The Belaire at 524 East 72nd St. PH4

Full-Floor Penthouse with Wrap Terrace, Helicopter Views, and 2 Parking Spaces.

Perched at the pinnacle of the Belaire Condominium, PH4 is the crown penthouse of the Zeckendorf designed skyscraper. Occupying the entire 50th floor atop the building, this special home features stunning panoramic views from all 4 exposures – including skyline, river, bridge, and park views. PH4 is a full-floor, triple mint, luxury home that was gut-renovated to exacting standards by the award-winning Pier, Fine Associates Architects; the penthouse’s scale, volume, and thoughtful layout make it perfect for both grand entertaining and luxurious family living spanning nearly 4,000 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor living.

Upon arrival, your elevator opens into a dramatic private elevator lobby that is encased in custom millwork and accented with cove lighting. The landing then flows into the sprawling loft-like great room with 12’ +/- ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and direct access to the professionally landscaped 1,000 +/- sf wrap terrace with custom lighting and irrigation system. The great room – replete with a wood burning fire place, and discreetly built-in wine and bar storage – seamlessly flows into the breakfast room and gourmet chef’s kitchen that features custom cabinetry, marble counters, and the full suite of top-of-the-line appliances.

The public and private spaces of the penthouse are fully separated, which offers complete quiet and privacy when in the bedroom wing of the home. The expansive main bedroom features open city and park views, a wall of custom closets, a large walk-in closet with dressing area, and two separate en suite full baths. The second, king-sized, bedroom features an en suite bath, ample closet space, and breathtaking cityscape views. The 3rd room features floor to ceiling windows, a wood burning fire place, and direct access to the home’s terrace; it is a flexible space that can be used as an additional bedroom or a jaw-dropping home office.

Notably, the entire apartment was recently constructed anew to create a serene, well-tempered environment. Mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation systems were replaced. Windows and terrace doors include PPG Solarban glazing units and reinforced mullion profiles designed to withstand significant wind loads and temper the effects of glare and solar heat gain while maintaining the spectacular views of the East River and Manhattan skyline.

The Bellaire Condominium is a full-service, white-glove building with a rare cul-de-sac entrance on a prime Upper East Side block overlooking the East River. The building features enviable amenities that include on-site garage parking, health club, 60’ swimming pool, meeting room, and children’s play room.
