Description

Welcome to this rarely available prewar penthouse complete with solarium, wood-burning fireplace, and gorgeous terrace. This private oasis floats high above the hustle-and-bustle of Manhattan and boasts plenty of natural light all day long from its southern and eastern exposures. This grand one-bedroom home is one of those special and uniquely Manhattan spaces perched atop a full-time doorman building created by two legends - architect Emory Roth and builders Bing and Bing.

This apartment was designed with Roth's trademarks - a generosity of space and wonderful functionality. The over-sized corner bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed with room to spare and has three large closets and an en-suite windowed bathroom. The updated windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances including gas range, microwave-hood and dishwasher as well as tons of storage and workspace.

The solarium enjoys views of lower Manhattan and the golden crown of the New York Life building. Home office with a view anyone? Past the solarium, the large, wraparound terrace has plenty of room for dining, entertaining, and greenery to provide a green view from every room. A short distance away is the iconic Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park, which is home to Eataly and public art exhibits.

The area is known for its restaurants includingScarpetta, Justin Smiie's Upland, and the renowned Eleven Madison Park. This pet-friendly building has a beautiful roof deck, laundry room, deeded storage space, bike room (wait list), full-time Doorman and a live-in Super.
