130 E END Avenue #PHB

SPECTACULAR DUPLEX PENTHOUSE AT 130 EAST END AVENUE This glamorous pre-war penthouse enjoys breathtaking river, sky and city views and a beautifully landscaped wrap terrace. One of New York's most beautiful classic penthouses, this 4 bedroom 4.5 bath duplex has everything one imagines in a sophisticated Manhattan penthouse - including true ?wow factor?.From the semi-private elevator landing, an elegant entry vestibule (with a guest powder room) opens into the spectacular living room that seems to float high above the city. One is immediately drawn to the wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors that perfectly frame the exceptional river and sky views, leading to the fully landscaped and irrigated wrap terrace - a real urban oasis. A wood-burning fireplace completes the living space, which graciously flows into the large formal dining room. Both rooms are awash in light from the corner eastern and southern exposures.The enormous river-facing terrace has ample areas for both outdoor dining and lounge seating, with a retractable sunshade awning. Every room upstairs opens directly to the outdoor space, which also features a built-in gas barbeque, a wisteria-clad trellis/pergola off the kitchen, stereo speakers, lighting, and planters along the entire perimeter with evergreen and flowering seasonal plants. This sophisticated home offers an expansive sense of indoor/outdoor living rare to find in Manhattan, as is the calm and beauty afforded by an equally rare city vista encompassing water, sky and greenery.The chef's kitchen has a fabulous informal dining area beneath a glass conservatory with electrically operated shades. Adjacent is a staff room or large storage pantry with a full bath.Downstairs, the master suite's 33' sweep of windows features river views which extend over Carl Schurz Park, up the river to the Triborough Bridge, and across to Long Island. This luxurious master suite has a large walk-in dressing room, two further large closets, a huge sitting room or library with a wood-burning fireplace, and a huge ensuite bath with a double-head steam shower, double sinks, bidet, and wonderful natural light from two exposures.Two further oversized bedroom suites each have perfectly renovated baths. A cozy den/media room is ideal for watching television or movies, but could easily be converted to a fourth en-suite bedroom. There is central A/C and fantastic closet space throughout the home, including a huge linen closet and a second coat closet near the lower level's entry vestibule. A laundry/utility closet is tucked under the stair.Refined art deco details are a notable feature of 130 East End Avenue, a full service luxury cooperative. A large and fully enclosed basement storage room transfers with the apartment.
