Perched high above the City, this downtown penthouse straddles the first and second block of the building as it ascends College Street, with approximately 40% of the s/f on the top floor, and 60% five floors above the sidewalk. It features a rare 197 s/f penthouse terrace, overlooking breath taking sunset views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the west, and into the city and over the Follett house to the east. The interior was architect designed by the original owner and principal of TruexCullins, and further subtle modifications by the current/second owner continue the high-quality stewardship of the home. The 21.5' dining room features a barrel vault ceiling with an intimate seating/office nook on the south end with a double window seat, and hidden in-wall storage for electronics and library shelving. The 25' fireplaced living room features the iconic curved wall of windows, which is absent in other upper floor units throughout the building. Significant recent improvements include a new high-quality kitchen with Wolf range, new full & half baths with quality tilework and fixtures, new terrace door & decking, new hardwood flooring in the hall & bedrooms, & all new windows throughout. The highly secure building requires coded or remote access to all entrances, included the parking garage, which includes two deeded covered parking spaces, & a generous storage locker in the basement. Elegant, modern, and practical.
