Exclusive | Soon the NYC Penthouse list comes with rare outdoor skills, including more than a dozen birch tree

For those looking for an oase in the middle of Manhattan, a roof in the market will soon give its next owner more than a dozen birch tree, wild grass, a swimming pool and more.

Dreamy Aerie will ask about $ 5.99 million when it hits the market. It ranked first for $ 8 million last year.

The seller, the Tom O’SHEA technology banker, bought the unit at 119 E. 29th St., near Madison Square Park, for $ 3.8 million in 2013. He then hired the architect and interior stylist David Nosanchuk – who is also an artist – for strong renovation. Inspirations: Everything from the Museum of Modern Art Sculptures to the Metropolitan Museum of the Red Umbrella of the Metropolitan Museum for a drawn tent.

At 2,100 square meters, the settlement comes with three bedrooms and three baths, plus this magic roof with those birch trees with 20 feet high, two apple trees, a swimming pool at the end of infinity, a outdoor shower, a 15 -meter -high lime fire, a summer kitchen, a gray. a dining area. It is perfect for a shelter in the summer season.

Along with the trees, the 1,300 -square -foot roof is covered in a dizzying show of English IVY, passion flowers, pink and white mandevilla, borie flowers, acebia and morning glory. Long Hajakloa Aureola grass “Japanese forest” surrounds the trees. Nosanchuk also worked his magic in terrace night lighting.

The idea was to create an isolated, quiet forest attraction in the heart of the city, said O’SHEA, Managing Director of BroadView Capital.

“New York is warm eight to nine months of the year, and with fireplace, the terrace can be easily enjoyed throughout the year even in the rain, thanks to the tent,” O’SHEA said.

But “after 10 years and a divorce, it’s time for a change,” O’SHEA added, crediting Nosanchuk for “opening your eyes to see beauty”. Both remain friends, and Nosanchuk credit O’Seshea with “supporting his vision”.

Inside, there is a great room that leads to a kitchen of a chef, a library with a study and a main bedroom with a dress area and a insuite bath.

The building dates back to 1920. The conveniences include a gym.

List brokers will be Marlene Hamad and MacKenzie Kyle of Platinum Property.
