o
you ever walk past those Modern Luxury high-rise apartments that all dot the
wests side highway of New York and wonder what would it actually be
like to live there well that is exactly what you're going to see in this video
so this is what it's like to live like a hedge fund billionaire here in New York
City
so the elevator dropped us right into the apartment where we have something pretty
unique you have a huge door here which Pockets into the wall and goes flush so you could have
it open where the elevator leads right into the apartment or we can close off this room entirely
and make it almost like a mini mud room where you have all your closet space take off your
shoes hang up your coat things like that but keeping this shut into the wall for now let's
actually enter the apartment where we had the 4A right off of the elevator this is the Hub
of the home you can see we've got the wing to the South here with the kitchen the bedrooms all that
this is a four bedroom 6,300 sare ft full floor apartment let's check out this space so again
like I mentioned this is the Hub when you first enter right off of the forier here's your first
powder room and it has a Toto toilet which has all those automatic features the spraying the lights
the cooling the heating all that full mirror here on the wall I love the modern feeling it's very
wide four powder and this is for all your guests when when you have people over this is the family
room and there's a lot going on here that I'm going to break down first and foremost you've
got this gas fireplace right in the center here which actually connects to the room on the other
side which is a really nice design feature this is your study your music room whatever you want
to call it and the main feature in here the views Florida ceiling glass windows with views to the
north you've got Hudson yard smack right in the middle of this room Empire State Building all of
Chelsea here looking up town especially in a day like today where you've got those beautiful blue
skies the city really pops and that's what makes a place like this so unique and special like I live
in New York I'm a New Yorker I've been here for 10 years and this is the kind of place that when
you buy a place like this you're buying it for that view that exists nowhere else in the world
except right here you've also got views of the Hudson River this is pretty sweet as well you've
got the Westside Highway snaking through between a soccer field and then the foliage of the actual
Hudson River Park barges moving down the river helicopters all that and something I want to
point out bringing us back in from the views is a lot of times in these modern spaces you have a lot
of harsh edges here everything is rounded so even the window panes if you look down from the floor
to the window has been rounded and if we take our tension up then we have a floating ceiling
with an LED light inlaid in there so it feels like I mentioned a lot softer a lot less harsh
more livable and you definitely get the feeling in the space got some built-ins here beautiful
bookshelf lights all built into this woodwork here overall just a really nice room that I mean I find
it inspiring having a view like this like this is what it's all about in New York in that Penthouse
life this the entire city at your fingertips but making our way back through this space again You'
got doors so you can close this off if you want but I like it open I think most people would
agree to that off of your library sitting room this is the main formal entertaining room here
and now we're getting into the good stuff here look how big the spaces again you've got that
gas fireplace which again passes through the wall into the library so you're sharing that fireplace
in two spaces we got the Florida seiling Glass with the northern views and now we've got the
West views of the Hudson River and all you see in this room is water it feels like you are literally
just popped above the Hudson River and it's one of those experiences where the city kind of Fades
away where you get the views of the city but none of the noise none of the nonsense I mean you're
paying a premium of 40 million bucks so you've got this whole wall which is glass which opens
up with this cool brass framing here which leads out to your Western facing loia here with that
open air view of the Hudson River we're actually right above the West Side Highway so if you look
down you got all the people sitting in traffic getting done their jobs because the reality of
the situation is when you can't afford a place like this you are making money while you sleep
for multiple streams of income if it's something you want to see in another video about the actual
buyers who purchase these places and the type of wealth you need comment down below so I just
wanted to comment on that for a second in no way is owning a $40 million apartment supposed
to be an indicator of Happiness if anything right now life is tough the elephant in the
room for everyone watching this is that life is tough for the past 4 years life has been really
weird it just has been things really haven't gone back to normal and I've been seeing a therapist
for the past year and a half and I have to say it has enriched my life in ways that I I didn't
really know we possible a lot of you watching are men and I know that it is it is it can be
seen as a sign of weakness to want to reach out for help and speak to a therapist and I am here
