Description

Where Sunrise Meets Sunset. Where City Meets Sky. Convertible 3 Bedroom with 12-foot ceilings.

This extraordinary one-of-a-kind penthouse features an approximately 1,100-square-foot wraparound terrace with east, west, and north exposures. Enjoy sunrise views over the East River and sunset views over the Manhattan skyline. With three access points, the terrace provides effortless indoor-outdoor living and outstanding river and city vistas.

The living room is a showstopper in scale and sophistication, framed by oversized east and west facing windows that flood the home with extraordinary natural light. The soaring 12-foot ceilings and open loft-like proportions bring a downtown sensibility to one of uptown's most beloved neighborhoods.

The formal dining room, gracious enough to seat ten comfortably, flows seamlessly into a windowed kitchen with direct terrace access. The terrace is fully equipped with irrigation and lighting, setting the stage for lush greenery, evening lighting, and the perfect outdoor atmosphere for gatherings.
