Property Description for 27 West 72nd Street, PH-A

Central Park block spectacular, downtown-like, mint condition Penthouse Condo. The most amazing outdoor space in Manhattan with fabulous sunlight and sweeping views!

This unique and gorgeous loft-like duplex boasts 4 super spacious bedrooms plus a large windowed office-and EVERY room in the house has an open exposure. The 3500 square feet of
unparalleled outdoor space is the equivalent of the best backyard in the sky-an exciting entertaining and recreation space-with the unusual combination of views and total safety.

Off the elevator, step into an entry gallery on the top floor which leads to the magnificent and jaw dropping great room, which stretches over 37 feet long and over 19 feet wide with over 10 foot ceilings. Enormous windows on 3 sides create the ultimate architecturally correct glass box, still allowing room for art and furniture, and the rare confluence of fabulous light and warmth. The terrace can be accessed via regular glass doors and for those occasions you want to bring the outdoors in, there are sliding bi-fold glass doors.

The Western portion of the terrace features new turf surfacing, a basketball hoop, trampoline, a large dining area, and an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill with gas line. The Eastern portion has a full lounge area with an outdoor TV, ping pong area, heating lamp and gorgeous views of Central Park and the Dakota. The terrace is also beautifully planted with an automated irrigation system, lighting system, and electric awning.

The state of the art West facing eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight with a six burner Wolf stove with vented hood, Wolf oven, Thermador dishwasher and 2 Subzero refrigerators and freezers. There is endless counter space and storage space, an extra large counter for dining, and gigantic windows. Off the kitchen is a powder room with shower.

Downstairs there are 4 bedrooms, a large office and 3 full bathrooms. All of the bedrooms and the office face South with open views. The luxurious primary suite has a beautiful en-suite bathroom with double vanity, large bathtub and spa like glass shower. The walk in closet is the one of the largest imaginable!

Three other bedrooms are all generously sized with great closets. One has an en-suite bathroom and the 2 others share a hall bathroom. The office has great built-ins and is spacious
enough to accommodate 2 people working at the same time.

Completing this floor is a giant, extra storage closet and a large laundry room. There is also access to a common hallway and the elevators from this floor for ease returning from traveling with suitcases.

Additional amenities of this extraordinary home include a brand new, multi-zoned central AC system with smart control thermostats, Control4 lighting system, and automatic shades.

play room, and cold storage. Two storage bins transfer with this sale.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
