Description

Penthouse Perfection A rare offering in the heart of the Upper West Side — this extraordinary Art Deco penthouse with wraparound, landscaped terrace presents a private oasis in the sky with sweeping, iconic city and Central Park views. Spanning the top floor of a distinguished cooperative, the sprawling two-bedroom (convertible three-bedroom), two-and-a-half-bath home offers sun-filled interiors and gracious proportions. The expansive terrace is the showpiece — a sanctuary for quiet mornings, open-air dining, or sunset gatherings with views that stretch in every direction. Gut-renovated by the current owner, an artist and interior designer, the residence combines historic Art Deco character with modern luxury, showcasing wide-plank rift and quarter-sawn white oak floors, a hand-etched Rookwood tiled fireplace, and an in-unit Miele washer and dryer. Inside, a formal entry foyer leads to a grand living room with beamed ceilings and southern light streaming through large windows and terrace doors. The formal dining room, with its south-and west-facing exposures, easily adapts as a third bedroom while maintaining space for elegant entertaining. A large, windowed, eat-in kitchen was designed with premium appliances - six burner range, Fisher and Paykel double dishwasher drawers -- as well as thoughtful conveniences like a butler’s pantry and coffee bar. Direct terrace access completes this wing, with your own little herb garden just outside the kitchen door.. The private bedroom wing offers two oversized bedrooms, each with Central Park views, generous closet space, and en-suite windowed baths. This special residence combines classic architecture with a customized, move-in ready renovation — an aerie above one of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhoods. The boutique cooperative provides full-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, private storage, a bike room, and laundry facilities. The building’s recently renovated lobby, elevators, and corridors speak to a well-run cooperative attentive to detail, with a strong energy rating (A+ 96) that reflects forward-thinking management. Pets, pied-à-terres, and co-purchasing are permitted. Located on a landmarked, tree-lined street a stone’s throw from Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, and the best of Upper West Side dining, culture, and shopping — this penthouse captures the essence of timeless New York living.
