Sometimes a home comes to market that photographs and descriptions simply do not do it justice… this is that home! Soaring above the Upper East Side this massive and mint condition 3,500 square foot 4 bed with an extra 1,000 square feet of private roof deck space was masterfully reimagined by AD featured designer Devin Hines from Hines Collective. Made for city living, this home seamlessly blends modernity, warmth and a light-filled tone while emanating quiet luxury at sub $2k/sqft. The various living areas of the apartment are arranged for gracious and convivial entertaining, with one space flowing into the other through elements such as a stunning two-sided absolute black granite fireplace connecting the living room and library, and a large marble screen that allows natural light and sight lines to flow from the living room to the dining room in the center of the apartment. Tucked away for privacy, the jewel box powder room shines with hand-embroidered and painted silk wallcoverings from Fromental, a hammered copper sink, and “Tundra Gray” marble countertop. Meanwhile, the chef’s kitchen offers custom hand-raked oak cabinetry and “Organic White” quartz countertops. The serene space is well appointed with appliances from Miele, Wolf, and Gaggenau, including a full-size wine fridge, and connects to the dining room via a wet bar nook. Above, the residence’s private rooftop terrace is a rare and glorious escape offering panoramic vistas of the New York Skyline. Equipped with a summer kitchen, including a gas grill, refrigerator and freezer making it easy to comfortably host 70 guests, yet be an ideal respite for one. The home offers four bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, three of which are on the lower level. The vast primary suite occupies a full half floor and is one of the finest in the city. It comes complete with a luxurious dressing room and custom closet cabinetry to showcase a collection of the finest clothes, purses and shoes from Ateliers from around the world. Meanwhile the luxurious bathroom is highlighted by a massive six-foot by six-foot shower with a showstopping backlit onyx feature wall that is breathtaking beyond imagination. The spacious bedroom is large enough for multiple seating areas and with exposure in two directions, offers captivating city views. Situated perfectly on this floor between the 3 bedrooms is an in-unit laundry room with sink and a surprise of incredibly rare Hermes fabric wallcoverings! This unit also comes with 3 storage units. Located in one of renowned architect Costas Kondylis’s signature condominiums the building features a full-time doorman, a state of the art fitness center, party room with full kitchen, kids playroom, library, bike storage, and screening room. Centrally located in the East 70’s and across the street from all the wonders of Agata and Valentina, this home is close to a plethora of exquisite destinations for dining and drinks, such as The Penrose, Anita La Mamma del Gelato, and the Gracie Mews Diner to name a few as well as elite private schools, parks, museums and galleries. Simply the best penthouse on the Upper East Side for the price, this home must be seen to truly understand how special and rare it is! Taxes with STAR abatement reduced to $3,885/mo.
