47 E 88th Street #PH-E

Enter this very special home from a private elevator landing to discover 2,700 sq. ft. interior and 1,075 sq. ft. wrap terrace. Designed in the 1980's by innovative abstract architect Michael Kalil, the renovation has graced the pages of several architectural magazines. Priceless natural ebony is used throughout this unique penthouse on much of the floors and on the staircase that leads to a second level Tower Room. The wrap terrace, just waiting for a garden, beckons from every room through tall single paned windows overlooking city rooftops in four directions. Sunshine abounds everywhere. Doors open to the terrace from three rooms: the Living Room (which has a working fireplace) and two of the three corner Bedrooms. A cozy Library sits off the Formal Dining Room. The Primary Bedroom offers generous closets and an ensuite bath with double sink, bidet, separate shower stall and soaking tub. Two additional generously sized Bedrooms share a bathroom. The Eat-In Kitchen incorporates a former maid's room and boasts a splendid view of Central Park. A remaining staff room serves as a large laundry room, and an additional 1/2 bath is located in the former servants' quarters. At the edge of the Living Room, an interior staircase leads to a most unique Tower Room with 8' tall windows, 12' pyramidal ceiling, wet bar and 1/2 bath. (Note: This residence has two full baths and two half baths.) 47 East 88th Street is full service, white glove cooperative building in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Amenities include a fitness room, central laundry, playroom, and private as well as common storage. NOTE: There is an opportunity to combine PHE with PHW to create an astonishing 5-6 Bedroom home comprising over 5000 square feet with terraces that wrap around completely!
