Magnificent penthouse with 1100+sf terrace!

When you step into this truly exceptional home, you will never want to leave. The owners went to great lengths to maintain and restore the pre-war beauty and character when recreating their home for today's living. With impressive attention to detail, this park block beauty has been transformed into an amazing 2br 1.5ba home with a seemingly never ending South and East facing terrace with views from Central Park to the Hudson River.

Enter this oasis from a private elevator landing, and step into an entry foyer with a massive coat closet and powder room. The 24ft long great room has a decorative fireplace and two sets of French doors that open to the South-facing terrace. You will find two more sets of French doors in the primary bedroom, also opening to the terrace. The chef's kitchen features a Bertazzoni vented stove with paneled hood, Liebherr refrigerator, paneled Bosch dishwasher, and an Asko W/D hidden behind millwork. Endless cabinets and counter space, double sink and 2 windows with sky and water tower views make cooking a dream. The windowed, oversized primary bathroom features a deep Kohler soaking tub, marble vanity, and large linen closet.

Enjoy all day light from your South, West and East exposures. 10+ft ceilings, hardwood floors, endless closet space (all fully built-out) hidden behind jib doors, custom radiator covers and molding and solid wood doors throughout. The building just finished installing a new roof and pavers earlier this year, and the owners installed a new irrigation system, so you can enjoy gardening from your terrace. Central air and through-the-wall A/C are permitted.
