Description
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in arguably the rarest apartment to come onto the market in Midtown. This 3,368SF, 5 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Penthouse is guaranteed to impress you in addition to 1,100SF of private terrace space equipped with power and water and split 50/50 on both the East and West sides of the building, 360 degree views through over 40 windows perched alone, 36 floors in the sky surrounded by some of the best restaurants, hotels, nightlife and transportation NYC has to offer along with two separate entrances, laundry room, mud room and maids room. This massive full-floor Midtown Penthouse consists of a 33 x 15 grand entry foyer that creates an East and West wing, two gigantic corner bedrooms, one spanning 27 x 15 with 13 windows facing south and west and the other measuring 25 x 25 with 10 windows facing north and west both having a set of floor-to-ceiling terrace doors that lead you to a 550SF western terrace.Directly in the center of the apartment measuring 29 x 32, through 13 south facing, extra-large windows is the Living-Room and Den. These spacious and amazingly bright rooms share 10FT ceilings, Bay windows and a sense of peace and tranquility that can't be felt anywhere else. From sunrise to sunset, there is always a constant beam of natural sunlight. Finally, in the East wing, the Penthouse offers a 37 x 35 Kitchen / Dining Combination that offers spectacular light and views of The East River, The Chrysler Building, and the Manhattan skyline and beyond. Step outside through the multitude of extra-large floor-to-ceiling terrace doors that lead onto another 550SF private terrace that is also equipped with power and water so you can create your very own outdoor garden oasis in the sky. In addition to all of this, it is possible to add another three or more bathrooms bringing the total over 5.5 baths. Every room offers either tremendous light, tremendous views or both. The opportunities are endless with this unmatched penthouse that is beyond compare. The Cosmopolitan Condominium is a Full-Service, Doorman Building that has 207 apartments and was built in 1986 which features a 24 Hour Concierge, an underground 24 Hour Garage with elevator that leads directly onto the PH floor, Live-In Super, Roof Deck and one of the city's tastiest and most famous Greek Seafood Restaurants', Avra Estiatorio.One of the reasons for the Cosmopolitan's greatness among other residential buildings is the fact that the staffs' determination to ensure a safe and harmonious lifestyle for its residents is unequal and is extremely refreshing. Hands down one of the city's best staffed Condominiums
