Welcome to this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse located in the historic Forward Building—an iconic Beaux Arts masterpiece built in 1912 and thoughtfully converted to condominiums in 2006. Fully renovated in 2012, this home beautifully blends timeless architectural elements with modern finishes, offering a truly unique and luxurious living experience. Spanning approximately 1,330 square feet, the residence features a bright and expansive living room stretching over 24 feet, with six oversized windows framing panoramic views of Seward Park, the Empire State Building, and the Williamsburg Bridge. Sunlight pours in through its northwest exposures, highlighting the elegant oak hardwood floors, intricate crown and base moldings, and a curated mix of recessed lighting, chandeliers, and sconces that accentuate the home’s historic charm. French glass doors on both bedrooms further enhance the flow of natural light throughout the space. The gracious primary suite offers serene park views and abundant storage across three custom-built closets. The en-suite bathroom exudes luxury with Ann Sacks tile, a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower, and premium Kohler fixtures. The second bedroom, privately situated on the opposite side of the home, features a custom closet and a one-of-a-kind art installation by celebrated New York City artist Jordan Betten. The windowed eat-in kitchen is equally impressive, featuring original tin ceilings, Carrera marble and quartz countertops, and high-end appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator and Bosch oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A second full bathroom, Bosch washer and dryer, and a separate service entrance are located just off the kitchen for added convenience. Additional features include central heating and cooling and a cozy gas fireplace in the living area. Residents of the Forward Building enjoy 24-hour doorman service, refrigerated lobby storage, video intercom, bike room, central laundry, and a beautifully landscaped rooftop with panoramic 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline.
