Above, the floorplan for the duplex at 123 West 15th Street, the crazy conversion (right) that has the neighborhood rioting. Described by a Curbed tipster as "wonka-riffic," they're certainly among the coolest floorplans we've come across in some time. According to the Corcoran listing, the duplex boasts 2,054 square feet, with an asking price of $2.995 million. Not too shabby, though the plan to put the bedrooms on a lower floor than the living space is an odd one.
In Fred Bernstein's NYT article on the building this past weekend, one neighbor described this here triplex penthouse as "an alien pod that landed on the roof." Sounds about right. The listing has not yet been added to the Corcoran new development page, but per Bernstein, it'll list for $6.6 million. We're not afraid to say that that's one hell of a master bedroom.
