MASSIVE WRAPAROUND TERRACE PANORAMIC CORNER VIEWS PRIVATE HOME THEATER TRUE PENTHOUSE LIVING Welcome to Penthouse A at 205 East 77th Street , an exceptional Upper East Side residence where dramatic outdoor space, panoramic views, and thoughtfully designed interiors come together in a truly rare offering. The undeniable centerpiece of the home is its extraordinary private wraparound terrace , surrounding the apartment with expansive southern and eastern exposures, brilliant natural light, open sky, and sweeping city views. Exceptionally large and remarkably private, the terrace feels like an outdoor extension of the residence itself, with ample room for multiple seating areas, al fresco dining, entertaining, gardening, and lounging. Morning coffee in the sun, dinner outdoors, cocktails at sunset, or evenings beneath the Manhattan skyline - this is the kind of private outdoor space that transforms everyday city living. Inside, oversized windows fill the residence with light throughout the day while framing the open exposures from nearly every room. The generous living and entertaining space has been enhanced with a custom 100-inch drop-down projection screen, premium surround-sound system, and high-end projector , creating an impressive private cinema experience that disappears seamlessly when not in use. The renovated open kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances and flows naturally into the main living space, making the layout equally comfortable for everyday living and entertaining. A beautifully finished, spa-inspired bathroom, in-unit washer/dryer , hardwood flooring, custom built-in storage, and a spacious walk-in closet in the primary bedroom complete the interiors. Recently installed CitiQuiet soundproof windows provide an added level of tranquility while preserving the apartment's remarkable light and views. Individual split-system heating and air conditioning allow for efficient, year-round climate control throughout the residence. Dover House is a highly regarded full-service cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, and a beautifully landscaped rooftop deck. Ideally positioned in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building is surrounded by outstanding restaurants, cafes, shopping, transportation, and neighborhood conveniences, with many of Manhattan's most celebrated cultural destinations just moments away. Penthouse A is far more than an apartment - it is a private retreat above the city, offering an extraordinary combination of light, views, entertaining space, technology, and one of the most impressive private terraces available on the Upper East Side.
