, including an I’ve-been-very-very-good-this-year 2,093 square-foot penthouse for $6.35 million and a substantial stocking-stuffer of a corner one bedroom with northern and eastern exposures for $1.75 million. The building, developed by DDG (41 Bond) features Italian bronze windows, private landscaped terraces and sweeping views of downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River. The building’s location among the city’s top galleries and shopping make this a great spot to ring in the new year.

Further uptown at Hotel Des Artistes at 1 West 67th Street off Central Park West, five more apartments join the festivities for buyers seeking a classic pre-war co-op. Built in 1915, the ten-story building–formerly the site of artists’ lofts and home to many a famous name throughout its history–offers a 24-hour doorman, a landscaped roof deck, a pool and a squash court. The available units range from the decked halls of a $5.85 million duplex with a 42-foot-long double height living and dining room to what may just be a great holiday deal: a one-bedroom duplex with a home office for $995k.
