IT STARTS WITH THE VIEW: Floating high above one of NYC's most convenient, world class locations — at the most perfect penthouse level — are two open exposures with epic, postcard views East and South. Sunshine days and moonbeam nights enliven the big sky, big city vistas from every floor-to-ceiling window -- and both private terraces -- of this brand new, completely re-designed, fully renovated condominium masterpiece. Stunningly enrobed by some of NYC’s best city views, this stretch-out, highly livable, comfortable, designer home gives you a front row seat to extraordinary epic vistas: You experience world-class cityscapes downtown, and you enjoy some of the East River, and so, so much more.

SPACE GALORE: Smartly designed for ease of living, this rare, bi-level beauty was created on the coveted 38th and 39th floors of its famously well-run building. A double-corner, double-level custom home, this smart residence is comfortably scaled, expertly crafted, and well planned -- offering a big, open-plan living/dining great room (with access to one of the two private balconies), a stupendous eat-in cook's kitchen, a sit-down bar, a gallery hall, a handsome powder room, and a dual-sided gas fireplace,

KITCHEN: Rarely is form and function so beautifully paired as it is in this trophy residence. The design of the kitchen -- with its stone counters, ample custom cabinetry, suite of appliances (by Wolfe and Subzero), gas cooktop, and top-shelf fixtures -- is a marvelous marriage of pretty and practical. Served by a dining bar and an en suite dining area with dramatic city views, this curated culinary dream space has it all.

BEDROOMS & BATHS: Down the easy, dramatic stairs are the bedroom suites. Big, bright, and beautiful, these rooms — like the rest of this impressive residence — are large, and luxe, and enveloped by this home's signature epic views. The corner primary bedroom suite offers open vistas South and East, amole custom closets, a bonus en suite den, and its own private, corner balcony. Its ensuite marble bath enjoys custom cabinetry, stone floors, dual sinks with dual Famtimi faucets, and a separate jumbo shower. Both guest bedroom suites are well-scaled with good custom closets, and wonderful Eastern views — one with a full en suite bath, and the other served by a full hall bath. With a bonus, full laundry room with service entry, and with a bonus office/play space by the stairs, the lower level is bright, peaceful, and glorious.

HEAVENLY DESIGN: Every millimeter of this large, luxe home has been carefully considered and beautifully implemented. Custom lighting, custom millwork, a hidden bar, a hidden safe, heated bathroom floors, integrated AV system, electric blinds, wide, White Oak planks throughout, and top-tier fixtures serve to launch this custom home into its own gorgeous, designer orbit.

BUILDING & NEIGHBORHOOD: Supremely situated in its famously well-run, well-served, seasoned building with redone gym, dual entrances, bike/storage rooms, waterfall entry, private garden, and garage, this dream penthouse enjoys impeccable service from a friendly staff, and a resident manager. With an elegant location, whose conveniences come with bragging rights, this resplendent residence enjoys prime access to every area shopping, dining, cultural, culinary and fitness destination -- not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options.

High above it all, with an elevated design and wonderful walls of windows onto the glorious world beyond, a comfortable and special -- beyond beautiful -- penthouse home awaits you.
