165 Duane Street PHDE

Designed to acсommοdatе both grаnd‐ѕcale entertаіnіng аnd evеryday living, Residence PHDE is as functional as it is beautiful. With 3,321 square feet of interior space, 824 square feet of private outdoor space, four bedrooms, three baths, and an extraordinarily low monthly carrying cost, this home has the rare combination of old New York character and a distinctly modern point of view. A dramatic 30-foot original exposed brick wall runs through the home, bringing texture and warmth to modern architecture. Two skylights pull sunlight deep into the rooms, while custom details and craftsmanship reveal themselves gradually rather than all at once. The spaces have room to breathe, and the mix of materials, vintage character, and contemporary design gives the apartment a feeling that is sophisticated without being precious. The rooms are generous, connected, and designed for actual New York living: long dinners, quiet mornings, working from home, working out, disappearing upstairs for a little rest. A dedicated home office/gym adds flexibility, while the spectacular roof garden gives the home something increasingly rare in the city — your own piece of sky for gardening, entertaining, or quiet reflection. The building itself sets the tone before you ever step inside: a striking Romanesque Revival brick façade built in 1881, crowned by a mansard roof, the kind of old New York architecture that simply isn't built anymore. An efficient and effective Board, coupled with ground floor real estate income, contributes to the building's low carrying costs and long-term sustainability. A home with this much space, character, and outdoor living is unusual. A home with this much New York soul is even harder to find.
