137 E 36TH Street #PH

This Stunning Penthouse Duplex is located in the heart of Murray Hill's Historic District with abundant outdoor space across four terraces, amazing NYC views and sun drenched, light filled rooms throughout. This elegant building was once acquired by James Pierpont Morgan for his daughter and exquisitely renovated. The apartment, accessible via keyed elevator, is an entertainer's delight for all seasons. It is currently configured as a two bedroom, however, the media room could be reconfigured into a third bedroom, if desired. The kitchen, which was renovated earlier this year with custom cabinetry and stainless steel Bosch appliances, is conveniently located between the living and dining areas. The first floor, with its own wood-burning fireplace, is framed by wall-to-wall windows on the north and south sides, providing plenty of light, and has a centralized AV system for sound throughout, as well as a projector and screen in the media room. The upper floor is devoted to the master suite and a terrace, which frames a perfect view of the Chrysler Building. The master bath is enormous with an oversized walk-in closet, a three head shower, soaking bathtub, washer/dryer and a skylight. The private outdoor terraces are beautifully landscaped with mature plantings, herb/vegetable gardens and an automatic watering system. On the south terrace is an outdoor kitchen, including wet area and ice maker. Up on the other level is the north terrace, which has a full outdoor living room and chaise lounge area, an eight person dining room table, a control center for music and plenty of storage for cushions. Having dinner under the stars while staring at the iconic Chrysler Building contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of this Penthouse with gracious outdoor living. This exceptional home has a low monthly maintenance, which enhances the value of this property. The apartment, also, has a large basement storage unit. The building allows leasing for up to two years and pets, with board approval. It is well located with multiple avenues of nearby transportation, including the Midtown Tunnel and FDR for driving, Metro North from Grand Central, and 4/5/6/7/Shuttle subways providing easy access to the Upper East Side, downtown, Hudson Yards and Times Square. According to the floorplan draftsman, the approximate interior square footage is 2,050 square feet and the approximate exterior square footage is 1,380 square feet.
