Penthouse is Unveiled at the Laurel

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The spectacular full floor penthouse at The Laurel is now complete and on the market for $12.5 million. This gracious 4-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence is more than 4,000 square feet and features a magnificent bi-level terrace with an outdoor fireplace in addition to panoramic river and city views.

"This penthouse is truly one of a kind," said Jeannie Woodbrey, Sales Director at The Laurel.  "The views are extraordinary and the finishes are unparalleled. A home of these grand proportions and high design is a rare find. Simply put, there is no other residence on the market that compares to The Laurel's penthouse."

With private elevator access and direct entry, the grand foyer leads to a triple exposure great room and formal dining room. A sleek custom-designed double-sided limestone fireplace defines the space and elevates the design through its monolithic form. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the residence with light and showcase wide open river and city views. There are 12-foot ceilings and solid white oak floors throughout.

Together the two outdoor spaces total more than 3,000 square feet.

The master bath features a Zuma Collection soaking tub and a Vola polished chrome thermostatic shower set.  The room is finished in floor-to-ceiling white slab marble with a radiant heated marble mosaic floor and custom-designed marble trough vanity.  An integrated LCD screen inside the bathroom mirror completes the suite.
