Designed by Steven Harris Architects, this unique penthouse features 334 square feet of private outdoor space, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and expansive 360-degree views of the city. The design blends prewar elegance with modern sophistication, incorporating floor-to-ceiling casement-style windows and wide, rift-cut American white oak flooring in a chevron pattern throughout.

Upon entering through a private, keyed vestibule with St. Clair marble flooring and bespoke rift-cut European white oak paneling, you are greeted by a grand entry gallery. The spacious entertaining wing includes a formal dining room, a large Great Room with a gas fireplace and a south-facing balcony, and an adjacent library with a south-facing terrace offering sweeping views over 79th Street, Midtown Manhattan, and Central Park.

The expansive eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring hand-painted custom Italian cabinetry with polished nickel trim, honed Imperial Danby marble countertops, and a custom stainless steel island with a Nordic Gray marble top. High-end appliances include a 60-inch Wolf 6-burner range, wall oven, speed oven, fully-vented range hood, two Sub-Zero refrigerators with integrated freezer drawers, a full-height wine refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, and two stainless steel undermount sinks with InSinkErator disposal and Dornbracht faucets.

The sun-drenched primary suite features two oversized walk-in closets, a windowed dressing room, and a spa-like primary bath with Olympic Danby stone walls and floors, a double vanity with a stone slab countertop, a freestanding Da Vinci soaking tub, an oversized steam shower, and a separate Duravit water closet.
