Description

The ultimate in privacy and luxury awaits you as you enter this expansive terraced three-bedroom, three-bathroom sun-drenched penthouse duplex. The architecturally significant home is wrapped in not one, but two incredible terraces and the stunning City views surround the home no matter the time of day or season of the year.

One enters the home from your very own private landing. The sprawling upper floor encompasses the main living space of the apartment; the large living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, high beamed ceilings, and two entrances to the south facing terrace. The formal dining room with its own wood-burning fireplace sits on the opposite side of the home and has entrance to the enormous northern facing terrace: the perfect landscape for dining al fresco, entertaining on a grand scale, creating a garden paradise, or simply enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening stargazing. The adjacent eat-in windowed chef's kitchen is replete with stainless steel counter tops, loads of cabinets, appliances by Samsung and Subzero, and a stacked Frigidaire washer/dryer.

The primary bedroom suite is tucked away in its own wing and has two large custom-fitted closets and a sumptuous five-piece marble bath with oversized jacuzzi tub. Completing the upper floor is an additional den or library.

The lower-level of the home comprises two sizable guest rooms and a large jack-and-jill designer bathroom. Both bedrooms are sun-flooded from southern exposures and have wonderful closet space. Additionally, there is a separate wine closet and an entrance to the lower bedroom wing from the elevator landing.

Finished hardwood floors throughout, thru-wall AC, several custom closets including an oversized walk-in, tasteful built-ins, and unique skylights throughout complete this rare offering.

Built in 1929 and converted to cooperative in 1985, 225 East 79th Street is an elegant full service prewar cooperative with 17 stories and 80 units. The services include a live-in Resident Manager, full-time door staff, and both bike and private storage rooms. Pied a terres and pets permitted.

Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side with easy access to Central Park, the finest dining and shopping, museums, and all forms of transportation, this ultra glamorous penthouse offers its new owner the finest of both interior and exterior living which only a trophy property can deliver.

Please note there are two capital assessments totaling $1,876.47 until May 2027
