Property of the week: Richard Meiers’ New York Penthouse

In terms of life goals, a New York City penthouse is right up there. Owning a high-rise apartment overlooking one of the greatest cities in the world is somewhat of a dream for us here at The Gentleman’s Journal, and it looks as though we have a new favourite. This exquisite apartment, designed by Richard Meier, is damn-near perfect, and it’s being offered for the first time since its creation.

Located in the highly desirable West Village and with sweeping views across the Hudson River, the space covers an enormous 4,551-square-foot. There are 4 bedrooms and bathrooms in total, but it’s the minimalist design and quality of finishing that really marks it out as top brass. No expense has been spared on the property, and this is evident from the moment you step foot inside.

Open the front door and you’re met with a soaring great room, with 21-foot ceilings and a panoramic terrace overlooking the river and skyline. Elsewhere, the kitchen is pleasingly grand, featuring white cabinetry, Corian countertops, a Gaggenau convection oven and cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Dornbracht sink.

Each bedroom has been doused with the kind of stunning views you’d expect from a high-rise in New York. They also boast large walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms, perfect for entertaining guests or family. The jewel in the crown of the apartment though is the master bedroom, with its large skylight, floor-to-ceiling windows, luxurious bathroom and frankly enormous wardrobe. At $40million though, we’ll have to keeping dreaming, for now.
