From Allouche Gallery to Lure Fishbar, New York City’s Mercer Street is brimming with hotspots for art and dining. Multimillion-dollar residences on the stylish Soho strip enhance the neighborhood’s offerings, providing residents with unmatched dwellings. A $17.9 million triplex penthouse listed with Taylor Middleton of Douglas Elliman is one such stunner currently up for grabs. But with its extraordinary features, it might not be for long.
Crowning a 1920s co-op with a cast iron facade at 87 Mercer Street, Penthouse B is designed by architect Tony Ingrao with an airy, indoor-outdoor layout. The turnkey residence offers four beds and baths, plus special features like two primary suites, a private gym, and a bi-level terrace crafted from limestone that offers a clear view of Herzog & de Meuron’s Jenga Building. There’s even more to discover beyond its fourth-floor elevator entry, if you can believe it.
Level one of the “townhouse-in-the-sky” sprawls out with a vast, loft-like great room that, at about 85 feet long, accommodates multiple living and dining spaces. From the foyer, an ethanol fireplace encased in slabs of polished stone anchors a lounge beneath ceilings over 10 feet high. Dark hardwood floors stretch over to the formal dining area, which sits opposite the chef’s kitchen. Stainless-steel appliances dot the culinary showpiece, next to a breakfast nook with backlights perfect for midnight snacking. A spacious media area completes the vast great room.
A small home office and a trio of en-suite bedrooms are also found on this level, including a junior primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. A staircase leads up to the second level, which is nearly consumed by the primary suite. Past a walnut-paneled library, the bedroom has wall-to-wall silk carpeting underfoot, a dry bar featuring Sub-Zero drawers, and a dual-sided fireplace shared with a cozy sitting area.
One floor up, a sunroom with a wet bar is the penthouse’s true crown jewel, spilling out onto the limestone roof terrace. The alfresco dining space for over 10 guests is accented by verdant landscaping and an outdoor kitchen, which is outfitted with appliances by Kalamazoo.

A wood-burning fireplace keeps things toasty after hours, and up a short flight of stairs, the upper roof gives you a bird’s-eye view of Hudson Yards, Hudson River, and Liberty Plaza. Sunsets are also made sweeter from inside a hot tub part of the space.
