DRAMATIC PENTHOUSE WITH 2 HUGE TERRACES    This truly one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath duplex penthouse on the 15th and 16th floors captures you the moment you walk in the door – with bright light streaming in from the 3 exposures, east, south and west.     The spacious living room leads to a 300-square-foot terrace with phenomenal views of iconic buildings to the south and a glimpse of Central Park to the east.  This is a great spot to spend the day relaxing, working, gardening or entertaining.   Off the living room and kitchen to the east is another enormous (approximately 250 square feet) outdoor terrace where you can host a large dinner party.   Come inside and sit around the working woodburning fireplace.   A dramatic, winding stairway leads to the top floor where you will find two generously sized bedrooms with their own en-suite windowed baths. The main bedroom has spectacular views east and south. Off the bedroom is a windowed dressing area with two large walk-in closets. The second bedroom has excellent closet space and open views east. The kitchen has a back door for private deliveries.   It is not often that an apartment comes on the market one block from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum that encompasses so many of the qualities most buyers are looking for. This duplex penthouse has a loft-like, downtown feel.   In addition to abundant closets, the apartment comes with its own very large, keyed, private storage room down the hall.  There is an entrance to the unit on both the 15th and the 16th floors.   This full-service building has a 24-hour doorman, a wonderful staff, and live-in super. It is located in a prime location between Fifth and Madison Avenues, down the street from Central Park, boutiques, and the Metropolitan Museum. Pieds-a-terre, pets, and washer/dryers with proper installation are permitted with approval. There is also an attended garage with direct access to the building. There is a $449.58 assessment through March 31, 2021.
