234 West 20th Street

This award-winning design was described by the American Institute of Architects as a "simple, Modernist gesture that complements and enriches the original building." Formerly unremarkable and combined with the building next door, this architectural gem now stands proudly on its own with the addition of two sleek triplex penthouse apartments with private terraces. Blesso Properties designed the interiors in-house, which include custom-crafted Italian cabinetry, wood-burning fireplaces, wide-plank oak floors, and Italian glass vanities. Construction of this addition was complex and staged over several years as work was done around existing tenants. Once on the market, the penthouse units sold immediately and fetched the highest per-square-foot price ever for five-story walks up in New York City.
