Description

Penthouse 9E at 655 Park Avenue is a unique living space in one of Park Avenue’s premiere buildings. With 3300 square feet of gracious interior space topped by over 3000 square feet of a spectacular roof top terrace, this apartment is beautifully suited to both entertaining and luxurious private living. With four exposures and a magnificent view of the New York skyline, Penthouse 9E is sunlit and cheerful. You are welcomed to the penthouse duplex via the lower level’s grand reception gallery.

The gallery has a seamlessly integrated wet bar as well as a powder room which are easily accessed from the living & dining rooms, the eat-in-kitchen and laundry/maid’s room. On the upper level we find the luxurious standards expected in such a prestigious building. Three gracious bedrooms: the master, library/bedroom and study/bedroom are appointed in the highest caliber millwork.

The master bath is of spa quality with a large west facing window, double vanity, steam shower and deep soaking tub. The second bathroom on the upper level is clad in the most beautiful, and soothing marble. The current owners have carved out extensive closet space including a deep walk-in closet for optimal storage.

As you tour the apartment you will notice the abundant light that streams in all day from all four exposures. The magnificent City views and light are protected since the penthouse clears the neighboring building, Crowning the apartment above the bedrooms is a private rooftop garden. Professionally designed, landscaped, irrigated and lit ? it’s the perfect escape from the busy City.

With its over 3,000 square feet, the garden presents some of the finest views of Manhattan and is, without exaggeration, quite breathtaking. Just like the interior, this terrace is perfectly suited for grand-scale entertaining as well quiet seclusion making it the quintessential oasis. Apartment features include hand painted murals throughout, handcrafted millwork, two wood burning fireplaces and multi-zoned A/C. The extensive laundry room can be converted to another bedroom and bathroom.
