The penthouse is often the epitome of its building. (The Four Seasons Private Residences via Corcoran)
A penthouse is not just the topmost apartment in a building; it is its ultimate apartment. The location at the top of a structure naturally allows residents the best views in the building, not to mention the potential for private terraces to further enjoy them. Inside, the apartments are rich in unique layouts, top-of-the-line appliances, and deluxe finishes that sometimes cannot be found in any other apartments. Take a look inside some of the most amazing penthouses on the market.
