Early this morning, the world’s most famous meteorologist delivered the most-watched weather forecast of the year. Using expert scientific analysis and cutting edge data, he triumphantly announced his conclusion: spring will come early. This meteorologist’s name, of course, is Punxsutawney Phil (not to be confused with our CEO, Phil Lang).
With good news and good weather on the horizon, we at Julep took it upon ourselves to find the listings flush with enough natural sunlight to always spot your shadow. Our criteria was simple: listings overflowing with unobstructed natural light, a roof deck, or balcony. Check out these gorgeous apartments before others spring on them first.
This unique two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse condominium is nestled in the heart of the West Village. At first sight, two adjectives immediately come to mind: open and airy. With effortless design savvy it is as secluded as it is sophisticated. Dark hardwood floors flow throughout and soaring ceilings create a feeling of weightlessness when accented with luscious streams of sunlight. Take a stroll up the custom designed staircase that graciously ascends to a private corner 800 sq ft curated roof terrace, the piece de resistance, and portal to the New York City Skyline. During the warmer months, quintessential views pave way for good friends and good conversation, outdoor living and dining. The only obstacle to finding your shadow is the whim of the clouds
The corner master bedroom is cloaked in natural light encapsulating sweeping city views, the ideal place to greet your shadow as your rise for the day. A second queen-sized bedroom is tucked away but does not shy away from dramatic city views and rich sunlight. Constructed with an interior designer’s touch, this home exudes warmth and serenity, the perfect place to unwind or entertain friends. 155 Perry is an intimate condominium conversion in a historic building built in 1920, mere walking distance to a bevy of neighborhood restaurants, boutiques, the sunny High Line, the new Whitney, and dramatic Hudson River sunsets. This is city living at its finest.
Rarely does a two-bedroom two-bathroom unit featuring double exposure in the highly sought after neighborhood of Boerum Hill come on the market. But this gem did. Even more special, this home has underwent a stunning, complete renovation designed by the bSTUDIO architectural design firm, which will be featured in two separate publications in 2016 (Living in Style and High-End Apartment/Condo Renovations). As soon as you enter the space you will be captured by the attention to every single detail, from a sleek and modern kitchen profile featuring Bosch integrated appliances with an integrated oversized two-door GE refrigerator to an island featuring an open layout to the living space. Throughout the entire home there are solid oak floors and 10’4 ceilings. Light cascades the oak floors through two oversized windows facing the beautiful shared interior deck in the living room.
In the mood for a longer winter? There are top-down bottom-up window shades along with a translucent privacy film on lower half of each window for complete privacy or a flood of natural sunlight depending on the occasion. In the living room and both bedrooms there are exposed, sealed, and painted brick walls. Both bedrooms feature Citiquiet windows with 10 air pockets for complete silence. What does this mean? Lots of natural light streams in without any city sounds.
This gorgeous one bedroom apartment, located in prime Chelsea, features charming tree-lined street views from the bedroom and living room, high ceilings, and an abundance of closet space. The windowed kitchen is equipped with full-size stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, shelving and pantry closet. This unit comes furnished with a queen size bed and nightstands, fully equipped kitchen (cookware and dishes), flat-screen TV, large couch, and dining table with chairs. Most importantly, 130 West 16th is equipped with an expansive and gorgeous roof deck. Located mid-block, this picturesque deck commands views of the New York skyline, a variety of high-end boutiques, Chelsea Market, The High Line, amazing restaurants, cafes, 24-hour delis, and a Whole Foods.
An expansive apartment fantastic for entertaining. Its biggest perk: floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the unit. As such, light floods in from all angles, soaking every surface and amenity with bright sunlight. Another result of the expansive windows is a breathtaking panoramic view of the New York skyline. In addition to the gorgeous light, this unit comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen furnished with top-of-the-line appliances including Viking range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Conveniently located in the heart of the lower Upper East Side,
For our illustrious meteorologist client, we found the perfect off-market listing: all of Central Park. Built and designed specifically with groundhogs in mind by Frederick Law Olmstead in 1854, this unit takes unfiltered natural light to a new level. 843 acres large, and on the ground floor, it represents truly groundbreaking ceiling design: no ceiling at all. Thanks to this innovation, the only limiting factor to unobstructed natural light is weather itself.
In all seriousness, these are four of TripleMint‘s favorite listings. We hope you enjoy the nice weather and join our crossed-fingers for an early Spring. And if you’re looking for a new home flush with natural light, the TripleMint team is well-equipped to find you that dream apartment.
