Description

PRICE IMPROVEMENT!

RARELY AVAILABLE!! One of a handful of Gotham Condominium Penthouse units that hardly ever come to market.

Perched high on the 23rd and 24th floors you will find this renovated three bedroom, two and half bathroom Penthouse Duplex boasting stunning sunlight, and a glorious wraparound terrace.

This sprawling 1,719 sf home, dazzles with walnut color hardwood floors, high ceilings and phenomenal natural light throughout. From the gracious entry and expansive 35-foot-long great room, this home invites you to relax and entertain alongside designer lighting, built-in cabinetry and oversized windows facing south and east. Additionally, on this level, there is a powder room and laundry closet with an in-unit LG washer/dryer and a multipurpose room that can be easily used as a den, guest suite or home office.

The breathtaking 447sf wraparound terrace, enjoys spectacular views of the East river and Southern skyline and for those of us who enjoy cooking, the kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, grey stone countertops, and upscale stainless-steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni range with built-in microwave. Matching custom white cabinetry extends into the dining area.

Head upstairs to discover the king-sized primary suite which faces east onto the river, a large closet and an updated spa bathroom with a walk-in shower and contemporary fixtures. Two secondary bedrooms share a windowed full bathroom featuring a soaking tub and separate shower and two walk-in closets ensure storage will never be a concern in this exceptional penthouse home.

The Gotham is a modern luxury building offering an enviable roster of upscale services and amenities, including a 24-hour concierge desk, common terrace, resident lounge/function room, children’s playroom and playground, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with locker rooms, sauna, and a 25-meter salt water heated indoor swimming pool.

From this perfect Upper East Side location, you will enjoy easy access to fantastic shopping, dining, and entertainment along 86th Street and Madison Avenue. Spectacular Museum Mile and Central Park unfold just three blocks west, and waterfront Carl Schurz Park and the gorgeous East River Promenade only four blocks east. Whole Foods is right outside your door, and transportation is effortless with the 4/5/6 and Q trains, excellent bus service and Citi Bike stations all nearby.
Tenant occupied through June 30, 2025.

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.
