One-Of-A-Kind 41st Floor 2 Bedroom Penthouse with Views and a Terrace

Awash in sunlight from south, east and west exposures, this incomparable 2 Bedroom 2 Bath penthouse features a dramatic corner-exposure living room with 16 foot ceilings and 14 oversized windows offering stunning views of Manhattan, the East River, the Chrysler Building, the United Nations and the Freedom Tower. Last offered for sale 22 years ago and long considered the building's crown jewel apartment, the living room has two pairs of sliding glass doors which open onto a private 98 square foot wrap-terrace. A tall spiral staircase, which leads up to an approx. 105 square foot mezzanine loft overlooking the living room, lends a wonderful sculptural quality to the home.

Adjacent to the dining area is a renovated open kitchen with a window that has been finished with modern wood cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The large south-east corner exposure bedroom has stunning city and river views, a large windowed en-suite bathroom with views of the United Nations and a customized walk-in closet. The spacious second bedroom with oversized windows facing east offers views of the East River, the United Nations and Long Island City. A second full bathroom sits just off a gracious entrance foyer.

Please note that the real estate taxes quoted include an abatement for use as primary residence. If not occupied as a primary residence, the real estate taxes would be $1,959 per month.
