Description

Welcome to the ultimate penthouse at The Aurora in Murray Hill, a stunning 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath, 2-half-bath duplex offering an exceptional living experience with multiple private terraces, a hot tub, soaring double-height ceilings, and panoramic river-to-river views of the city skyline.

The lower level welcomes you with a gracious gallery and coat closets, leading into an expansive great room where walls of windows flood the space with natural light, revealing breathtaking city views. Two private terraces off the living and dining areas create ideal settings for relaxing or dining outdoors. A dry bar, complete with a wine cooler and ice maker, enhances the entertaining experience.

The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, featuring Pyrolave glazed lava stone countertops, custom glass-front cabinetry, banquette and bar seating, a wall-mounted pot filler, and top-of-the-line professional-grade appliances, including a six-burner gas range, Salamander oven, and Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer.

Three spacious bedroom suites offer generous closet space and spectacular views.

The primary suite features a private terrace with a hot tub and outdoor shower, as well as a luxurious windowed bath with a TV, a standing shower, and a two-person Jacuzzi tub.

A striking floating staircase with glass banisters leads to the upper level, where an en-suite bedroom and two large dens provide ample space. One den includes a dry bar with a Sub-Zero fridge, freezer drawers, and an ice maker.

Additional highlights of the home include a central HVAC system, custom lighting, an integrated sound system, and an in-unit washer and dryer.

The Aurora is a full-service Murray Hill condominium offering 24-hour door attendants, concierge and porter services, a rooftop deck, and a private fitness center.
