This ELLE Decor featured full-floor penthouse is among Harlem’s most architecturally refined residences — a complete gut renovation conceived by New York and Paris-based design studio Re-A.D by Côme Ménage. Celebrated for its meticulous luxury craftsmanship and elevated minimalism, the home has received a nomination for the 2021 NYCxDesign Awards.
A private keyed elevator opens into a gracious foyer, setting the tone for the residence beyond. The home unfolds into a light-filled, expansive living room with nearly 10-foot ceilings and beautifully scaled dining areas designed for effortless entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling doors open onto a beautifully landscaped terrace, while a second private balcony adds to the experience, together offering nearly 700 square feet of outdoor space — a rare urban retreat in the heart of Hamilton Heights.
The custom chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a Wolf range and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, fully integrated with bespoke millwork. The corner primary suite features dual exposures and a balcony, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with radiant heated floors, Lutron-controlled cove lighting, and motorized curtains.
Every design element was carefully considered, from frameless flush doors with concealed hinges to the intentional absence of baseboards, creating a calm, gallery-like atmosphere rarely found in residential design. Indirect cove lighting throughout softly illuminates the interiors, enhancing the home’s serene and sophisticated character. Hand-applied lime-wash walls introduce a rich sense of texture, warmth, and depth throughout the home. Layered and finished by hand, the artisanal treatment creates a soft, textile-like movement that subtly evolves with the changing natural light throughout the day. A built-in Sonos sound system runs seamlessly throughout the home.
Additional features include HVAC, grill on terrace, in-unit washer/dryer, video intercom security Residents also enjoy an impressive collection of amenities, including a fitness center, bike storage, landscaped garden with BBQ area, roof deck, playroom, virtual doorman, keyed package room, and multiple shared outdoor spaces.
Conveniently located moments from the A, B, C, D, and 1 subway lines.
