About

perched atop a full-service prewar cooperative, this elegant six room full-floor penthouse is simply exquisite and unlike anything else currently on the market. it boasts an exceptional planted wrap terrace of over 1,000 square feet outfitted with motorized awnings, outdoor heating and sound, built-in grill, and a fully automated irrigation system. the interior is equally impressive and features all the details one hopes for in a prewar apartment. you enter the apartment via a private elevator landing that opens to a marble foyer. there is a corner living room with beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with carved marble mantle and two sets of french doors leading out to the terrace. there are two large bedrooms with a third smaller room that can be used as a home office or smaller third bedroom. the home also features a formal dining room, two zone central air conditioning, washer/dryer and 2.5 baths. every room gets spectacular light and has views of the planted terrace. a truly special offering.

Expert Opinion:
if the only terrace for this home was the wrap-around, it would already be exceptional, as it is almost 10 feet wide everywhere. however, the north terrace adds a level of practicality that is almost never seen in this building style.

Expert Opinion:
to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

Expert Opinion:
those mature arborvitae took years to reach that height, and they are doing serious work screening the neighbor sightlines. at ten and a half feet wide, this direct living terrace fits both a dining setup and a lounge area without feeling choreographed. a second level terrace adds another 30 square feet upstairs.

Expert Opinion:
a direct living setup at a workable width, furnished just right for two with city views toward the supertalls. that neighboring brick building sits close enough to share a wave, so this is more morning coffee territory than clothing-optional sunbathing. comfortable for a quiet drink, cozy for a party.

these terraces are not wide enough to host parties, but their view and connectivity make them perfect extensions of the interior.

Expert Opinion:
wraparound views of the upper west side skyline with the twin towers of the san remo standing in for a landmark. the paver terrace is dead empty, which is either a blank canvas or a cry for help depending on your disposition. direct living access, real width, and north-facing light that flatters everything but your tan.
