Description

Available for the first time in over 25 years, welcome to a truly one-of-its-kind Penthouse, The Tower House at 205 East 69th Street - a NYC gem like no other, once owned by real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran herself.

Perched atop the Penthouse floor, this two-story cottage in the sky, boasts 4 exposures of magical light that makes you feel like you’ve left New York and entered a Paris dream. From the penthouse landing, ascend private sunlit stairs to a sanctuary that embodies the romance of the City and a perfect balance of elegance and sophistication; a place where you can escape into a private garden oasis on a manicured 1,200 square foot wrap-around roof-top terrace in this one-of-a-kind Lenox Hill penthouse highlighted with 360-degree city views.

The Tower House, featured in Romantic Homes Magazine and HGTV, is a grand 1 bedroom, 1 bath duplex penthouse opulent in its design that showcases the Pre-War details of the original wood burning fireplace, 10-foot ceilings, custom moldings & ceiling medallions, parquet oak floors, and original cast iron windows which perfectly blend with elegant modern updates that include custom built-ins and an updated windowed kitchen with d’oro stone countertops, glass-front cabinetry, Gaggenau stove top, oven, microwave and a dishwasher.

Every window on the first floor faces the centerpiece of this home - the approximately 1,200 square foot wrap-around planted terrace with full irrigation system and south, east, and west exposures.

Cheron Tompkins, a renowned decorative artist for fine homes and museums has added an elegant design aesthetic to many details of the home, including the glazed custom steel spiral staircase that leads to the lofty bedroom with a bird’s eye feel showcasing a 360-degree city view from the second-floor windows; but the highlight is a luxurious retreat to its private Amerec cedar sauna and a separate windowed bath with jacuzzi soaking tub. The bedroom offers an abundance of customized closets, built-ins, and a hidden tv cabinet.

205 East 69th Street is a full-service Art-Deco, Pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, fitness center, common laundry, and private storage.

Maintenance includes heat. This pet-friendly building allows for 75% financing.
