50 Orchard Street, Unit 7A

Go Back To Previous Page

Exceptionally Rare. Trophy Home.

Welcome to 50 Orchard Street, a boutique luxury condominium in the vibrant Lower East Side.

7A is a full-floor, private, keyed-elevator penthouse offering exceptional privacy and scale.
This one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1467 square feet with maple plank hardwood flooring throughout. Two private outdoor spaces, including a 584-square-foot private rooftop.
There are so many large, deep closets here, plus a private storage room (not a cage) in the basement.

Enter via your private keyed elevator into a spacious, sun-filled living and dining area, plus an alcove area (den or office) framed by a full wall of windows showcasing dual exposures, a bright open city view, and rooftop views.

The layout comfortably supports multiple seating areas along with a full dining area, allowing for seamless everyday living and entertaining.

The cutting-edge Euro-designed kitchen is both thoughtfully designed and highly functional, centered around a substantial butcher-block island.
It features a 5-burner SMEG gas range with hood, Samsung refrigerator and dishwasher, farmhouse sink, Carrara marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, extensive custom cabinetry and drawers, and a laundry closet with a stainless-steel LG washer and dryer.

The lengthy hallway offers a deep, double closet and leads to the bedroom wing. The oversized primary bedroom accommodates a king-size bed and includes two double closets, a private balcony, and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub. The second bedroom, also king-sized, offers open city views and features a large closet, custom bookshelves, and a desk nook. The second full bathroom is generously proportioned with a glass-enclosed custom-tiled shower.

A proper internal wood staircase leads to the private rooftop sanctuary, where the current owners have created a fully realized outdoor space with electric and running water, finished with pavers. The rooftop includes a large seating area, dedicated dining space, and a fully built-out outdoor kitchen with grill, refrigeration, dishwasher, and running water. A dramatic living green wall serves as a striking focal point.

What sets this home apart is the rarity of an outdoor space of this scale that functions as a true extension of the residence. The layout allows for clearly defined entertaining and dining areas, an offering that is exceptionally uncommon in a condominium, especially on Orchard Street.
With generous proportions and existing infrastructure, the rooftop also allows for further customization, including the addition of a projection screen for outdoor movie nights, heaters, and more, tailored to a future owner’s lifestyle. Opportunities for this level of private, usable outdoor entertaining space in the Lower East Side are extraordinarily rare.

50 Orchard Street is a boutique condominium with 26 residences, built in 2003, offering convenient access to the B/D, F, and J/Z trains, and located at the center of the Lower East Side’s most sought-after residential and lifestyle corridor.

Orchard Street between Broome and Hester is one of the Lower East Side’s most sought-after blocks, valued for its chill weekends, zoning protections that limit nightlife, and a rare residential vibe in the heart of downtown Manhattan
