35 East 9th Street, Penthouse A

High above the city street, in a prime pre-war co-op, on a gorgeous Greenwich Village block, you’ll find the ultimate Manhattan hideaway: This spacious one bedroom with a sprawling wrap-around terrace perched where the skyline meets the sky.

The 10-foot ceilings and 11 huge windows framing three sunny exposures - east, south, and west - combine to create an airy space that seems to float above the rooftops. This secluded retreat has no shared walls; the ultimate in privacy. A triple-mint renovation was just completed and includes new electrical and plumbing, new hardwood floors, new windows, and central air conditioning. Boasting a high-end kitchen – Viking, Miele, Gaggenau - and a sleekly-tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower and a skylight, the interior alone is a dream-come-true.

And then: Step through the glass-paneled terrace door and out onto the private roof terrace, which runs the full width of the building. Take in the expansive views. The terrace wraps around three sides of the apartment and has plenty of space for lounging and dining, so go ahead and host that al fresco dinner party. Or keep this hidden gem all to yourself.

29-45 East 9th Street, just off University Place, is a doorman co-op that welcomes pets and pied-a-terre purchases. 65% financing is permitted.
