Description

Welcome to The Legacy Penthouse nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side, a 5-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom, 6700 sq. ft. duplex suffused with elegant design elements and an abundance of natural light. Wood-burning fireplaces, ostrich blue slate accent walls, and custom built-ins punctuate a loft-like expanse of neutral tones and modern lines. The home spills out onto several private terraces and balconies, adding nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of luxurious living, dining, and entertainment space. On the lower level of the home, a key-locked elevator opens into a spacious entry and lounge area and then flows into a 35-ft great room with a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling curtain wall windows designed by Costas Kondylis. An adjacent guest bedroom has its own fireplace and is perfect for use as a library/den.

The kitchen sits just off the dining space and is equipped with an eat-in waterfall island, sleek countertops, custom cabinets, and a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances including a double-vented range hood. A trio of bedrooms lies on the opposite side of the lower level. The primary suite boasts a walk-through dressing room, access to two balconies, a seating area, and couples’ closets and en-suite bathrooms with enclosed toilets and wet rooms with soaking tubs. The other two bedrooms have large closets and full en-suite bathrooms.

A guest powder room, a pair of laundry rooms, and a staff room with a full en-suite finish the lower level. An open media/entertainment room and spacious fifth bedroom sit on the upper level of the home. The entertainment room has radiant heated floors, a gas-burning fireplace, and plumbing for a potential bar. The bedroom has a wall of closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub.

Completing the home are two spacious terraces with a private outdoor kitchen. All bathrooms have radiant heated floors. Above this level is a large private rooftop terrace that is perfect as a sanctuary or for fabulous entertaining. The Legacy is a boutique condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a gym, and a spacious common rooftop deck with outdoor cooking equipment, dining and lounge furniture. The building is moments from restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, and it is close to Central Park and Museum Mile.
