Exclusive Skytop Sanctuary: A Luxurious Penthouse Retreat with Breathtaking Hudson River Panoramas on the Upper West Side
Enhanced by breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Hudson River, this exquisite penthouse on the Upper West Side encapsulates the epitome of luxury living. Encompassing a generous expanse of 2,200 square feet, this sun-soaked corner abode boasts three bedrooms, each accompanied by its own en suite bathroom. Meticulously curated in 2016, the interiors radiate sophistication and style.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious gallery that features a 4-foot deep entry closet on the left and a dual closet on the right. Stepping forward, you are immediately welcomed into the expansive 35-foot by 13-foot Great Room, bathed in light from its western and northern exposures. The panoramic windows offer a captivating dual view: the majestic Hudson River with its mesmerizing sunset views extending beyond the New Jersey horizon, and the iconic George Washington Bridge. The dining area, comfortably accommodating 8-10 guests, leaves ample room for entertainment. Enhanced by venetian plaster walls, elevated ceilings adorned with intricate layered molding, and subtle cove lighting, the room emanates an air of elegance.
A unique feature of this penthouse is the remarkable 62-square-foot wine cellar, nestled adjacent to the Great Room. Encased in tinted glass, it caters to the needs of wine enthusiasts who relish both collection and entertainment.
The open, windowed kitchen, offering a partial Central Park view, is a culinary masterpiece. Adorned with statuary marble countertops, bespoke cabinets, and premium appliances including a Wolf 36" Burner Range top with an electric oven, a Subzero 30” refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher, it leaves no detail unattended. The kitchen island, seating up to four, features ingenious toe-kick drawers, a testament to the meticulous design.
Transitioning southwards from the Great Room, a James Bond-esque library/3rd bedroom awaits. Boasting western views, custom navy lacquer cabinetry, a concealed walk-in closet, a discreet wet bar with an ice maker, a retractable bed, a HearthCabinet™ ventless decorative fireplace, and sound-isolated walls behind the bookshelves, this space is an embodiment of sophistication. An en suite bathroom, adorned in Carrara marble, adds an extra touch of luxury.
To the north of the entry, two side-by-side bedrooms beckon, one of which is the primary suite. The primary suite boasts an oversized walk-in closet, custom-made cabinets, insulation behind the wall of the adjoining apartment, and a lavish primary bath. Adorned with calacatta gold marble tile, a custom vanity, venetian plastered walls, a built-in TV, a spacious shower, double sinks, and a Toto toilet, it epitomizes opulence. The remaining bedroom features a Murphy bed and en suite bath, with the potential for conversion into a study, complete with a discreet floating desk. Both attached bathrooms feature heated floors.
Elevated ceilings, oak herringbone floors, numerous bespoke closets, Lutron shades and lighting, updated HVAC units with thermostats, a large laundry room with a Miele washer/dryer, and Kohler fixtures in all bathrooms define the interior spaces. From this vantage point, enjoy the spectacle of planes ascending and descending from both LaGuardia and Newark airports.
