Some homes just make you want to pause right at the entry and take a breath. That is what happened to me with this four bedroom penthouse at 15 Hudson Yards in Manhattan. There is this feeling, almost like stepping into a cloud above New York City, with soft light everywhere and the river stretching out in front of you. When you ride the elevator up to the near top of the building, you get a little sense of anticipation before the doors even open. Then the views pretty much steal the show.
This penthouse covers over three thousand square feet, but honestly it just feels even bigger in real life. The great room surprised me with the way the windows wrap the whole space, pulling the city and the water right inside. Sometimes you look down and see the streets and the river moving slowly in the distance, and it is easy to lose track of time just watching.
The kitchen is the sort of place you could see yourself actually cooking with friends or family. Not just a spot for show. The central island feels sturdy and big enough for real life stuff. Everything is fitted out with top Miele appliances, but the vibe is warm, not cold or flashy. The ink colored oak cabinets stand out and I had to run my hand along one just because the finish is so smooth. You get Italian marble and stone all around, which sounds fancy but it somehow feels understated. It mixes up that city edge with a softer touch.
Bedrooms here are each an escape of their own. Three of them have their own bathrooms, so no awkward waits in the morning. The master suite is on its own end of the penthouse, and stepping in kind of feels like entering a private pad above the world. There are two walk in closets that could hold more than most peoples entire wardrobes. In the master bath, you get heated stone floors, soft lighting, and an oversized soaking tub set near the window so you can linger in the water and watch the sky change color at sunset. There is something about it that makes you want to just stay a bit longer.
On chilly mornings the heated floors in all the bathrooms make it that much harder to rush out. Sometimes you almost forget your phone. The color design with dark wood and white marble gives everything a peaceful contrast. It is the sort of mood that works whether you are hosting friends for dinner or just heading home late and wanting quiet.
Living at 15 Hudson Yards is really about being close to everything but never feeling crowded. You can see nearly all of New York from up here but outside on the street you have shops and restaurants by chefs like Thomas Keller and Jose Andres. Kids play below in tree shaded parks. Sometimes I spot people just strolling with coffee or shoppers carrying bags from new stores. There is a huge wellness floor if you ever feel like a swim or a workout and a spa if you need a bit of downtime. I loved standing by the big indoor pool window and just watching the city while the sun bounced off the building across the way.
There are also places to work, hang out, and play games, so even if you have long days or kids or guests everything just fits. The Imagination Center is a bright spot for little ones, and the Vessel is sort of a sculpture and plaza where people gather. Sometimes you will see people walking their dogs or meeting for lunch nearby. The world is at your feet but honestly it just feels easy.
