The Monarch Floor 45 New York, NY 10128

Coming to market on May 9th, there's absolutely nothing that rivals this stunning, one-of-a-kind Penthouse duplex at this price point. More photos to come!

A corner unit perched high in the sky, breathtaking views meet you at every turn of its lofty 2200sqft interior, and an additional 600sqft of private outdoor space a wraparound terrace on the upper level, and three balconies on the lower level confirm this property as one of those "often spoke of, but seldom seen" unicorns of Manhattan real estate.

With soaring ceilings and oversized windows, the eye stretches for miles, shifting between views of Central Park, the East River, the Hudson, George Washington Bridge, and the Long Island Sound. Flooded with light, you won't have to flick a switch until sunset, when the sea of city lights overtake the panoramic daytime views creating a magical dreamscape of New York.

The perfect home for entertaining, the 1750 sqft lower level has a remarkable fluidity of light and space. Featuring two entrances, the primary entry leads to an expansive Great Room, adjacent to a windowed pass-through kitchen with custom mid-century modern cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Just beyond, a 23' x 20' living room with a large corner balcony flows seamlessly into a 12' 5 x 19' dining area, also featuring a balcony. (The large dining area, originally a third bedroom, can easily be resurrected depending on one's desires.)

The second entry to the lower level gives direct access two large bedrooms, each able to accommodate a King-sized bed and more; one of which features a balcony allowing a private escape for sunrise coffee or late-night stargazing.

Two full bathrooms, as well as an oversized half bath which can be outfitted with washer/dryer hookups, are also on this level.

From the lower level, a spiral staircase ascends to the jewel that sits atop this crown of Manhattan real estate: a 450 sqft solarium surrounded by a 400 sqft wraparound terrace. The potential function of this exquisite, terraced glass house is yours to decide it could be used as a guest suite, a personal gym, a recreation room, home office, greenhouse, or an extension of the entertainment space below. Additionally, there's a large closet on this level which can be converted into an additional half bath.

Unlike anything you've ever seen, with its incomparable views, layout and light, beautiful custom woodwork and thoughtfully designed storage throughout, this is the kind of apartment that will prompt the slack-jawed question from all who enter it: "How did you find this place?"

Priced to move quickly and allow for the cost of any updating you might want to do, make your appointment today. Exceptional properties like this rarely become available, particularly at this price point: this is the apartment you'll want to call home.

Expertly managed, building amenities include: a full-time doorman, concierge, atrium pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and a state-of-the art fitness center. A garage in the building can be used for a separate fee. Convenient to transportation, as well as countless restaurants and shops, Whole Foods is only a block way!
