A truly magnificent renovated Upper East side penthouse condominium

The North Penthouse at 141 East 88th Street offers the rare opportunity to acquire a trophy, three-bedroom (conv. 4) residence in a highly sought-after Upper East Side prewar condominium with high ceilings and ample outdoor space. After undergoing a complete overhaul, this triple mint home has upgraded many of the sponsor finishes and is ready to be enjoyed for years to come. An outdoor lover's dream-every single room in this immaculate, designer-renovated duplex penthouse is flanked by its own terrace. Setbacks on the East and West make for an extremely quiet refuge, offering an extraordinary opportunity for one to enjoy privacy and tranquility. With exposures to both the East and the West, this spacious home also boasts beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

The main level of this home features an elegant entryway, which opens to the large great room with double-height ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with Chesneys mantle clad in limestone. French doors open to the massive 31' terrace, a seamless transition for indoor/outdoor living and the perfect for backdrop for entertaining.

The open kitchen was recently redone with custom millwork (and extensive storage) featuring a large island clad in waterfall Danish Speka Heart Ashwood, Dornbracht fixtures and the highest quality appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and an under-counter wine refrigerator, a six-burner Thermador range and Miele dishwasher. On this level are two secondary bedrooms (one ensuite) and a powder room. Both bedrooms are equipped with outstanding closet space and lead out onto the second, West-facing sunset terrace. One of the bedrooms has been outfitted with bunk beds and a workspace. A large laundry room featuring a full-size LG washer and dryer complete this floor, which can easily be converted back to a full bathroom (the plumbing is there) should the next owner wish to have both tertiary bedrooms ensuite. 5" wide custom White Oak hardwood floors are featured throughout the home.

Upstairs, a 28-foot recreation/media room provides generous additional entertaining space and the third terrace with open views to the East. Easily converted to a 4th bedroom, if needed, this malleable space is currently set up with a built-in home theatre including a projection system and a motorized drop-down screen concealed in the built-in library. The elegant, oversized primary suite features twin, large, expertly outfitted walk-in closets. The ensuite windowed bathroom blends the classic and the contemporary with radiant heat flooring, an oversized shower, tatami pattern mosaic shower walls and polished nickel fixtures by Waterworks, Fined honed Statuary marble graces the countertops of custom vanities as well as the bathroom floor. A free-standing soaking tub overlooking a wall of windows fills this area with natural daylight, where one can unwind and enjoy the skyline over sunset. A bonus feature of this primary suite is the intimate private terrace, the fourth outdoor space of this unique home.

Philip House is a highly coveted, classic pre-war condominium built in 1927. The building hosts full suite of amenities, including a fitness center with Technogym, a playroom, a bike room, a music room, cold storage, a large supplemental laundry room and a study that leads out to a rooftop terrace with open city views. Philip House is a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, a full staff of 13, and an onsite, live-in resident manager. Private storage also transfers with this apartment.

There is assessment of approximately $1,578.18 beginning on June 1, 2022 for a period of 60 months.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
