Listing description

Experience refined urban living in this extraordinary combined residence at the iconic White Building, ideally located at 105 S 12th Street. Spanning approximately 3,250 square feet across Units 202/203, this one-of-a-kind home seamlessly blends historic character with sophisticated modern upgrades. This expansive 3-bedroom, 4 full and 1 half-bath residence has been thoughtfully reimagined with both design and comfort in mind. Rich original Brazilian cherry wood floors run throughout, complemented by custom millwork and fully renovated closets crafted in matching cherry wood. Two striking spiral staircases have been transformed into architectural focal points, featuring a blend of steel and wood that echoes the home’s warm, contemporary aesthetic. The chef’s kitchen features premium finishes, including elegant Carrara marble countertops, a Wolf induction cooktop, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. A custom Vicoustic wall enhances acoustics and comfort, adding a unique layer of luxury rarely found in residential spaces. Nearly all bathrooms were fully remodeled in 2020, showcasing imported Scavolini fixtures and high-end finishes throughout. The layout has been intelligently redesigned to maximize flexibility. This includes converting the original kitchen in Unit 202 into a fully functional bedroom with its own bathroom ideal for guests or private living quarters. Distinctive design elements abound, including cast iron and glass French doors and a stunning 5x7 picture window that floods the space with natural light, creating an inviting and open atmosphere. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously curated residence in one of the city’s most sought-after boutique buildings where timeless craftsmanship meets modern luxury. (Seller to offer a 1 year pre-paid parking credit to be used at a local parking lot or garage of the buyers choice with an acceptable offer. )
