welcome back to the channel eric here and in this week's episode we are back in new york
city we're about to tour this 12 million dollar modern apartment normally in new york city if
you have a washer and dryer in your unit that's considered luxury this apartment has a swimming
pool in the apartment so make sure to stick around for the entire episode there's a lot to unpack
some stats on the home it's three bedrooms three and a half bathrooms just under 2 500 square feet
of interior living space with a 140 square foot outdoor terrace the apartment is located in one
of my favorite neighborhoods of hudson yards right off the world famous highland park this
floor actually has two apartments for sale 3a and 3b going each for just over 6 million dollars 3a
is actually on stage it's raw space but 3b is furnished and additionally if you want to buy
both of them you want to buy the entire floor it's going for just over 12 million dollars
i'm co-listing this one-of-a-kind apartment with one of the top agents at netseekers chester yao
this was inspired by sue k chan he's the architect developer of sui highline he also built sui bali
and so the current owners they fell in love with the finishes because he incorporated
a lot of the finishes and style very zen-like yoga feel wellness feel into this
development too so welcome to unit 3b here at surrey highline right off the elevator to your
own private landing here we have a nice closet space you know come in from the city put your coat
here your shoes because this is definitely a shoes off type of apartment and then from the landing we
enter the open concept living space we have double height 18 foot ceilings it's very rare in new york
city to have this much volume vertical now there's a lot to unpack in this apartment when you do
enter it is just all open space and this is the living room and the first thing i want to point
out and speak about is this oak paneling this is white oak on the wall from floor to ceiling
and it's worth stating when it comes to white oak the wider the plank the more expensive so as you
can see these are almost two foot wide planks of white oak going up the entirety of this wall
it's also very interesting because normally white oak is something you would find on the floor of
an apartment but here we have it on the wall and on the floors beneath us we have azul limestone
which is actually heated from beneath so like i mentioned it's a shoes off apartment you kick
your shoes off you heat up the floors get real toasty and then speaking of toasty we also have
the gas burning fireplace and this isn't just for a show this fireplace actually throws off heat so
it is functional and beautiful like chester was mentioning the architect wanted to really bring
that villa balinese style to new york city give it a modern touch and here we have surrey highline
now from the formal living area we're going to walk over to the formal dining room space where
we have this awesome marble table with seating for eight again these light fixtures these
waterfall light fixtures flowing down from the ceiling adding that dramatic effect mixing that
villa style with the modern new york city touch and also if you look across the room we have a
half floor glass mirror which also acts as a nice bounce when that light does shine in
so the lighting in this apartment is one of my favorite features the fact that the entire day
you get that natural sunlight even though this is a northern facing exposure and this is also
a full floor apartment so you do get that southern facing exposure at the back end of the apartment
then behind me here in the dining room we also have the floor-to-ceiling glass windows
and if you look that's actually a swimming pool in this apartment
you wouldn't really think in an apartment like this that there would be a swimming
pool but we'll get to that in a second for now let's head from the dining room to the kitchen
on the countertops we have this beautiful italian marble which waterfalls down to the floor we have
this nice dark oak and there are no handles on anything in this entire kitchen if you notice here
it's just a subtle lip and it's flush on the side which really adds to that minimal modern feeling
and i mentioned this in a previous video but the kitchen of an apartment that's really
how you can tell the age of a building is by the kitchen and the appliances
but i've been noticing in these higher end buildings how it's becoming more and more sleek
no handles and i really love that touch this is one of my favorite features of the kitchen these
white lacquer cabinets again just everything is so sleek you don't have any appliances out
and this is very unique if you open this up this is actually a trash compactor which if you live
in the city this right here is a luxury you never have to leave your apartment you put your trash
right in here down the chute it's all tucked away nicely we also have space above for storage
then making our way down again we have the pantry right here all hidden hinges handles soft closing
towards the end of the kitchen we have these suite of melee appliances i do love this the theme of
the mirror is throughout i've never seen a mirror in a kitchen this mirror is just purely for the
aesthetic so you can watch yourself cooking up a storm and behind me we have the refrigerator
this is a sub-zero again handle this seamlessly blending in i just i love the white lacquer i
think that really makes a just a minimal modern statement and then in the center of the kitchen
we have this island this is a chef grade stovetop this is a six burner cooktop by miele
over top we have the oversized hood with the recessed led lighting so you can really get
that nice light when you're chopping up your meal you're prepping we have the miele oven right below
and then on the sides here plenty of storage space in this island and now moving on from
the kitchen to the fun part i was actually blown away by this through this glass door
we walk out to your very own 20 foot long four foot deep private pool it's very hard to put this
into perspective especially if you've never lived in new york city to have a villa-like balinese spa
pool in your apartments with an infinity edge i do want to mention that this is a salt water pool
i was a swimmer actually and chlorine can kill your skin and your hair
