Not only does the 3-bedroom + staff room, 4.5-bathroom home showcase breathtaking open city skyline views from every room and from four exposures, the home features two large private outdoor wrap terraces. Central Park treetops are also showcased to the west and views south overlook the renowned Carlyle Hotel. The stunning renovation brought the finest finishes, systems and top-of-line appliances to the sun-filled home. While the duplex features four open exposures, most rooms face south or west showcasing wide open vistas and drawing in beautiful natural light from abundant oversized high-end windows throughout.

Beautiful views and light combined with gracious living, luxury style and comforts, private outdoor oases and a full-service building in a superb location make this a remarkable residence. This expansive corner penthouse features a fabulous flowing layout for entertaining that is well-planned for living with a lower entertaining level separate from the top floor residence wing.

The upper-level features 3 spacious bedrooms each with great closets and en-suite baths.

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.
