This $4.25M Village condo has a deck with city views–and a rooftop studio inside an old water tank

This breezy, modern two-bedroom condo at 12 East 12th Street has the pristine interiors, light-filled rooms, and dazzling views that command a $4,250,000 ask; a massive roof deck adds coveted outdoor space. But one detail that sets this Village aerie above its many competitors is revealed in an Architectural Digest feature: A sunlit studio space on the home’s top level was created inside a decommissioned classic New York City water tank.

With interiors designed by Messana O’Rorke Architects, this Greenwich Village pad has the contemporary upgrades you’d expect, beneath 12-foot ceilings punctuated by skylights. Extra luxuries include a gas fireplace, double-paned windows, central A/C, and plenty of storage throughout.

The combined living and dining rooms look out over the city from the Village’s Gold Coast. Adjacent is a sleek kitchen outfitted with stainless steel worktops. Appliances include a SubZero fridge and a four-burner Viking cooktop. A powder room sits just off the kitchen.

The primary bedroom suite includes a hallway lined with closets and a skylit, marble-clad bath. A second bedroom makes a perfect office or guest space.

Up a spiral stair of hand-polished steel is the aforementioned rooftop cabin with the 24-foot ceilings that defined its past life–perfect for a dazzling private yoga studio. There is central AC throughout the home, so your rooftop retreat stays cool

Outside the studio is a 1,000-square-foot private outdoor oasis, with city views in every direction. The roof deck is paved and landscaped, with a built-in irrigation system, lighting and speakers.

The 26-unit condominium building has recently updated the lobby and elevator. The prime Village location is just steps from Union Square Park with its famous Greenmarket.
