Get ready to experience one of the finest rental listings ever to come available downtown! This museum-quality 5,500SF triplex penthouse loft will take your breath away with grand proportions, a sprawling 5-bedroom, 5-bath layout, and exquisite architectural details throughout. Renovated to the highest standards, this luxurious home offers three private levels each connected by a dramatic sculptural staircase complimented by a custom commissioned hand-blown glass suspension fixture, that is itself, a work of art. Step off the key-locked elevator and expect to be impressed! A wide entrance gallery lined with floor-to-ceiling closets leads to one of downtown's most magnificent entertaining spaces defined by 16-foot ceilings, skylights, gorgeous ebonized flooring, and brilliant light from a wall of double-glazed arched windows. Elegant white lacquered moldings and a wall of custom milled cabinetry add warmth and depth to the room, while a refined Murano glass chandelier hangs over the dining area further enhancing the sense of style and grandeur to this sophisticated home. The enormous state-of-the-art chef's kitchen is architecturally striking with its vaulted ceiling and coved lighting, and offers multiple work and seating areas. Clearly designed by one who loves to cook, this culinary masterpiece features deep quartzite stone countertops, endless custom cabinetry, gorgeous Ann Sacks tiling, and top-of-the line appliances including an 8-burner professional Viking range with hood vented to the outside, industrial-sized refrigerator and freezer with additional drawers, two dishwashers, double ovens, two sinks, and a 140-bottle Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. A separate windowed seating area is ideal for casual indoor dining, while nearby, a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors leads to the ultimate entertaining experience - a fabulous landscaped terrace with IPE wood decking, fully irrigated planter boxes, outdoor speakers, and a 54-inch Viking gas grill.

Back inside, the exquisite sculptural staircase leads down to the private bedroom wing of this elegant home, where you'll find four bedrooms and three meticulously renovated bathrooms. The Master Bedroom Suite is a sumptuous, light-filled sanctuary, with custom milled cabinetry and fully fitted his-and-hers walk-in closets. The luxurious en-suite bathroom is clad in Carrara and Thassos marble and features double sinks, recessed medicine cabinets, a deep Kohler Tea for Two soaking tub with built-in TV, and an enormous glass-enclosed rain shower room. The luxury continues on the top level of this extraordinary residence, where you'll find a sun-drenched lounge with wet bar, and a library with custom-milled cabinetry. Both of these rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto another enormous landscaped terrace with IPE wood decking and a rarity in New York, an outdoor shower. Off the library, pocket doors lead to a private Guest Suite with en-suite bath, clad in Carrara marble and with custom vanity and polished nickel fittings. A separate key-locked elevator entrance to the home's top level provides maximum privacy, and allows guests to come and go without disturbing the main residence below.

Naturally, you'll enjoy all of the luxury amenities one would expect from a home of this caliber, including multi-zoned central air-conditioning, a water filtration system, a large separate laundry room, endless storage, key-locked elevator entry to every floor, custom Lutron lighting on dimmes throughout, and a state-of-the-art A/V system with speakers in every room. All this, in a discreet and historic 19th-century loft building located right at the crossroads of Soho and the West Village, just steps from the neighborhood's best restaurants, cafes, and the Hudson Waterfront Park. Absolutely stunning!
