The Penthouse at 165 Charles, one of Richard Meier's masterful designs and one of Downtown Manhattan's icons, is being offered for the first time since its conception.

Situated in the coveted West Village and soaring above the Hudson River, this extraordinary 4,551-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bathroom, duplex residence is the perfect amalgam of minimalist design and grandiose scale, offering extraordinary light and space.

A grand entry gallery leads to the breathtaking great room, featuring dramatic 21-foot ceilings and wrapped by a private terrace of nearly 1,800 square feet, offering, year-round, a truly magnificent living and entertaining space.

The Meier-signature separate kitchen is sundrenched by its Southern exposure and features modern white cabinetry, solid Corian countertops, a Gaggenau convection oven and cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Dornbracht sink. The main level also offers a preferred split bedroom layout, with each of the three bedrooms completed with large walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. Every bedroom showcases incredible views of New York City.

The dramatic frosted glass staircase leading to the upper floor is lighted by a massive skylight and arrives at the stunning full floor master bedroom, with a spacious walk-in closet and a large and luxurious bathroom. This private and serene floor is an oasis of tranquility and comfort and offers unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River.

165 Charles won the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects 2005 Housing Design Award. It is a boutique full-service condominium building offering 24-hour doorman and concierge services. Other building amenities include a fully equipped fitness center with a 50-foot pool, a professional screening room, and a residential lounge. Included in this offering are three large individual storage bins and a private temperature-controlled wine cellar.
