Welcome to the apartment 4R, the Penthouse of 227 34th Street. Designed for urban, nature-immersive living, this renovated two-bedroom, two-bath duplex features multiple private outdoor spaces, including a spectacular 400+ square foot upper-level terrace and garden and an additional 87 square foot balcony off the lower-level bedroom-creating a seamless connection between interior comfort and open-air retreat. Each floor enjoys expansive skyline views of Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. And the cherry on top: A PARKING SPOT is available for rent for $250 per month!
As you enter this welcoming home, you're immediately greeted by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. Built-in closets line the entry, offering excellent storage along with a convenient place to hang your coat and set down your bag. Bright and airy, the living area has plenty of room for both dining and relaxing while taking in the views. Custom millwork frames the living room and kitchen, creating a sense of separation while still keeping an open, connected feel.
The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with custom soft-close cabinetry and shelving, a quartz waterfall countertop, and premium appliances including a Bosch integrated gas cooktop, oven, and dishwasher, along with a new refrigerator with an icemaker. There's generous workspace and storage throughout, along with thoughtful details like a vented range hood, under-cabinet lighting, a built-in filtered water faucet, and a garbage disposal.
Tucked discreetly behind the chalkboard wall just off the kitchen is a full-size, vented Electrolux side-by-side washer and dryer.
The first-floor bedroom is spacious and bright, with room for a king-sized bed. A large closet with a custom organization system offers great storage, and the room opens onto a sweet private balcony-an ideal spot to enjoy a quiet morning or evening. A fully tiled bathroom on this level features Hansgrohe fixtures and a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead.
Up the modern staircase is the second bedroom, currently set up as a den and home office, along with a second full bathroom finished with clean, modern fixtures and a deep soaking tub. . This Japanese-inspired minimalist space features custom millwork and provides access to the beautifully designed rooftop terrace and garden -the true jewel in the crown of this lovely home.
The rooftop terrace feels like a true escape. Finished with Italian pavers and custom cedar planters, and supported by an automated drip irrigation system, it has been thoughtfully cultivated into a lush, established garden with fruit trees, seasonal vegetables and herbs, and a variety of flowering plants that change with the seasons. It also draws birds and pollinators, adding to the sense of calm and greenery.
Throughout the home, you'll find wide plank white oak floors, motorized smart window shades, a smart lighting system with dimmers, and Mitsubishi split-system AC for year-round comfort.
With just seven units, this well-managed elevator condo offers a 421-A tax abatement through 2041. The building is pet-friendly and includes individual basement storage.
Located in Greenwood Heights, just off Greenwood Cemetery and close to the shopping, dining, and creative energy of Industry City, the home also offers easy access to the N, R, and D trains at 36th Street, just two blocks away.
