Description

Rarely available triplex Penthouse with its very own private roof terrace located in an iconic Tudor City landmark tower. Penthouse 5 is a truly spectacular home with soaring 15-foot casement windows overlooking the dramatic midtown skyline. In fact, the apartment is most famous for being “The Green Goblin’s Lair” in all three Spiderman movies.

The Great Room’s dramatic scale features 18-foot ceilings and 15-foot casement windows with spectacular unobstructed midtown views including the Chrysler Building. The oversized 1920s era wood-burning fireplace was remodeled to match the original mantel mirror and original molds, and there are herringbone wood floors throughout. There is also a powder room downstairs.

The elegant, wrapping hand-painted cast iron staircase brings you to the upper level. The second level has the renovated kitchen with GE appliances (over-the-range microwave, gas range, dishwasher), and LG washer/dryer unit. There is a dining gallery adjacent the kitchen that overlooks the Great Room and the oversized casement windows (currently used as a study).

The bedroom features two custom built-out walk-in closets as well as two additional linen closets and an en-suite marble bathroom. The bathroom vanity has hand-painted countertops, 2 hand-carved Venetian mirrors, chrome and crystal fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and a heated towel rack.

A nearly 300 sqft private space is a perfect oasis in the sky, with plenty of room for dining, sunbathing, gardening, and more.

The iconic 5 Tudor City Place (Windsor Tower) erected in 1929 is a white glove cooperative located just blocks from the heart of Midtown, Grand Central Station, with easy access to get both uptown and downtown. The building features a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, a 2,000-square-foot fitness center, central laundry room, and bicycle/storage rooms. Pets, pied a terres, co-purchasing, all allowed. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
