With a spectacular location on the edge of SoHo, Nolita and Little Italy, this highly unique, four-story dome penthouse offers the discerning buyer the opportunity to purchase one of the citys most historically preserved luxury residences, with incredible 360-degree views of the city skyline. Heavily influenced by Parisian and turn-of-the-century architectural styles, this home embodies the perfect balance between elegant living and historic character. Upon entry, the foyer seamlessly connects the original penthouse residence to the newly-joined adjacent residence that serves as a living space for staff or a private family wing, inclusive of a separate kitchen. Identical double skylights and two large windows, providing fabulous light and great downtown views to the main chefs kitchen. Adjacent is a formal dining room with sating walls and etched vintage glass doors, the nearby media room and bar area provide ample space to relax.

Doors were added to the master bedroom for privacy and the landing area is used as an office space. The third-level, the Dome room, is the pice de rsistance of the residence, with two-levels of endless entertaining opportunities. Massive, arched Palladian windows are complemented by a ceiling height soaring over 25-feet and dramatic panoramic views of city.
