Perched high above Central Park is this spectacular Penthouse at the famed St. Urban, this sun-drenched duplex features Central Park and Reservoir views from every room and the finest architectural finishes and details.

An enormous living room with wood burning fireplace and two-story greenhouse blends seamlessly with a large dining room, creating the perfect entertaining space. A chef's kitchen is highlighted with commercial appliances, including a Traulsen refrigerator, Viking range and two wall ovens. This special kitchen has panels that can be left open or closed to the dining room, allowing for more, or less, formal entertaining. Triple glazed windows throughout assure tranquility. The generously sized master suite features two dressing rooms and two marble bathrooms, one with a Jacuzzi tub, and the other with a steam shower. The second bedroom boasts a wood burning fireplace, and both the second and third bedrooms feature marble baths en-suite. A fourth bedroom can easily be added; alternative floor plans are available through the brokers. The apartment also has two laundry rooms: one on each floor, and an attic storage space. Finally, another crown jewel of this home is the large planted terrace off the living room, allowing for al fresco dining or some private outdoor reading time.

One of the unique features of this grand home is a glorious circular bi-level library housed inside the domed northern turret of the building. The lower floor, dedicated as the working level is adorned with Bird's eye Maple bookcases, and the top floor or thinking level is designed as a classical retreat inside the dome, which opens to a private rooftop reading terrace and observation deck. This entire library has spectacular City and Park views.

Designed by renowned architect, Lee Harris Pomeroy, the apartment has been featured in the New York Times Magazine, on CNN, and in many national and international publications.
