Terrace: Entirely clad in bluestone tile, the private terrace measures approximately 3,040 square feet with an attractive decorative railing. Surrounding the living and dining rooms, the south and west facing terraces are 11' deep, allowing enormous space for entertaining, furniture, and large-scale planters. The terrace wraps the entirety of the apartment, providing perfect privacy and flexibility for abundant plantings. The views to the south, west, and north are everlasting and sensational. Apartment: Volume and views define the Penthouse at 21 East 79th Street. The ceilings throughout are very high, soaring close to 12', even with recessed lighting and central air.
