As far as big-city residential real estate descriptions go, keywords like "wellness," "health" and "holistic" aren't regularly tossed around, but in the case of this sleek penthouse in lower Manhattan, they couldn't be more valid.

Located on one of NoHo's most exclusive streets, this 3,067-square-foot apartment was built with mindfulness as its core, offering sustainable elements such as naturally-sourced and reclaimed materials, goat milk-based paints, and innovative air and water filtration systems, all things that genuinely matter to hedge funder Jason Pickard, who has owned his penthouse home on Bond Street since 2013.

In addition to its pointed commitment to organic living, the space offers plenty of desirable attributes more commonly associated with a Manhattan penthouse, such as 14-foot ceilings, a sun-filled open-concept living room, and the property's pièce de résistance, a 1,200-foot bamboo-screened rooftop terrace that features a glass-enclosed family room, a home office that can double as a meditation space, and an outdoor dining area.

"It's almost like you're not in New York City," says Ryan Serhant, who is co-listing the property with Amy Herman at Nest Seekers International.

One aspect of the home that's not visible but key for a potential owner who, like Mr. Pickard is seeking wellness in every way possible, is the fact that every window and nearly every wall has been treated to reduce electromagnetic fields, areas of energy that surround electronic devices, by 98%. Additionally, Wi-Fi inside the home can be completely turned off using a tablet/smartphone as well as a convenient wall button.

As for why he's selling such a thoughtful property, Mr. Pickard says it's time for his kids to experience nature outside the city. "There’s no other place in New York I’d rather live ... It’s more about selling the lifestyle than selling the apartment for me."

The 3,067-square-foot penthouse includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a 1,200-foot bamboo-screened rooftop oasis.

Design Pedigree

Featured in "Architectural Digest," the home home has been gut renovated under the care of "Architectural Digest" Top 100 designer James Huniford, renowned Feng Shui Master Dee Kelly, and certified Building-Biology consultant Matthew Waletzke of Healthy Dwellings, while leading New York City landscape designer Roger Miller customized the rooftop space.

The building was originally constructed in 1904 and includes six stories and 18 apartments. It stands amidst a cluster of landmarked structures, which means the gorgeous downtown views won't be altered.
