The Penthouse is an enchanting light-filled aerie with four exposures and terraces with mature plantings, multiple seating and dining areas, has extraordinary views of the East River, the Manhattan skyline, the Queensboro Bridge, sunrise and sunset, and July 4th fireworks.

The Penthouse is situated in a coveted white glove building designed by eminent architect, Emery Roth in 1931, and embellished with delightful art deco details. A private elevator landing opens on both levels of the Penthouse, which has a 37’ grand scaled south facing living room on the top floor with woodburning fireplace, soaring 12’ ceiling, crown moldings, four south facing windows allowing brilliant sunshine and river views, and doors opening to the huge landscaped wrap terrace with extraordinary views in four directions, and perfect for entertaining. A private elevator landing on the lower floor of the Penthouse, also surrounded by a wrap terrace, opens to an elegant 24’ marble entrance gallery leading to the public and private rooms, a powder room, and has a beautiful curved staircase leading to the living room on the top floor of the Penthouse. Off the entrance gallery is the large south facing corner formal dining room with woodburning fireplace, beamed ceiling and surrounded by the landscaped terrace, with doors leading to the terrace. The main chef’s kitchen, which overlooks the terrace and is adjacent to the dining room, has top-of-the-line appliances including a 6 burner Viking stove, two ovens, SubZero refrigerator, Viking dishwasher and copious storage space. The charming sunny breakfast room is adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the terrace with beautiful river views through large windows.
