The Brompton at 205 East 85th St. #PH2CD

The appropriate space, at the proper elevation, in a condominium building at ease with its mix of modern attributes, classic sensibility, and genuinely superb service is now available for purchase. With six (6) bedrooms, seven (7) bathrooms, and a powder room, plus three (3) fireplaces, across 6,000 square feet, a certain aura emanates from Penthouse 2CD. It signals that the teams at Robert A.M. Stern and Related delivered a gem within this phenomenal project.

Through the front door, a grand 40-foot central gallery sets the stage, punctuated by light from a south-facing window in the distance. In the south half and accessible from three points, a commercial-grade kitchen with a refined residential aesthetic, features expansive surfaces for preparation and countertop appliances, a six-burner range, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, and a sizeable conventional pantry, plus a butler’s pantry station. Enjoy casual meals and daily dining in complete comfort and pleasing natural light with elbow room to spare. Beyond the kitchen, a formal dining room and formal living room occupy distinct corners and boast extraordinary scale. The dining room faces south and east, the living room south and west. Each room has a fireplace. Adjacent to the living room sits a more casual space that can function flexibly as a den, media room, or library.

Farther along the western length of the plan, two of the home’s en suite bedrooms are thoughtfully anchored by a den or play room, which can easily transition to function as a seventh (7th) bedroom. Continuing deeper into the layout and away from the public rooms, a full guest suite, similar in scale to most primary bedrooms, boasts a walk-in closet to match.

Along the home’s eastern length, bedrooms 4 and 5, both bright, gracious, and featuring integrated full bathrooms, sit in line with just one section of the master suite. With a fireplace, two full bathrooms, three walk-in closets, and a windowed styling studio or dressing room, the master extends beyond the perimeter of the plan’s core. It is oriented to bask in sunlight from the south and to buffer it from the home’s less tranquil areas. Suitable for royalty, yet undiminished by its magnificent proportion, this master suite summons the softness of a favorite fabric and conveys a sense of time, paused.

The floors are laid in chevron pattern. The ceilings are nearly 10 feet, and a beautiful gilded powder room hand painted by Richard Jordan adds an additional flair to this special residence.

The Brompton maintains its place among the leading addresses within the Upper Eastside’s coveted and thriving mid-80s sub-market because its location optimizes measures of both privacy and proximity. With a roof terrace, garden, bicycle room, play or recreation room, full-time doorman and concierge, plus access to the Equinox Fitness Club the building and its location form the perfect foundation for living an elevated life in Penthouse 2C.
