This designer-detailed penthouse co-op in the part of the East Village that was once known as Alphabet City embodies funky downtown living with high-end luxury appeal. Atop a pre-war building at 224 East 7th Street, surrounded by the neighborhood’s vibrant street life and charming community gardens, this two-bedroom home features interiors by Leyden Lewis Design Studio. Asking $1,950,000, the penthouse is all about modern comfort, while providing a visual feast of stunning materials and finishes.
The 1,400-square-foot duplex–once four separate apartments–is anchored by a leather-wrapped floating stair that divides the home’s two levels. Throughout, smart upgrades like reclaimed maple floorboards, an integrated sound system, central air conditioning, and sound-canceling tilt-and-turn windows elevate the home’s livability and good looks.
Below 13-foot ceilings and a massive central skylight, the lower-level living space features a wood-burning fireplace. This south-facing lounge space looks out over one of the neighborhood’s charming private parks.
A design-lover’s dream kitchen features bespoke steel cabinets and Paonazzo marble worktops. Chef-worthy appliances include a SubZero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a vented Bosch range, all seamlessly integrated into a compact galley space. A dining area is tucked beneath the stairs.
Also on this floor is a small, brick-clad bedroom with plenty of East Village charm. This level gets a stylish bathroom with a Toto soaking tub.
Upstairs, you’ll find a light-filled office/media room with a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of sunlight. The primary bedroom is graced with a custom walk-in closet. This stylish suite also gets a windowed bath enhanced with a steam shower and finishes of glass tile and volcanic stone. There is an in-unit washer-dryer for added convenience.
