A truly spectacular triple mint Fifth Avenue penthouse, offering exceptional scale, light, and unmatched Central Park and City views!

A north-facing glass door opens directly onto the terrace, where sweeping Park views unfold. Inside, the living room features custom cabinetry, a built-in desk with Park views, a cleverly concealed wet bar, and a hidden television discreetly tucked behind a sliding art wall. The formal dining room is perfectly proportioned and enjoys a large north-facing picture window with breathtaking views extending to the George Washington Bridge and across Central Park. The chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional, with two large north-facing windows showcasing open City and Park views.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile east-facing room, ideal as a third bedroom, den, or guest suite, featuring two large windows, open City views, and a renovated en-suite bathroom.
