Listing Notes

Located on the top floor of the sought after Armory cooperative, this rare and newly renovated three bedroom duplex boasts stunning views of Manhattan from its private rooftop terrace. Upon entry, you're immediately welcomed by an expansive living space featuring an open kitchen, graciously sized living and dining areas, and solarium windows paired with extra high ceilings lining the entire northern end. This wall of windows allows light to flood in and illuminate the home while enhancing charming features such as the hardwood herringbone floors and spiral staircase. The finely-designed and renovated chef's kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry and lighting, GE Cafe appliances, Caesarstone countertops, tile backsplash, and a large Caesarstone center dining island and breakfast bar with additional storage. Additional highlights on the main floor include two bedrooms, one of which enjoys a solarium wall and another which could easily be utilized as a study. Custom built-ins with shelving, and chandelier lighting throughout. The chic design continues into the bathroom which is complete with copper detailing, subway tile, and custom shelving. Ascend upstairs to find the large primary suite and private north-facing rooftop terrace with open views to the west. The rooftop is essentially an outdoor living room - room for a barbecue, lounge area, and dining area, and is already equipped with an outdoor entertainment center. Host a movie night, create a garden, relax outdoors, or stargaze! Built in 1929, The Armory is an exceptional full-service building featuring a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, roof deck, laundry on every floor, and a renovated lobby. Located on West 42nd Street off Tenth Avenue, this residence is just a short distance away from Hudson River Park, the Highline, Broadway theaters, and some of the world's best dining. The private rooftop terrace is currently inaccessible due to construction. Access is expected at the beginning of 2027. The owner is offering one month free as a concession.
