413 MONROE ST #500

Meet UX-413; a novel approach to urban redevelopment imagined and developed by local design+build firm Livingsystems™. This 2646 SF - 4 bedroom - 3 bath - private storage - private roof deck duplex home sits atop a brand new build, boasting an iconic living-facade that provides shading, privacy, and a beautiful natural aesthetic vibe from the outside-in and inside-out. The design and construction program was driven by the pursuit of LEED Platinum for Homes, Energy Star, and Zero-Energy Ready Home Certifications - the apex of healthy + high performance buildings. Green building assemblies and hardware include super-insulated wall construction, triple pane tilt-turn glass assemblies, domestically manufactured by Wythe Windows, maximizing natural light exposure while minimizing heat loss in the winter, Energy Recovery Ventilation units by Swegon that continuously supply filtered outside air, MERV 15 filter cassettes at each of the zoned heat pump air handlers to maintain peak indoor air quality throughout the home, and intuitive smart electrical panels by Span. The spacious and silently smooth Otis Gen3 Elevator transports you from the lobby level directly to your living space. Upon arrival you are immediately greeted by the sculptural, yet sumptuous honed-quartz kitchen island by Cambria perched atop the subtle natural grey wide-plank Bella-Cera hardwood floors. The Aran Cucine kitchen casework imported from Italy in the foreground flaunts a delicately textured look and feel while its sturdy 7/8” thick door construction conceals the integrated supersized refrigerator/freezer by Miele. The 42” induction range and double wall ovens by Miele make everyone a master chef. Curved ceiling and wall forms draw you down the corridor, passing the flowing white-oak staircase to your formal living/dining flex space adjacent to a private bedroom plus walk-in closet suite. The sleeping level layout was carefully composed to provide maximum storage capacity with a walk-in linen closet and multiple opportunities for additional custom storage built-ins. The secondary bedrooms provide commendable linear closet storage space while the primary bedroom boasts a natural-lit walk-in closet cove with lavish customization potential. All baths are adorned with European modern matte black fixtures by Hansgrohe, 24x24 imported porcelain Tile Bar floors and walls, Geberit wall-hung toilets, and custom built-in vanities and storage nooks crafted by local artisan Home by Alexander. Lastly, the private roof garden with breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. This is where the immersion of city life + nature all comes together; a must-feel experience that you can have everyday.
