Property Status: Active Duplex Penthouse in an Emery Roth-Designed Prewar Building with Two Private Terraces This exceptional duplex penthouse has been freshly renovated, offering the rare opportunity to be the first to call its reimagined interiors home. The residence occupies the top two floors of an intimate boutique building and encompasses approximately 3,868 square feet of interior living space and 1,091 square feet of private outdoor space across two terraces. A gracious entry gallery, complete with a powder room, welcomes you into the home. Reflecting the grand scale associated with Emery Roth's finest prewar residences, a sweeping staircase serves as the home's architectural centerpiece, connecting the two levels. The lower floor features five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath. One of the bedrooms, complete with a functional wood-burning fireplace, is ideally suited as a family room, den, media room, or guest suite. A dedicated laundry room and a separate service staircase connect both levels. Centered around a wood-burning fireplace, a grand living room opens directly onto a wraparound terrace that is large enough to accommodate multiple outdoor living, dining, and entertaining areas. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, the terrace enjoys sweeping views over Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, and the East River. The adjacent dining room is generously proportioned for everything from intimate dinners and large-scale entertaining to a combined dining and family room setting, and flows seamlessly into an incredible windowed kitchen featuring more counter space, storage, and cabinetry than most New York apartments. An oversized walk-in pantry, rarely found in Manhattan, provides exceptional storage and is complemented by a conveniently located powder room just beyond. he second terrace serves as an extension of these spaces, with room for both outdoor dining and separate lounge seating, abundant natural light, and partial East River views. Located moments from Carl Schurz Park, the East River Esplanade, Gracie Mansion, and the NYC Ferry landing, this is a rare opportunity to lease a true, Emery Roth-designed prewar penthouse, offering exceptional privacy, outdoor living, and sweeping park and waterfront views.
