Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Roughly 2,500 square feet of wraparound outdoor space is what sets this full-floor penthouse apart, and it sits alongside about 2,600 interior square feet. The terrace has several seating and dining areas, and the primary suite opens directly onto it, so you can move between the bedroom and open air without crossing the living room. High ceilings like these give a room more volume, and I'd make a point of seeing the terrace in person to judge how the dining area and views work together.

The living space is framed by 11-foot ceilings and walls of glass, and the rooms are described as light-filled. The windowed kitchen has top-tier appliances and stone surfaces and connects to the main entertaining areas, which suits a home where hosting matters as much as cooking. The home has two bedrooms plus a home office that can be converted to a third bedroom, so a guest room or a work room fits without losing the layout.

Central air and an electric fireplace are part of the home, and the apartment has a washer and dryer inside it. Smart home technology includes automated shades, one-touch lighting and built-in surround sound, and the primary bath has marble finishes. The view covers skyline, river, park, downtown, bridge and ocean views.

The building dates to 1999 and has 38 stories and 218 units. Its amenities include a concierge, an elevator, a gym, a courtyard, a garden, a roof deck, a package room, a bike room, and garage and valet parking. A 24-hour doorman takes care of deliveries and guests.

The Lexington Av/59 St station is about 10 minutes on foot and serves the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W lines. Queensboro Oval is about 2 minutes away, Andrew Haswell Green Park about 4, and Trader Joe's about 1 minute. The Frick Collection is about 21 minutes away.
