T
he penthouse at 152 Elizabeth Street, a rare residential building in New York City crafted by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, has been listed for $35 million. This minimalist masterpiece spans over 5,600 square feet of interior space and boasts an impressive 3,200 square feet of private outdoor space.
Ando's signature blend of simplicity and precision is evident throughout the duplex residence, which features four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a range of luxury amenities. The building's raw concrete facade and serene reflecting pool create a sense of calm, while the interior design by Gabellini Sheppard adds to the understated elegance.
A private key-fob elevator opens onto a striking central staircase made from satin-finished stainless steel and honed Pietra Cardosa stone. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, and the landscaped roof terrace offers panoramic views of New York City, complete with an outdoor kitchen, granite soaking tub, and Ando's signature reflecting pool.
The residence also boasts rare automated valet parking and private storage, a luxury rarely found in Manhattan's high-end market. The interior design features Dinesen oak floors, dramatic glass-and-stainless-steel staircases, and Bianco Sivec marble-clad bathrooms with glacier-white Corian vanities.
A 52-foot-long great room anchored by a gas fireplace is the centerpiece of the first level, while upstairs, bedroom suites are upholstered with sound-dampening fabric for added privacy. The primary suite includes a private covered balcony, dressing room, and walk-in closet.
The building's exclusivity is underscored by its limited seven residences, full-time doorman, 24-hour concierge service, and discreet level of luxury often reserved for uptown ultra-luxury towers. Adam Modlin and Andrew Nierenberg of the Modlin Group hold the listing.
