Brand new and never occupied. Spanning the entire 19th floor, Penthouse 19 offers 5,561 sq. ft. and features five bedrooms, a formal dining room, library, five ensuite bathrooms, and a powder room. Designed by Steven Harris Architects, this one of a kind Penthouse includes 334 sq. ft. of private outdoor space, 10’ ceilings, and incredible 360 degree open vistas. Designed with a prewar sensibility in mind, the home’s sophisticated details include floor-to-ceiling casement-style windows, and 4" wide rift and quarter-sawn American white oak flooring in a chevron pattern throughout.

A private, keyed entry vestibule with St. Clair marble flooring and wire-brushed rift-cut European white oak paneling welcomes into a grand entry gallery. The entertaining wing comprises a formal dining room, a spacious Great Room with a gas fireplace and south-facing balcony, and an adjacent library with a south-facing terrace offering views over 79th Street to Midtown Manhattan and Central Park.

The eat-in kitchen is equipped with hand-painted custom Italian cabinetry and polished nickel trim, honed Imperial Danby marble countertops and backsplashes, and a custom stainless steel island with a Nordic Gray marble top. It features top-of-the-line appliances, including a 60" Wolf 6-burner range, wall oven, speed oven, fully-vented range hood, two Sub-Zero refrigerators with integrated freezer drawers, a full-height wine refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, and two Julien stainless steel undermount sinks with InSinkErator disposal and Dornbracht faucets.

The separate bedroom wing offers serene north and east views over gardens and landmarked townhouses. The sun-drenched primary suite includes two oversized walk-in closets, a windowed dressing room, and a luxurious primary bathroom finished in full-height Olympic Danby stone walls and floors, a double sink vanity with Olympic Danby stone slab countertop, a Da Vinci freestanding soaking tub, oversized steam shower, and a separate Duravit water closet

Secondary bedrooms are generously sized and each feature ensuite bathrooms finished in Nestos Grey stone, custom floating vanities, and either frameless ribbed glass stall showers or Kaldewei Puro undermount tubs with Nestos Grey tub decks.
