561 Pacific

The Japanese-inspired designs revealed at 561 Pacific a ground-up Brooklyn condo development envisioned by ODA New York to transport residents out of the bustle of the city, and into the warmth of a calm, welcoming home. Rising 12 stories along the tranquil, tree-lined Pacific Street, 561 Pacific is an ode to Japan’s wabi-sabi design aesthetic. The project's architect, Japan-born Ryoko Okada, describes the concept as the celebration of the nature’s impermanence, finding beauty in the changing of the seasons. Her goal was to create an indoor-outdoor experience, from the common spaces to the private residences, that give inhabitants a front-row view to the life that takes place outside. The building features a sunken inner courtyard teeming with vines, a modern lobby encased in green walls and wood paneling, a stunning rooftop terrace and many exposures for private outdoor space. The private residences take the wabi-sabi concept to another level with oversized windows that flood each space with plentiful natural light. The finishes are warm and organic and honor the clean lines that are synonymous with Japanese design.

15 West 81st Street Unit 7H

Perched in one of the Upper West Side’s most prominent pre-war co-ops, this apartment is directly across the street from the Museum of Natural History, the Rose Planetarium, and Central Park, in one of the most sought-after locations in the city.

Located at 15 West 81st Street Unit 7H, it features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and comprises roughly 1,400 square feet. Boasting a classic Emery Roth layout, no detail has been overlooked, as the unit has been meticulously renovated to feature custom wood cabinets, grand closets designed by California Closets, and high-end appliances and fixtures throughout the kitchen and bathrooms. The master bedroom is another sight to behold: It’s a massive 273 square feet, has two walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom.  

The building is loaded with amenities. Those include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a bike room, and additional storage. Right out the door — literally — is the famed Museum of Natural History, and half a block down, Central Park. Some of the best dining and shopping options in the city are also within walking distance.

410 West 24th Street Unit 12J

This may just be the ideal New York apartment: it’s clean and modern, with a splash of pre-war charm, all at a very reasonable price.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit at 410 West 24th Street Unit 12J features beamed ceilings and original oak flooring — it blends a mint-condition feel with plenty of pre-war character. Owners will also love the sunny exposure to the building’s courtyard, large windows, and a kitchen that’s loaded with high-end appliances, including a Wolf range, Liebherr refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher — along with a marble island, countertops, and backsplash.

The apartment is situated on the 12th floor of the 19-story London Terrace Towers, one of Chelsea’s premier cooperatives, originally built in 1932. In addition to a slew of high-end, white-glove amenities, owners can enjoy access to a roof deck with insane river and city views, a state-of-the-art fitness center and gym, and even a half-Olympic size heated indoor pool.
