About This Property
Penthouse Paradise with Private Terrace & Stunning River Views
Welcome to Penthouse D — a spacious, impeccably renovated 1-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence offering exceptional light, breathtaking East River views, and a spectacular wraparound private terrace designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with no expense spared.
Enter through a gracious foyer into a sun-drenched living room, where oversized windows frame sweeping river views and fill the space with natural light throughout the day. Generously proportioned, the living area easily accommodates a large sectional and additional seating, making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
A separate dining or home office area is highlighted by a striking picture window overlooking the river, creating a truly inspiring setting. Just adjacent, a sleek bar-top with seating and a built-in wine cooler adds both function and sophistication. The entire home features solid maple wood floors and motorized blinds throughout.
The beautifully renovated kitchen features abundant ceiling-height cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher, along with elegant stone countertops. A windowed layout enhances the space, offering views of the landscaped terrace and eastern skyline.
For added convenience, a windowed marble powder room is perfectly positioned for guests.
The serene bedroom suite enjoys tranquil East River views and lovely morning light. It includes a full wall of custom-built closets and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with generous storage and refined finishes.
Completing this exceptional home is the expansive wraparound terrace with built in retractable awnings — a true urban oasis ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply taking in the panoramic river and city views.
Located on a tree-lined street, right off the East River in the Lenox Hill section of the Upper East Side, John Jay House is a true full service cooperative. There is a doorman everyday 8am-Midnight, live-in super, laundry room and beautiful common roof deck. Close to all of the top Upper East Side restaurants, shopping, transportation, and easy access to the highway, this is a dream location.
Capital assessment in place till April 2028.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A foyer leads into the living room, and beside it a separate dining or home office area sits under a picture window that frames the river. The living area is large enough for a sectional plus additional seating, so it works for both quiet evenings and guests.
A bar-top with seating and a built-in wine cooler sits right beside that dining area, so the two spaces run together. The kitchen is set apart with ceiling-height cabinetry and stone countertops, a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher, and its window looks onto the terrace and the eastern skyline.
The bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a full wall of custom closets, and the listing describes it as getting morning light with East River views. A marble powder room near the entry is there for guests, which keeps the everyday rooms and the bedroom easy to separate. Motorized blinds run throughout the apartment.
The wraparound terrace has built-in retractable awnings, and the listing names outdoor dining and gardening as uses. A terrace that wraps around can change how an apartment gets used, especially on warm evenings when meals move outside.
The building is a 14-story elevator cooperative from 1964 with 102 units, and it's got a laundry room, a bike room and a roof deck. Central air, hardwood floors, crown molding and built-ins are part of the apartment. John Jay Park is about one minute on foot, the East River Walk about two minutes, and the 72 St station on the Q is about 10 minutes away. D'Agostino is about six minutes on foot.
