Blanca Lofts at 206 East 73rd St. #PHW

Rarely does a home of this caliber come to market, especially on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This triplex penthouse, designed by The Turett Collaborative and perched atop the Blanca Loft Condominium, is one such jewel.

FIRST FLOOR
A private elevator opens to the foyer, lined in blackened steel panels and an impressive two-story wall clad entirely in Vals Quartzite stone, hand-selected by the architect and the first of its kind to be used in a private residential project in the US. The resin and glass components of the architecture allow light from the rooftop terrace and the skylights to disperse and refract artistically and ever-changing throughout the interior. The living room opens directly onto a landscaped private terrace in a seamless expanse of interior and exterior sanctuary.

The matte white Corian-clad kitchen, complete with Gaggenau, Miele, and Subzero appliances marries living with dining to create a large space ideal for entertaining. The adjacent powder room is, by contrast, seductive and intimate. Directly behind the kitchen lies a discreet ensuite guest suite with a private terrace, bathroom lined with teak planks, a walk-in steam shower, and elegant glass tile.

SECOND FLOOR
This floor includes a large master bedroom, mezzanine, private southern facing terrace, large walk-in closet, and a master bath beyond compare. Enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that transition from clear to opaque at the flip of a switch, the master bath provides a 300-gallon white Corian bathing pool with chromatherapy lights, an overhead stainless steel rain feature, an oversized skylight, and a laser-cut vanity carved from a single piece of Vals Quartzite.

Adjacent to the master bathroom is the master study which cantilevers effortlessly over the living, dining, kitchen space below.

THIRD FLOOR
On the third floor, a bridge leads to a landscaped roof terrace which runs the entire length of the penthouse from front to back and offers inviting and open views of the city, both north and south.

Rare and specially crafted, this home is the embodiment of elegant and thoughtful design. With ample closet space, an integrated Sonos sound and Lutron lighting systems, a security system, a large private indoor storage space, multi-zone Nest climate control, W/D, and 4,000+ square feet of interior and exterior space, this turnkey home is move-in ready. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, on a tree-lined and historic block, this home is surrounded by some of the best caf
