Amid the glorious jungle of cast-iron castles that predominate in Manhattan’s chic SoHo neighborhood there are a few new buildings that have burst onto the scene in the last few years. One of the most striking is an 11-story modernist structure at 15 Renwick Street in historic Hudson Square that offers a one-of-a-kind mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, townhomes with actual yards, and four duplex penthouses. Interestingly, Renwick is a one-block street—one of only a handful in the city.
Along with three generously proportioned en suite bedrooms on the lower floor, this 2,859-square-foot penthouse, PH2, offers three private terraces with a total of 1,344 exterior square feet. Anyone who has prowled the halls of top-shelf New York real estate knows that having private outdoor space of your very own is a treasure like no other. The rooftop terrace here boasts multiple seating areas, wide-angle city views, a pergola, a kitchen, a Lynx grill, a Balboa hot tub, and—yes—an outdoor shower.

From the entrance gallery, the duplex opens to a grand open-plan living room with three exposures and floor-to-ceiling windows measured by the yard. A French door opens to a south and east-facing terrace with plenty of room for cocktails in comfy chairs as well as a full dining table (the third terrace is off one of the downstairs bedrooms). The formal dining area features a working fireplace, and the newly renovated kitchen offers more of those big windows, a center island with seating, Poliform Varenna cabinetry, marble countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele, Dacor and Foster.

Along with playful European-inspired interiors, other architectural and design features in the stylish penthouse include Waterworks fixtures, wide-plank hardwood floors, 10-foot-plus ceilings, radiant-heated (and fully renovated) bathrooms, and smart-home technology that controls the shades, lighting, HVAC, and audio/video, as well as the irrigation and lighting for the outdoor spaces.
Don’t miss the showroom-worthy dressing room with custom Poliform cabinetry in the light and bright primary bedroom suite. The marble-clad bathroom here features a pair of sinks, a luxurious bathtub, and a separate oversized shower.
To reach that rooftop oasis, look for the windowed staircase on the upper level. It’s chilly out now, but let’s at least take a peek at that outdoor shower and imagine warm evenings in the hot tub.
