Architectural Digest darling NYC penthouse lists for $5.5M

A glorious West Village duplex penthouse in a landmarked cast-iron building has hit the market for $5.5 million.

The home, which has been featured in Architectural Digest, is at 67 E. 11th St. It was designed by James “Ford” Huniford.

The two-bedroom, three-bath space features multiple sitting rooms and warm, neutral tones — mainly in grays, silver and whites.

At almost 3,000 square feet, the home also boasts a 1,000-square-foot private terrace. It’s a combo of three separate, one-bedroom duplex penthouses with terraces that were “painstakingly” combined into one cohesive loft-like space after individual units were bought over a 20-year period, says seller Jordan Shipenberg, president and CEO of Art Department, an artist management, production and creative content agency.

“It’s a true New York story,” Shipenberg told Gimme Shelter.

Shipenberg says he’s selling because he is working on a new Art Deco project on Venetian Island in Miami, as well as a pied-à-terre uptown — both with Ford.

“I’ve enjoyed the home immensely for well over 20 years, so change is good and exciting. It’s time for a new family to enjoy the wonderful home, outdoor space and location.”

Shipenberg bought the first unit in 1999, the second in 2005 and the third in 2019.

“Patience, patience and kindness to my neighbors enabled it all to happen over time,” he said, adding that “it was a no-expense-spared renovation down to studs and rebuilt from the ground up.”  

The home opens on the lower level with three separate skylit living and dining areas connected by light-gray, wide-plank oak floors. There’s also a minimalist chef’s kitchen and two floating staircases on opposite ends of the apartment that lead to the private bedroom spaces upstairs.

Built in 1868, the seven-story doorman building converted to co-ops in 1973. Building amenities include private storage and a common roof deck.
