The penthouse with three bedrooms, two bathrooms boasts of 35 feet of main living space which includes a kitchen fitted with a double oven, five-burner range and a built-in espresso machine as well as dining and lounge areas along with a wood-burning fireplace. 
The master suite which is lined on at least two walls with stunning, matchbook pattern wood paneling includes a dressing hall lined with wardrobes, a laundry closet with full-sized machines and a windowless bathroom with poured concrete two-sink vanity, ebony tiled walls, a heated towel rack and a glass-enclosed multi-head shower.
An open-tread switchback staircase ascends to a small lounge that opens to a 200-plus-square-foot private terrace with outdoor shower space.
While one of the family bedrooms has a custom-built Murphy bed, the other features corner windows and floor-to-ceiling built-ins with low enclosed storage and open shelving.
