PHOTO 1: The penthouse terrace stretches 39 feet - north, east, and south - ensuring a sunny disposition from breakfast till barbeque. PHOTO 2: The corner living room is light and airy with large windows. The building's architect originally envisioned the addition of a windowed office/den with a walk-in closet off the living room - thus converting the penthouse into a 3.5 or 4 room home. PHOTO 3: The kitchen has roomy custom-built cabinets, stone counters and backsplash, and stainless steel appliances - a double (French) door refrigerator with water filter and ice maker, a gas range, a convection/microwave oven, and a dishwasher. PHOTO 4 & 5: The bedroom functions as additional entertaining space or an office thanks to the attractive cabinetry which conceals a comfortable queen size Murphy bed, storage, and two pull-out desk areas. PHOTO 6 & 7: The bathroom has been cleverly enlarged and reconfigured so it also functions as a convenient guest powder room. A washer/dryer can be added. PHOTO 8-10: Create your own garden complete with fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs. FLOOR PLAN: Three rooms with the possibility of creating a fourth by dividing the living room. Five closets including a large walk-in. (Storage/bike room and laundry in the basement).

A Whole Foods supermarket, a choice of health clubs, and all daily conveniences are within 2 blocks . A 5 minute jog takes you to Central Park or to Sutton Place Park and the East River Promenade.
