On a high floor of the Ralph Thomas Walker-designed Art Deco Walker Tower at 212 West 18th Street, this 2,428-square-foot two-bedroom condo residence has the elegance of pre-war architecture as well as peerless modern luxury. Dramatic Manhattan skyline views are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows or beheld from a 440-square-foot private terrace. Asking $11,995,000, the home’s gracious proportions easily allow for the creation of a third bedroom.
Thoughtfully crafted design details are supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure that includes radiant heated floors, hand-laid French herringbone oak flooring, Crestron home automation, Nanz hardware, ultra-quiet central air conditioning, and a dedicated ventilation system.
Highlights of the custom Smallbone kitchen include limestone countertops, Dornbracht fixtures, a wine cooler, a Viking induction cooktop, double wall ovens with a warming drawer, a Miele speed oven, and a built-in Miele coffee system. There’s plenty of room for gathering, with more options in the living and dining areas just beyond. In summer, bring the dining experience outdoors onto the south-facing terrace.
The home is currently configured with two large bedrooms. A corner primary suite enjoys both southern and eastern exposures. The marble-clad primary bath has a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub, a steam shower and heated towel racks.
A second large chamber gets access to the balcony; both have generous closet space. The apartment was originally configured as a three-bedroom home; the option exists to reconfigure it according to your needs.
Residents of Walker Tower enjoy exceptional amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a library lounge with a pantry and bar, refrigerated storage, a children’s playroom, bike storage, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with a yoga studio and sauna. Residents also get use of a gorgeous landscaped rooftop terrace with dining, lounge, and entertaining areas all surrounded by dazzling Manhattan skyline and Hudson River views.
