Ang Penthouse A sa 21 East 12th Street ay nasa pinakatuktok ng isa sa pinakamapino at maingat na idinisenyong gusali sa Greenwich Village—dinisenyo ni Annabelle Selldorf, na ang arkitektura ay nakikilala sa katumpakan, pagpipigil, at pambihirang pino nitong pag-unawa sa aktuwal na pamumuhay ng mga tao. Damang-dama ang sensibilidad na ito sa buong tahanan: sa mga proporsyon, materyales, paraan ng pagdaloy ng liwanag sa loob, at walang putol na ugnayan sa pagitan ng loob at labas.

Ang mismong tirahan ay may lawak na 3,249 square feet sa dalawang palapag, at napaliligiran ng 969 square feet na pribadong terasa sa tatlong panig. May tatlong silid-tulugan, tatlo’t kalahating banyo, at isang pasukan na nagtatakda ng tono para sa lahat ng kasunod—isang foyer na may dobleng taas at isang eskulturang hagdanan na agad nagpapahiwatig sa lawak ng tahanan mula sa unang hakbang.

Umaabot nang halos 32 talampakan ang Great Room sa ilalim ng liwanag mula sa hilaga, na may buong dingding na salamin na direktang bumubukas sa terasa at katabing espasyo para sa kainan. Sa timog na bahagi, bumubukas ang kusina at breakfast/media room sa ikalawang maluwang na terasa—may sapat na espasyo para sa isang buong hapag sa ilalim ng bukas na kalangitan. Nilagyan ang kusina ng custom na cabinetry ng Valcucine, Sub-Zero refrigerator at wine fridge, dalawang Gaggenau dishwasher, at vented cooktop sa ilalim ng hood na dinisenyo ng Selldorf Architects, kasama ang speed oven, double wall oven, at mga kabit ng Waterworks sa buong kusina.

Sa itaas, nasa timog at silangang sulok ang pangunahing suite, na nag-aalok ng malalawak na tanawin ng downtown Manhattan. Nauuna rito ang isang dressing room bago ang marble bathroom na may limang fixture at maiinit na sahig. Dalawa pang silid-tulugan sa hilaga—bawat isa ay may sariling banyo—ang kumukumpleto sa palapag, kasama ang service entrance at washer/dryer sa loob ng unit. May Juliet balcony ang lahat ng tatlong silid-tulugan at ang pangunahing banyo, na nagbabalangkas sa mga tanawin mula sa bawat silid.

Makakapal na tabla ng white oak ang sahig, may custom na electric shade, at four-pipe HVAC system sa buong tahanan—isang bahay na idinisenyo para sa kaginhawaan sa buong taon pati na rin sa estetika.

Nag-aalok ang 21 East 12th Street ng doorman na nasa serbisyo buong araw, isang landscaped resident lounge na may outdoor grill, fitness center, playroom, at paradahan sa mismong gusali, ilang hakbang lamang mula sa Union Square.

Penthouse A at 21 East 12th Street sits at the top of one of Greenwich Village's most considered buildings - designed by Annabelle Selldorf, whose architecture is defined by precision, restraint, and an uncommonly refined sense of how people actually live. That sensibility is felt throughout: in the proportions, the materials, the way light moves through the home, and the seamless connection between inside and out.

The residence itself spans 3,249 square feet across two floors, wrapped by 969 square feet of private terrace on three exposures. Three bedrooms, three and a half baths, and an entrance that sets the tone for everything that follows - a double-height foyer and sculptural staircase that announce the scale of the home from the very first step.

The Great Room stretches nearly 32 feet under northern light, a full wall of glass opening directly onto the terrace with an adjoining dining space. At the south end, the kitchen and breakfast/media room open onto a second expansive terrace - room enough for a full table beneath open sky. The kitchen is outfitted with custom Valcucine cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, dual Gaggenau dishwashers, and a vented cooktop beneath a hood designed by Selldorf Architects, with speed oven, double wall oven, and Waterworks fixtures throughout.

Upstairs, the primary suite anchors the south and east corner, taking in sweeping views of downtown Manhattan. A dressing room precedes the five-fixture marble bath with heated floors. Two additional bedrooms to the north - each ensuite - complete the level, along with a service entrance and in-unit washer/dryer. Juliet balconies extend off all three bedrooms and the primary bath, framing views from every room.

Wide-plank white oak floors, custom electric shades, and a four-pipe HVAC system run throughout - a home built as much for year-round comfort as for design.

21 East 12th Street offers a full-time doorman, landscaped resident lounge with outdoor grill, fitness center, playroom, and on-site parking, down the street from Union Square.
