A truly exceptional full-floor penthouse, surrounded by expansive, beautifully landscaped terraces with direct access from every room-offering seamless indoor-outdoor living and breathtaking natural light in every direction.

The apartment includes two zones of central air-conditioning and a sound system wired throughout all entertaining areas - perfect for seamless entertaining of both intimate and large gatherings. The entire exterior was renovated with new insulation, stucco, copper fixtures and lighting, pavers and balustrades, providing durability as well as elegance. Perched on the corner with its adjacent buildings capped at six floors, this penthouse residence and its terrace are quiet and private yet sunny, with stunning views of midtown and a partial view of Central Park.

It flows effortlessly into a chef's kitchen designed and equipped to the highest standards. This culinary haven is outfitted with ample custom cabinetry, stone and marble countertops, double sinks, an 8-burner professional grade stove with through-roof ventilation, and a sub-zero refrigerator. The skylight above the large island adds to the kitchen's inviting functionality.