telling you truthfully that there's no weakness in reaching out for help one of my biggest hurdles
was to realize that I'm not alone and it's okay to ask for help I feel like just based on how I
grew up I had a very head strong I can figure this out I don't need you and working with a
therapist really opened up my mind that there are other ways of moving throughout the world there's
other ways of seeing things and I can truly say that speaking to a therapist has changed my life
and the goal of better help who's the sponsor of today's video is to make therapy number one
affordable but number two accessible so it's all remote and speaking with a therapist is a
lot like dating you're going to go through a lot that you're not going to connect with and that's
okay because when you do find that person that you feel you can put the guard down and finally open
up it is the most freeing cathartic feeling in the world and I've been working with better heel for
some years now and it is a company that I support I support therapy I think everyone should see a
therapist and with that I want to thank betterhelp for sponsoring this portion of the video I'm going
to give you a code to sign up down below here in the description again better help thanks for
sponsoring this video and with that let's check out the rest of this Penthouse and then we've
got our Northern views so you can actually pop around here stick your head out and you actually
have open air views now of the entire north and east of Manhattan there with the Hudson River I
mean again like I mentioned this is a prime day to be showing this place just because we've got
that sunlight we'll head back inside keeping this shut so again this is your great room moving back
on into the foyer and the one thing that really sticks out is the volume of this place it's much
larger than the street easy pictures but off of the foer welcome to your Gourmet Chef's Kitchen
here in the formal Chef's Kitchen the main feature is this beautiful pristine white Italian milk
glass countertop you've got natural oak cabry by maltini and a dramatic piano shaped island
on the flip side of the island we have seating for four here with the view right there you actually
can see the Statue of Liberty from your kitchen which is pretty unique and then I want to talk
about this this is a floating stainless steel vent here with glass and steel rods boled into
the ceiling here behind me here you've got your built-in Subzero refrigerator built right into
this wall this is pretty cool built in storage space but yet there's a pot filler in here how
unique is that because in a space like this since this is floating typically the pot filler would be
on some wall here and I think that's a nice use of the space to hide that pot filler but still have
the option of having the pot filler you've also got tons of built-ins in the island got your melee
oven here all this custom woodwork on the edges where we have dishwasher built in here garbage
all that big trough sink here built in and then we've got the dining room open concept I want to
point out these because these are so unique this is actually a computer chip chandelier here these
are all computer boards with LED candles at the top at night time this looks insanely pretty from
the dining room we've got your family room and I actually love this area cuz I feel like this
is the most practical area you have a big meal everyone's relaxing You' got your couch all this
mil work here with your built-in TV entertainment and all that good stuff this is like the Hub of
the house the actual Hub because I feel like these three areas you would actually be spending
the most time in but let's keep on going there's still a lot of house to see I also want to mention
that everything is automated so the blinds are automated throughout the day they will actually
drop with the level that the sun is at in the sky so when we came into the house the blinds
were halfway down to block out that Sun from us but connecting right off of the kitchen this
would be your prep kitchen so we have countertop storage space here a larger oven this would be
your industrial refrigerator freezer here this is Subzero get a little peak of that we got all the
mill work here covering the cabin tree all nice and beautiful Pantry storage space on this side
and then again these pocket off and I do like how they have that so if you did have an event
and say you were catering you could hide them back here and have everyone do the the cooking
and bring it out to the main room but all for this prep kitchen this is the billiard's room here with
a very modern looking pool table front and center with the steel edges here cool light fixture over
top and I love this art here have you actually noticed that when you walk past it creates the
illusion like people walking through the scene so from your rec room here we're going to actually
go to the bedroom wing of this Penthouse but first the owner of this place actually turned
this into his office these are two bedrooms which have been combined to make one office where you
could have like five employees in here like this is properly fitted out for one two three like six
monitors here and there's actually a telescope in here this is actually pretty wild I mean like
I mentioned your entertainment literally is your view you have the entire city moving all around
