This palatial triplex penthouse is available atop the Gotham Condominium. This meticulously renovated, gracious six-bedroom residence flows seamlessly throughout its approximately 6,800 square feet. Designed and renovated in collaboration with architect David Bae, no detail was overlooked with its thoughtful planning and incorporation of the highest quality of materials.

The double-height foyer featuring Venetian plaster walls and French limestone flooring provides the first impression of the home’s close attention to detail. The adjacent media room fully paneled in lacquered Macassar ebony veneer sets the perfect tone for movie nights with a minibar and black granite powder room.

Designed for the ultimate home entertainer, the second level of the triplex home is dedicated to hosting guests for every occasion. The formal dining room with seating for up to 20 people has enviable details such as silk upholstered walls, custom silver leaf ceilings with cove lighting, and a butler’s pantry with a full prep kitchen. A terrace kicks off the night with its open southern views and is accompanied by an onyx clad powder room.

The formal living room leads out to the penthouse’s primary outdoor space, an impressive 175-foot long terrace. The terrace measuring 1,500 square feet comes fully landscaped with irrigation, lighting, sound system, Wi-Fi, and automatic awnings. The home features an additional 400 square feet of private space spread across multiple terraces and balconies. Through the gallery, a discerning buyer will notice the rich, yet subtle materials used, such as encased French limestone doorways and windowsills, Venetian plaster, and exotic bleached Anigre walls with an integrated, customizable art hanging system. A striking mother of pearl accent wall along with the custom glass and aluminum staircase leads down to the residence’s incomparable great room. At 700 square feet, the great room has south and west exposures with double balconies.

The impeccably designed kitchen is not only beautiful but also highly functional. Clad in Calacatta Vagli marble, the kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances such as Viking double ovens, warming drawers, and four burners and wok range. The kitchen also offers two dishwashers, a vented hood, a built-in Miele coffee machine, and a Gaggeneau package including a steam oven, freezer, and two full-sized refrigerators. The Boffi lacquered cabinetry conceals every item seamlessly for a clean aesthetic.

Tucked behind the kitchen, you’ll discover additional storage, a walk-in pantry with a temperature-controlled 600-bottle wine refrigerator, and a polished marble powder room. Next to the kitchen is the playroom, home gym, and staff room that can be easily reconfigured to create additional bedrooms or a dream master suite.

The uppermost level crowning the penthouse features four bedrooms, including an unmatched master suite. The vaulted master bedroom with double exposure facing south and west has hidden features like built-in media surround sound and a drop-down motorized projector. Flanked by double walk-in closets, the rose aurora clad master bathroom provides the ultimate comfort level with heated floors, a spa tub, a steam shower, and an enclosed water closet. Down the hall are three additional bedrooms with built-out closets and two bathrooms.

Built in 1991, East 87th Street is a 24-hour doorman and concierge building with amenities such as a health club with swimming pool, resident’s lounge, children’s playroom and outdoor playground located on the building’s shared terrace. Located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, The Gotham Condominium has easy access to transportation, groceries, and shopping.
