Description

Location! Location! Location! An extraordinary full floor penthouse on prime Midtown Fifth Avenue, with panoramic 360 degree views, North, East, South & West, looking onto a jaw dropping catalogue of iconic NYC buildings.  From the Empire State Building to the Brooklyn Bridge, live above the giants of New York City.  

Set on the 65th floor, step directly into the penthouse from a coded elevator.  The apartment’s palatial entrance greets you with southern views featuring the Empire State Building writ large. Take in views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Freedom Tower, and the Statue of Liberty, as well as observe airplanes coming and going at LaGuardia, JFK and Newark Airports.  The view is that immense!

The generous stretch of living quarters features a formal corner dining room with views facing South and West looking upon the majestic Hudson River, towering Hudson Yards and the Garden State, New Jersey. Spectacular sunsets await.

Due to its expansive size, the sprawling living space can be arranged to incorporate multiple uses, such as a library or den. Of note - the original third bedroom has been incorporated into the expanded living area which can easily be converted back to a third bedroom if desired.

The classically balanced 2 bedroom* 3 bathroom penthouse is designed featuring split bedrooms, each with an en-suite Carrara marble bath with a view and custom walk-in closet. 

The primary bedroom faces North and West with views of Fifth Avenue and the greenery of Bryant Park. The second bedroom faces North and East, with views of ornate decorative elements of a nearby vintage skyscraper and the iconic Chrysler building.

A separate pass-through kitchen features a granite floor, solid core deep hued cherry wood kitchen cabinets and is well fitted with a Miele gas range, Sub-Zero fridge with custom cheery wood to match the cabinets, Miele dishwasher as well as an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer.
