The impressive two-story penthouse in Manhattan’s Cast Iron House offers a luxurious retreat from city life—and the perfect escape for the holiday season.

Cast Iron House has been an iconic landmark in the heart of Tribeca since it was designed by W. Wheeler Smith in 1881—and it made headlines in 2017 when it was transformed into a luxurious boutique condo by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban. There are, however, only 13 apartments in the building and they rarely come up for sale. Recently, however, premium real estate agency The Corcoran Group listed a stunning duplex penthouse with interiors by celebrated designer Sebastian Zuchowicki for $14.95M.

"The standout features of the penthouse are the soaring ceilings and fully retractable sliding glass walls," says agent Dana Power. "It blends breezy California style indoor/outdoor living with the best of NYC skyline views."

Cast Iron House was originally built in 1881 and was recently transformed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban into a boutique condo with 13 residences—and the penthouse celebrates the impressive views over the New York City skyline with multiple terraces and ample glazing.

With five bedrooms and unbeatable views over the New York City skyline, the penthouse is the perfect home to host guests during the holiday season. It’s also located just moments from classic downtown New York holiday experiences—think ice skating at Brookfield Place, the dazzling Wall Street Christmas tree, and the Broad Street holiday markets.

The penthouse has four distinct terraces spanning more than 1,500 square feet, including one designed for al fresco dining, with an outdoor dining setting, lounges, and barbeque. Another terrace features a custom dog run for furry friends to enjoy.
