Located on Broadway in NoHo, the open and airy apartment was built with a commitment to sustainability [1] – the philosophy behind Blesso Properties [2]. Complete with an original mural by artist Doze Green, the kitchen and living room are flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. FSC-certified wood runs throughout the apartment and the gorgeous hardwood floors. The master bedroom is encased in glass, furthering the light feeling, but with a flick of a switch, the glass turns translucent, giving privacy to those within.

A staircase leads to the vibrant roof, and is surrounded by plants that climb around a living wall [3]. On the roof, visitors can enjoy a dip in the hot tub that overlooks the East Village, or cook a feast in the outdoor kitchen. Multi-leveled decks seat guests, while lush greenery surrounds them. The gradated roof above the staircase is planted with edible herbs [4], creating a Garden of Eden in the sky.

Why would Blesso want to leave such a beautiful place? To create something new of course. The lucky buyer can inquire about the property through the Corcoran Group [5].
