THE CAMPANILE PENTHOUSE | Designer Outdoor Enthusiast’s Dream

Immerse yourself in opulence at The Campanile Penthouse. This two-bedroom penthouse spans two levels, offering a total of approximately 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, including the city’s most spectacular planted terraces that total over 2,000 square feet, providing sweeping panoramas of the East River and city skyline. Located atop the Venetian-Gothic Campanile, a landmark cooperative on a serene cul-de-sac at 450 East 52nd Street, this residence exudes Jazz Age grandeur with its distinct allure.

Arrive via the private elevator, which ushers you directly into the penthouse, where meticulously restored bronze bank vault doors unveil a haven of luxury.

The grand living area, with a wood-burning fireplace and surrounded by panoramic windows and French doors, opens to a vast terrace with a unique glass parapet, offering unobstructed river views. Exceptional finishes include radiant-heated marble floors and refined paneling, with a primary suite that serves as a sanctuary of elegance featuring a separate terrace, a sumptuous marble bath with a steam shower, deep soaking tub and expansive walk-in closets.

A stunning bronze and marble staircase leads to the dining level, boasting over 11-foot ceilings, another wood-burning fireplace, and a professional kitchen equipped with a La Cornue Grand Palais 180 stove. The adjacent glass-encased sunroom and impressive wrap-around roof terrace with an outdoor grill set the stage for unparalleled entertaining.

Rich in history and modern elegance, The Campanile has been a beacon of luxury since its completion in 1927 during the Great Gatsby era. It has housed celebrities and industry titans like Greta Garbo, Rex Harrison, Ethel Barrymore, the Rothschilds, H.J. Heinz, Noel Coward, Henry Miller, and Ralph Pulitzer. Notable for its vibrant past, the building once hosted the Mayfair Yacht Club in the 1930s and even a speakeasy during Prohibition.

This particular penthouse, once home to stage legend Mary Martin, known for her roles in Peter Pan, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music, is a one-of-a-kind residence renovated to perfection.
