302 E 96TH Street #PH1

Occupying the entire 16th floor of Vitre, PH1 is an exceptional three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse spanning 2,290 square feet, with sweeping views in every direction and nearly 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space. Floor-to-ceiling windows, ceilings reaching 9'8", and smoked European white oak floors complement an extensive collection of thoughtful custom upgrades, creating a sophisticated, turnkey residence. Two spectacular 50-foot terraces, facing north and south, offer breathtaking sunrises over the RFK Bridge and sunsets toward Central Park. These outdoor spaces feature landscaping designed and built by Amber Freda NYC Landscape Design, modular pavers with concealed drainage, curated perennial gardens designed to attract migrating monarch butterflies, a regulated drip irrigation system, and built-in architectural uplighting. Dedicated high-speed outdoor Wi-Fi extends across both terraces, providing versatile spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or remote productivity outdoors. Inside, a sophisticated Savant whole-home automation system provides centralized control of lighting, audio, entertainment, and motorized window treatments through wall keypads, remotes, or mobile devices. The system also supports compatibility with smart-home devices for voice control, such as Alexa, Siri, or Google Home. Custom Lutron motorized shades have been tailored to each room, including premium dual sheer and blackout shades recessed into custom ceiling pockets in the primary suite, solar shades in the living areas and second bedroom, and blackout shades in the third bedroom. The living and dining room shades are thoughtfully configured to allow terrace access without raising the full window treatments. The bedroom shade motors and electronic drive units were professionally serviced by AHT Global in 2026. A Sonos audio system with concealed ceiling speakers extends throughout the main living spaces, both terraces, the primary bedroom, and the primary bathroom. Five-zone climate control with Nest smart thermostats, a hardwired Ring video doorbell, and discreetly rack-mounted audiovisual and networking equipment further enhance the home's convenience and functionality. The beautifully appointed kitchen features wire-brushed oak cabinetry, white lacquer upper cabinets, a Carrara marble slab backsplash, Caesarstone countertops, a Bertazzoni range, induction cooktop and fully paneled Blomberg refrigerator dishwasher, and wine cooler.. The primary suite offers a custom California Closets walk-in dressing room with full-extension drawers, a velvet-lined locking jewelry drawer, illuminated LED hanging rods, tiered custom shelving, and luggage storage. Additional custom floor-to-ceiling hallway cabinetry provides exceptional storage and accommodates a full-size washer and dryer. Further architectural enhancements include a dedicated ceiling electrical connection above the dining area for a statement chandelier and Level 5 drywall finishing throughout, creating exceptionally smooth walls, finished pillar supports and seamless architectural detailing. Vitre is a full-service condominium offering a 24-hour attended lobby, concierge services, a residents' lounge with an outdoor sundeck patio, a rooftop sundeck, and bicycle storage. Conveniently located with access to the Second Avenue subway, the building provides easy access to transportation, dining, shopping, and the best of the Upper East Side. Amenities also include parking, providing an exceptional additional convenience in this remarkable penthouse residence.
