Property Summary
Description
Perched atop Kips Bay Towers, a Brutalist building completed in 1965 and designed by esteemed architect I. M. Pei, this exceptional penthouse commands sweeping north-facing views, capturing both the East River and the Manhattan skyline in one uninterrupted panorama. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light throughout the day, while evenings bring a cinematic display of city lights stretching uptown. The expansive living and dining area is perfectly positioned to maximize the view, creating a dramatic yet inviting space ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. A thoughtfully designed layout allows for seamless flow, with generous proportions and flexibility for multiple seating and dining configurations. The residence features a well-appointed kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and ample storage throughout. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering open city vistas and a sense of privacy above it all. Residents of Kips Bay Towers enjoy full-service living within a landmark mid-century setting, surrounded by beautifully landscaped private gardens with expansive green space, including a playground, basketball court, and open lawns. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, porters, fitness center, community room, storage, bike room, and on-site laundry, with a nearby public parking garage on First Avenue at 33rd Street. Ideally located in the heart of Kips Bay, moments from the waterfront, parks, and top dining and shopping, the building also offers close proximity to major medical institutions and easy access to bridges, tunnels, Grand Central, and public transportation. Subletting is permitted; no pets. A rare opportunity to own a penthouse with iconic river and skyline views in one of Manhattan’s most celebrated residential enclaves.
