Property Description for 235 East 55th Street, PH-A
Sponsor Unit - No Board Approval
Soaring above the city on the 46th floor, Penthouse A is a light-filled 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom duplex offering nearly 1,900 square feet of elevated living space and a private outdoor terrace. Sweeping northern, eastern, and southern exposures capture sparkling East River vistas and dramatic skyline views. Recently renovated, this striking residence combines modern elegance with inviting comfort, creating an oasis in the sky.
The expansive living and dining area welcomes you with nearly 20-foot ceilings and an electric fireplace, creating a warm yet airy setting for both entertaining and everyday living. Expansive windows flood the space with natural light and frame panoramic cityscapes.
The renovated kitchen is both sleek and functional, featuring crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous countertops, and abundant storage.
On the main level, the spacious second bedroom enjoys Southern and Eastern exposures with direct views of the East River, a walk-in closet, and easy access to a marble-clad full bathroom.
Upstairs, a flexible third bedroom or home office with 10-foot ceilings and North-facing windows offers a quiet retreat with a glimpse of Central Park.
The tranquil primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, complete with two walk-in closets, Southern and Eastern exposures, and direct access to the private terrace. The en-suite, windowed bathroom is finished in marble and features a soaking tub, separate standing shower, and dual vanities.
Additional highlights include new white oak flooring throughout and an in-unit washer and dryer. With no board approval, this is a rare opportunity to rent a striking penthouse residence in the sky.
The Capri is a luxury full-service building with only 40 apartments in total. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge and live-in super. Centrally located on the East Side, The Capri is within a short distance of multiple subway lines (4, 5, 6, E, M, N, Q, R, F) and Citi Bike stations. In addition to its close proximity to many transportation hubs, The Capri is also situated around an abundance of the best restaurants and conveniences including Whole Foods, Equinox, Soul Cycle and Central Park.

Turtle Bay | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Turtle Bay is best known for hosting the world’s dignitaries at United Nations once a year as the world institution sits on the eastern edge of the neighborhood along the East River.
But this midtown location offers a lot more, a bustling neighborhood teeming with high-rise apartment buildings and an easy walk to the Midtown business district.
Over the past two decades, developers have assembled almost every corner development site along Second Avenue and have built straight up. Not much left to assemble.
Some of the more glamorous, and of course most expensive, addresses are in close proximity to the United Nations. Trump World Tower, which caused a big stir with area residents, in particular, Walter Cronkite, when it was built sits just north of the United Nations Grounds.
In contrast to the proliferation of the residential highrise, Turtle Bay does have some lovely tree-lined streets between the avenues. In particular, Turtle Bay Gardens, which fronts both 48th Street and 49th Street between Third and Second Avenue has always been a haven for the rich and famous.