heading on in from the pool i'm actually kind of bummed that i didn't bring a bathing suit
it is that tempting to have a pool in the city but we are back in the kitchen and i forgot to
point this out when we were here earlier there's this nice breakfast bar on the other side of this
island with these two stools makes for a nice moment you could sit here while someone's cooking
from the chef's kitchen we're gonna head down this hallway to the living space off to the left here
is the first powder room this powder room has that nice white oak wide paneling that we saw
in that living room we have this awesome inlaid shelving right by the toilet the main piece in
this bathroom is this floating vanity we have the full length mirror with the awesome recessed led
lighting behind really giving you that nice glow when you're looking in the mirror continuing on
down the hallway we're going to go left the master is off to the right but we'll save that for last
i want to point this out here this is the in-unit laundry washer and dryer with the nice shelving
storage above but again this is another luxury in new york city to have full washer and dryer in
your apartment off to the right from the laundry room we have the first of the guest bedrooms
and i want to point out that every single bedroom has an all and suite bathroom which is very
important especially in the luxury market we have the standing steam shower in this apartment there
were no details that were spared even you have this awesome full length mirror you have this nice
lip here right above the toilet floating vanity and i do want to point out even if you look at the
door handles they are clad in leather which just really it everything ties together and so nicely
to really drive home that aesthetic and one more thing i want to point out as always hidden hinges
another sign of a luxury place is when the hinges are hidden as the door shuts from
the bathroom we're gonna head into the first of the guest bedrooms which is a very decent sized
space for new york city i also love how they have this lip over on the ceiling and the lighting is
recessed behind this lip just giving it that nice aesthetic touch and if you notice there's actually
outdoor space for this bedroom which we'll get to in a second when we show you the master but
we're going to leave this first bedroom back out to the hallway off to my right we have the
second of the guest bedrooms again ensuite bathroom exact same finishes as that first one
and this is another decent sized bedroom there isn't a balcony here but you have the full
length floor to ceiling window i mentioned that this is a full floor apartment so here
now we're facing south and you can even see that natural sunlight coming in from this
second guest bedroom we're gonna now head back out into that main hallway and we're
gonna go all the way to this end where we have the primary bedroom suite here at surrey highline
the first thing you notice in this primary suite is this awesome closet space this is by polyform
it is metal with glass and if you open this up you have all that recessed lighting which turns
on automatically as you open your closet space imagine you have your entire wardrobe in here
all nicely lit so you can really see your outfits when you're getting ready for the day in the city
from this closet we have the king size bed front and center in this room again showing the size
of the space where you can fit a king size bed in this primary suite but the main thing that
i want to point out in this primary suite is the outdoor space here we have 130 square feet
of prime southern facing outdoor space and it's really interesting because this apartment
checks almost every single box as far as items that would characterize an apartment as luxury
and having outdoor space in the city is that last one to take in the fresh air
get that natural sunlight another thing also is you do have a nice view down below we have
an awesome courtyard if you even look off in the distance you can see the high line which
is one of my favorite places in the entire city it's one thing to have outdoor space in the city
it's another thing to have outdoor space that is kind of shut off from the rest of the city there's
no street down below it's residential it's quiet so heading back on inside from the outdoor space
walking past these polyform closets we're heading to my favorite room in the entire apartment i've
never seen a bathroom like this in the city welcome to the primary suite bathroom with 18
foot high ceilings now this is one of those signs again of a truly luxury building space when you
have double height ceilings in your bathroom this bathroom has a ton of details and we're going to
unpack every single one starting with this metal framed glass pocket door so for that aspect of
not necessarily privacy but if you want to have a barrier between the actual living
and sleeping quarters in the bathroom you have that so walking in first things first
i don't know if you've ever seen one of these but this is pretty cool this is a toto neo rest
smart toilet these things run just about 10 grand so you open this glass door you walk in
and your toilet greets you this toilet has so many features it has an oscillator
a pulsator a dryer and of course it even flushes if you look in the sink you have the
flush hidden drain these awesome chrome faucets which are floating in this glass mirror these
two huge led light columns giving you that perfect lighting when you're getting ready in the morning
right off the vanity you have this deep set freestanding soaking tub with this lip right
here to place your soap your phone nice glass of wine on the floors of this primary bathroom you
have that beautiful polished beige marble then if we walk to the other side we have the glassed off
steam shower we have the glass door with the metal handle right here also serving as a towel rack and
this is a nice feature especially if you are on the taller side we have the rainfall shower head
and then we also have the additional fixture right here even if you want it from your steam
shower if you look here we have floor to ceiling glass where you have a view of your swimming pool
where if you wanted you could open this door and jump right out of your shower or your bath
into your private 20-foot long salt water swimming pool in new york city that's pretty badass
