Property Description
Magazine Worthy Penthouse condo in a stately 1879 building on the corner of Leavitt & Race boasts soaring, 11ft+ ceilings, skyline views & incredible light from tall windows on three sides! Enter this special home by ascending your personal (& original) staircase flooded with light from two large skylights overhead & arrive upon a wide open, 29 ft long living/ dining space anchored by a fireplace in the center & bookended by a turret with panoramic skyline views on one end & a large bay on the other. This dramatic space is magnified by the sunlight & views from 7 massive windows and the 10- 11 foot ceilings throughout. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area & is comprised of espresso cabinets, granite counters, a beautiful green glass subway tile backsplash & a suite of newer stainless appliances. The primary bedroom enjoys tall windows, a large closet & is en suite with a marble bath featuring a double- bowl vanity, a tub/ shower combo & a large window.

The guest bath includes a marble- clad walk- in shower. A gallery hall leads past the primary suite to a large, covered deck with three brick walls punctuated by a massive arched opening with an antique iron railing that would not be out of place in Tuscany!
