SPECTACULAR PREWAR PENTHOUSE DUPLEX - 5,500 SQ FT


Perched high above one of Manhattan's most distinguished prewar cooperatives, this extraordinary 14-room penthouse duplex offers approximately 5,500 square feet of grand-scale living surrounded by spectacular landscaped terraces. Ideally situated on East 64th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues, on one of the Upper East Side's most beautiful tree-lined blocks within the Historic District, this exceptional residence combines the elegance and architectural grandeur of a classic prewar home with the rare luxury of expansive private outdoor space.

A private elevator landing opens directly into an impressive south-facing center gallery, where extraordinary natural light pours through the residence throughout the day. Beyond the gallery is a truly magnificent 27-by-23-foot living room, distinguished by soaring ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, three exposures, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows. Surrounded on three sides by beautifully landscaped terraces, the living room enjoys remarkable open views, with Central Park visible in the distance. The extraordinary scale, light, architecture, and connection to the outdoors make this an exceptional space for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living.

On the opposite side of the gallery, a gracious corner dining room features a second wood-burning fireplace and four sets of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking additional landscaped terraces. With open views extending as far south as the Chrysler Building, the room provides an exceptional setting for formal entertaining. Adjoining the dining room is an expansive 31-by-12-foot eat-in kitchen, complemented by a separate breakfast room. With eastern and western exposures, both spaces are filled with sunlight and enjoy an unusual sense of openness. A bright staff room /home office with a full-sized bath completes this level.

The private bedroom level is arranged in two expansive wings, offering exceptional flexibility and the potential for as many as seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. With exposures in all four directions, every room enjoys abundant natural light and open views. The south-facing corner primary suite is particularly impressive, featuring a generously proportioned renovated bathroom, a large dressing room, and a walk-in closet.

Built in 1927 and designed by prominent architect Kenneth Murchison in the elegant Neo-Classical style, the cooperative is one of the Upper East Side's distinguished prewar residences. A full-service white-glove building, it offers the highest level of service, security, and privacy. 50% financing permitted. 2% flip tax payable by purchaser.
