225 E 36TH Street #PH

Perched high above Broadway on a floor all its own, this sprawling loft-like 5 bedroom penthouse affords an unobstructed panorama in all directions. Central Park, the Hudson River, the Midtown skyline and the George Washington Bridge are the backdrop of every window and terrace view. After a short flight of stairs from the 24th floor, the apartment foyer opens to a vaulted 16 ft. cedar ceiling soaring above the vast open living/dining/kitchen area which features a stone clad wood burning fireplace and dazzling light from south and north terraces, 12 windows and multiple skylights. An adjoining heated solarium offers additional dining and entertainment space framed by breathtaking views of the iconic skyline and the setting sun over the Hudson River. Two private wings comprising 5 bedrooms with 4 full baths flank this dramatic great room. The east wing with the Central Park-facing master suite has its own terrace and wood burning fireplace as well as an upper level with a skylight-illuminated artist's studio. There are 3 additional bedrooms, two upper loft spaces and a separate laundry room. The west wing has an office/bedroom, with sweeping river views from double height windows, a full bath and an upper sleeping loft. This is a rare opportunity to own a uniquely stunning Upper West Side penthouse in the full-service, architecturally distinctive Opera building. Prime Upper West Side location near subways, health clubs, theaters, great shops, and plentiful restaurants.
