“In terms of location, 325 West 13th Street cannot be surpassed,” said Josh Najjar, who along with business partner Michael Petrillo, developed the property. “Since the Meatpacking District in not zoned for residential buildings, this is the closest penthouse on the market to the sough-after neighborhood. Just steps from historic cobblestoned West Fourth Street, residents will truly live in the center of the action in NYC, yet will also appreciate the peacefulness of a private penthouse with amazing views.”

Najiar and Petrillo have previously collaborated on a 12,000 square-foot mansion in Greenwhich Connecticut and specialize in small, exclusive projects and unique custom design work. They brought their combined expertise and masterful skills to 325 West 13th Street, a building more intimate than typical condominiums, with each residence individually and exceptionally crafted.

Designed with a discerning and sophisticated buyer in mind, the penthouse features a spacious south facing, sun drenched living room with stunning wide plank Mahogany flooring and a gas fireplace. The home has an additional 1,500 square-feet of outdoor space including four terraces and a completely private roof top with fully-protected and unobstructed West Village views. A second floor Butler’s pantry with direct roof access makes the space especially convenient for outdoor parties and gatherings.

A large open kitchen features soft sage granite countertops, stainless steel backsplashes, custom Mahogany cabinets, and state-of-the-art appliances including a Sub Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Viking range, Miele dishwasher and Grohe stainless steel faucets.

All of the home’s custom-designed bathrooms are outfitted by Waterworks, touting simple luxuries and a classic and refined style. The natural elements of marble, stone, glass and wood are combined to create a timeless elegance, accented by a beautiful handmade tile. The Guest baths features retro style JADO faucets and Waterworks vanities in a deep espresso color with the most cutting edge TOTO toilets and a tub shower combination.

The Master Suite bathroom features a lavish Mr. Steam shower with body sprays and an inviting Pistachio Limestone seat, a deep soaking tub that luxuriously accommodates two adults, and hydronic heated flooring. The adjoining Master bedroom features a large, private terrace with river views and deeply spacious walk-in closet.

The contemporary building has a distinctive tinted glass façade, enhanced by classic white limestone and black marble. Residents enter through a masterfully-appointed lobby of stone and glass. The residence is serviced by Virtual Doorman, and consists of seven full floor residences, each with keyed elevator access, and privacy. Aside from the penthouse, the building is fully occupied, housing an eclectic mix of international residents.

“Large spaces like this are extremely hard to find in the West Village, aside from single-family homes. This is a rare opportunity to find great space, in a fantastic neighborhood, and we’ve had interest from both local families looking for the ideal home, and from international buyers looking for the perfect pied-a-terre. 325 West 13th Street is a small building, built and designed with extreme care by small developers. Nothing is standard packaged or cookie cutter in design; the kitchen and bathrooms haven’t been bought in bulk. All of the tenants have kept the homes as they were delivered because they are already so individually characteristic,” said Michael Bolla, the property’s exclusive broker.
Penthouse residents will enjoy the quiet beauty of the West Village, and the vibrancy of the Meatpacking District, with its bustling nightlife, designer boutiques, and hip eateries. Local hotspots like the Gansevoort Hotel are just down the block, and beautiful outdoor spaces like The Highline park and the river are also nearby.
