Postmodern Penthouse Duplex with River Views and Complete Privacy

Welcome to this meticulously renovated Penthouse Duplex offering exceptional privacy, peace, and panoramic views. Designed in a sleek postmodern style, this extraordinary residence places your ocean-going yacht in full view from the dining room table, just steps away at the new International 79th Street Marina (year-round docking negotiable; yacht not included).

Unfolding across two expansive levels, this home is pin-drop quiet, with no neighbors in sight above or around. It was once scouted for the film Miracle on the Hudson, where it was described as "ideal & spectacular." Whether you're hosting a fundraiser, gathering, celebration, or seeking a serene urban sanctuary, this space rises to every occasion.

Ownership is flexibility and allows for gifting, co-purchasing, subletting, and pied-à-terre usage. 75% financing allowed. Located in a historic district, this residence benefits from protected view corridors-no new obstructing high-rises are permitted.

The primary suite offers 11-foot ceilings, a custom walk-in closet with dressing area, and a private outdoor Ofuro soaking tub with direct views of the Hudson River and Freedom Tower. The en-suite bathroom is outfitted with a steam room, towel warmer, and custom-cut flamed granite flooring that is grout free-a rare and indulgent detail.
