345 E 69TH Street #PHD

Welcome to Apartment PHD, a rare penthouse alcove studio offering expansive private outdoor space, sweeping open city views, and incredible potential to create a truly bespoke Upper East Side residence. With a flexible layout and exceptional natural light, this home presents a unique opportunity to create a space tailored entirely to your vision.

The interior features a spacious main living area with a distinct alcove that creates a natural separation. Oversized south-facing windows welcome an abundant natural light while showcasing expansive skyline vistas from this elevated floor. Whether modernized into a sleek contemporary retreat or restored with classic elegance, the possibilities are endless.

A defining feature of the residence is its oversized, south-facing, private terrace, a rare and coveted offering in Manhattan. Ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing above the city, this expansive space enjoys sun-filled exposure and dramatic views of Manhattan's skyline.

While the kitchen and bathroom are ready for renovation, they provide the opportunity to fully customize the residence to your own taste and lifestyle. Dishwasher is allowed upon board approval.

Further enhancing its distinction, Apartment PHD carries a unique piece of New York history, having once been the home of a noted marketing research executive who played a principal role in the creation of the legendary "I Love NY" campaign.

Situated in one of the Upper East Side's most desirable full-service, elevator buildings, residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, laundry facilities, personal and bike storage, and a rooftop deck. Moments from world-class dining, shopping, museums, and convenient transportation, the location offers the very best of Manhattan living.

Whether envisioned as a primary residence or elegant pied-à-terre, Apartment PHD presents a rare chance to craft a penthouse home defined by private outdoor space, storied provenance, and exceptional potential.