you here and I just want to break down some of this woodwork because I'm guessing this was all
added for this office space cuz you wouldn't have this in a bedroom but this is all built-in
custom mill work here which is currently empty I don't think this office has been used but you can
imagine working with a view of the Hudson how Serene this would be this would be a fantastic
office I'm going to save this for later this is actually your Southern loia but we'll check that
out in a second I do want to point this out you do have a bathroom so we weren't lying this actually
was a bedroom here's the onsuite bathroom kind of wild because when again when you have a place like
this you're working all the time and when you're not working people are working for you so from
the office we're actually now going to move into the proper bedroom Wing like I mentioned there's
four bedrooms here so this is the kind of main hub for the bedroom space here off to my right
this is the first guest bedroom really decent size again 12 1/2 ceiling so it feels Larger
than Life in here then you got these views look at the view of the Empire State Building from
this bedroom to see that when you wake up in the morning that's invigoration right there
that's inspiration motiv ation and then actually let's show this this is an onite bathroom tons of
mirrors everywhere your typical bathroom standing shower and because we are saving space now pocket
door I hate to say saving space because we're in like a 6,000 ft Penthouse but we've got the
pocket door built-in closets here back into the main Hub we have another guest room on the flip
side which is basically a mirror image of the one we just saw but let's show off those views
again because that's what this is oh wow look look at that there's actually a cruise ship coming in
off the Hudson that's what I meant about like the city is your entertainment from this bedroom now
I'm going to show you the good stuff actually on S bathroom just take a little quick look in there
just to point out it's nice to have but behind these two doors here this is the owner's wing of
the penthouse where we have an entering hallway all this custom mill work here I'll show you the
closet off the bat and like I mentioned every everything is automated so this time of day the
shades automatically drop to that level to block out the Sun from your walk-in closet which also
has access to the southern Loa which connects the length of this southern part of the house
here so now again you can get out into the open air here actually smell the Hudson this the air
smells very good today if that's a that's a thing from your walk-in closet across the hallway when
I saw this for the first time this is the nicest bathroom in New York City look at this this is the
owner's bathroom with a glass wall overlooking all Northern Manhattan so this is a five piece primary
bathroom with radiant Luna black granite floors it's got a custom core in that dual vanity with
integrated lighting there it's got a beautiful freestanding soaking tub with those city views and
could you imagine brushing your teeth with that view of the Empire State Building like I think
that's the coolest thing is these mirrors play off of The View so heavily and then we haven't
even talked about this check out this shower so it's glass enclosed it's a steam shower you
have the window over top to let out or keep the steam in and then coming on in here it's almost
like you're in a little Club the ceiling slopes downward you've got a rainfall shower head a
speaker in here a nice little bench and everything is all controlled right here from this panel you
got some shelving another mirror and then all the controls here this is all frosted so you have the
privacy but yet you can see over the frosted glass and still get your view from the shower
right here out of the owner's bathroom back into the hallway at the end of the hallway let's check
out the owner's bedroom look at this space glass everywhere another Corner Room so you've got now
those Southern views and the Western views along with your Eastern and Northern views there's a few
unique things about this apartment one is the fact that you have sunlight and pretty pretty
much every single room two is the fact that we are built on an angle so you almost have
four exposures North South East and West in every single room and here in the owner's bedroom bam
You' got the entire Kingdom Here Northeastern views of all Manhattan you've got the Empire
State Building Chrysler Building I like this view maybe even more you have all of Chelsea you can
even see the leaves are changing this time of year picturesque Chelsea heading towards the southern
end of the room this is your Southern Terrace and your Southern Loa which connects the whole
southern end of the apartment so if you pull way back you can see how large this Terrace is and I
love how it's coated in Gold those gold accents give it a very Gilded Age reminiscent feeling in
a very modern building but again those views of the Hudson River to the South your Sunset
and now we have the entirety of the city on this corner moment here on the Terrace where
you really do just feel like you're the king of the world here in Chelsea so comment down
below if you were worth hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars would you call this
Penthouse home let me know down in the comments below and with that I'll see you in the next
video
