This one-of-a-kind penthouse condo offers a rare opportunity to own the only residence in the building with a private rooftop terrace, with the potential for a second terrace just off the primary suite. Soaring 20-foot vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows showcase exposed natural brick, filling the space with light and framing striking views of Onondaga Creek, downtown Syracuse, and the iconic Franklin Square water tower. Sunrises, sunsets, and city lights become part of everyday living in what the owner calls the best views in Syracuse. The kitchen was thoughtfully remodeled in 2020 with sleek black countertops, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances, including a Viking Pro-style six-burner gas range, wine chiller, warming drawer, and dishwasher, along with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and built-in microwave. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat featuring two spacious closets, access to the rooftop, and a spa-inspired bath that brings luxury into the everyday. Also on this level is a guest suite and a gas fireplace, with space for an additional living area, gym, office, or library. The third level features a balcony and the incredible rooftop terrace. The privacy, ability to entertain, and never-ending views are sure to impress. Upgrades by the current owner include over $20,000 in custom motorized blinds by Automate, offering both sun protection and insulation and fully integrated with HomeKit, Alexa, and smartphone control. More than 60 smart bulbs throughout the condo can be programmed by tone or mood, creating effortless ambiance at the touch of a button. Additional updates include a freshly painted interior and a recently refreshed terrace, ready for its next chapter. Secure indoor parking for one vehicle and storage units are included, along with gated outdoor parking and EV charging stations. Building amenities include elevator access, a trash and recycling station, and full exterior maintenance for streamlined, easy living. Located in the heart of Franklin Square, just steps from Ava Gardens, the Creekwalk, and downtown, this penthouse is an exclusive offering for those who value style, privacy, and the art of living well.
