Upon entering Penthouse E, one quickly understands the high level of expert craftsmanship that went into the total re-design of this truly beautiful and finely detailed duplex home.

The open views and beaming light from the continuous walls of glass pull you from the entry through to the large living room and dining room and out onto the 41 foot long terrace. The jewel in the crown of this special residence, the private terrace is a contiguous extension of the home’s expertly proportioned interior entertaining spaces and offers views both East and South. The adjacent library (with full bath) also has views onto the terrace and can serve as an intimate guest room with the ease of sliding a hidden panel. Open to the living room is the custom designed stainless steel Kitchen by Boffi, which features Wolf ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler and a fully vented exhaust hood.

A floating stone stair leads to the upper level and into the master suite, which features a walk in closet and a luxurious en suite 5-fixture bath, worthy of a high end spa. A comparably sized 2nd suite also on this floor and has a separate sitting area and private bath. Additional square footage was added with the construction of a full-size laundry room built above the stairs.

Special features include: 9’6 ceilings, an individually controlled heating and cooling system with a humidifier, flawless Burmese marble floors on the first level, hand-stained wide plank beach wood floors on the upper level, customized doors and frames throughout by the Italian manufacturer Lualdi, an abundance of storage in every room, and a Smart Home technology system that includes remote access for climate control (with the potential added control for lighting, sound and window shades).

The layout of this special Penthouse has been perfectly curated with loving attention given to every surface. The result is a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
