Occupying the top two floors of a premier pre-war Fifth Avenue cooperative, this palatial duplex penthouse residence with wrap terraces is unsurpassed. There is nothing like it on the market today. This spacious ten room home in triple mint condition has three terraces on the main floor, accessible from the living and dining rooms, plus a wrap terrace accessible from three of the four bedrooms of the upper floor. This apartment presents a rare commodity – the luxury of outdoor space from both the public and private rooms. There are four exposures and unparalleled views of Central Park to the George Washington Bridge and beyond. The reservoir, and vistas of the Central Park West and South skylines are seen from every room of this triple mint home. The main floor features a spacious living room and a formal dining room, each with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen with a La Cornue stove, and other top of the line appliances, and an adjoining laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. A library, office, wet bar, and powder room complete the first floor entertaining space. There are unusual herringbone floors throughout and the original restored wrought iron terrace doors. The upstairs level features a sun-drenched master bedroom suite complete with wood-burning fireplace, dressing room and luxurious bath. There are three additional bedrooms, with pristine baths and fully outfitted closets. Additionally, there is an option to acquire the adjoining one bedroom, two bath apartment in mint condition with the same glorious views for $1,500,000. This apartment can be easily combined to create a full floor, six bedroom, six bathroom plus staff room residence or keep it as separate staff quarters or guest suite. This is a very rare offering for the discerning purchaser.
