Description

Dramatic and iconic, this show stopping terraced Penthouse boasts a living room with 20 foot ceilings, enormous windows and open South views!

Off a semi private landing, enter this fabulous prewar Penthouse.

Immediately upon entering you will be awe struck by the volume and grandeur of the living room- a room that is 28 feet by 20 feet by 20 feet! A wood burning fireplace anchors this stately room and an almost floor to ceiling, wall wide window faces North with wonderful light.

Off the living room the third bedroom off of which the beautiful terrace flows. The terrace is nearly square, (over 20 feet by 20 feet) and boasts West, East and North light and open skies.

Also off the living room is a very oversized formal dining room currently used as a den, with wonderful open South views and fabulous light.

Adjacent to the dining room and the living room is the gigantic windowed eat in chef's kitchen with center island, a dining room sized eating area and loads of counter and cabinet space. The kitchen also has an enormous pantry closet and the washer/dryer.

Up a dramatic staircase and off a large landing there are 2 large bedrooms and bathrooms, including the luxurious primary suite. There are also endless closets, including a real storage room.

The sumptuous primary suite has a large en suite bathroom with double vanity and separate shower and tub.

Both the bedroom and the bathroom have open South views.

The secondary bedroom is serviced by a hall bathroom and is also spacious with open South exposures.

This home is a truly unique piece of real estate, seldom seen on the market. Located in a full service boutique prewar coop, services include a full time elevator operator, resident manager, new gym and storage. Nestled on a quiet portion of 86th street, it is less than 2 blocks from Riverside Park and 3 blocks from Central Park, while also being so close to the best food options and public transportation.

Please call for a private viewing.
