About This Home

Where Sunrise Meets Sunset. Where City Meets Sky.

This extraordinary one-of-a-kind penthouse features an approximately 1,100-square-foot wraparound terrace with east, west, and north exposures. Enjoy sunrise views over the East River and sunset views over the Manhattan skyline. With three access points, the terrace provides effortless indoor-outdoor living and outstanding river and city vistas.

The living room is a showstopper in scale and sophistication, framed by oversized east and west facing windows that flood the home with extraordinary natural light. The soaring 12-foot ceilings and open loft-like proportions bring a downtown sensibility to one of uptown's most beloved neighborhoods.

At the same time, every detail reflects timeless elegance: herringbone oak floors, solid mahogany doors, and classic crown moldings, a nod to New York's architectural heritage, while the expansive layout supports modern living at its best.

The formal dining room, gracious enough to seat ten comfortably, flows seamlessly into a windowed kitchen with direct terrace access. The terrace is fully equipped with irrigation and lighting, setting the stage for lush greenery, evening lighting, and the perfect outdoor atmosphere for gatherings.

This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home offers privacy and proportion in equal measure. The penthouse occupies the top floor with just one other residence, ensuring peace, quiet, and exclusivity.
