Peek Inside This English Country Home–Inspired Penthouse in One of Manhattan's Oldest Skyscrapers
Have you ever wanted to live in a historic landmark? Now's your chance. A top-floor penthouse apartment just listed for $2 million inside Manhattan's historic Liberty Tower in the Financial District, spanning the entire floor and offering an array of views from the Hudson and East Rivers to Wall Street Canyon. Plus, it has the smart yet stylish feel of a historic home in the English countryside.
This prewar building was designed by Henry Ives Cobb and first opened in 191o as one of New York City's only skyscrapers at the time. The Gothic-style building is full of architectural features and adornments that evoke the style of centuries past. Liberty Tower was designated a city landmark in 1982, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and received a preservation award from New York Landmarks Conservancy in 2010, serving as a true piece of living history.
The apartment's foyer opens up into a grand living space with a wood-burning fireplace, an office, several cozy nooks, and a home theater. There's also a separate dining room adjacent to the kitchen that's suitable for formal and casual dining as well as entertaining. Thanks to the home's dozen windows that allow for southern, western, and eastern exposures, these spaces are full of natural light.
The apartment features two bedrooms and baths, with the primary bedroom suite housing a custom closet system and double vanities in the bathroom. The second bedroom also has an ensuite and is currently being used as a library.
Other amenities of living at this distinguished Liberty Tower address include: hardwood and marble flooring throughout, 24-hour doormen, and a stellar location. Oculus, Eataly, Brookfield Place, and many subway lines are just steps away.
This Liberty Tower penthouse is listed with Richard N. Rothbloom of Brown Harris Stevens and is available for tours by appointment only. Those interested can also experience a video tour online before visiting in-person.
