BY
DESIGN
Designed
to a tee inside and out by Richard Meier, 165 Charles Street,
on the Hudson waterfront, is swank, stylish and sumptuous.
Among the half-dozen or so homes still left (all with river
views), are a 2,356sf 2BR with library or dining room for
$5.15 million, and a 2,541sf 3BR for $6.05 million. Meier
design highlights include superb kitchens dressed in his custom
white Corian, and bathrooms featuring his custom-carved Corian
sinks, matching walls and curbless floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed
showers. For relaxation, head to the fabulous 35-seat screening
room to watch a favorite film (the same sleek leather seats
are also found at Meier’s Getty Center). For recreation,
take a swim in the infinity pool which shimmers inside a 25ft
high atrium space with celestory windows across the top, a
water wall on one side, and glass walls overlooking the fitness
center and the residents’ lounge (with its own catering
kitchen).

THE

“The
modern lifestyle available to residents in historic, architecturally
rich Lower Manhattan makes for the ideal urban experience,”
says Eric Deutsch, president of the Alliance for Downtown New York.
“The area has undergone an amazing transformation in the past
decade, evolving from a 9-to-5 business district into a 24/7 neighborhood
that offers a wide variety of services, restaurants and entertainment.” |
