2166 Broadway, PH

Above Broadway. Above Everything. There is no apartment like this one. Perched atop the full-service Opera building on a floor entirely its own, this extraordinary five-bedroom penthouse feels like a countryside villa suspended above the city — distinguished by its signature red Spanish tile roof, dramatic sloped architecture, and wraparound terraces with unobstructed 360-degree views of Central Park, the Hudson River, the Midtown skyline, and the George Washington Bridge Step through the foyer and the city falls away. Vaulted 16-foot white-washed cedar ceilings soar above a voluminous great room flooded with light from triple exposures, a corridor of skylights, and south- and north-facing terraces. A stone-clad wood-burning fireplace anchors the open living and dining area, while a chef's kitchen flows seamlessly into the space designed for both grand entertaining and quiet mornings. A temperature-controlled glass solarium extends the living space further, offering year-round indoor-outdoor dining framed by the iconic skyline and the slow burn of Hudson River sunsets. Multiple terraces draw you outside at every hour of the day. The penthouse is organized into two distinct private wings. The eastern wing is anchored by a serene primary suite with Central Park views, direct terrace access, a wood-burning fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with both a soaking tub and shower, each positioned to capture river views. Above, a skylit studio offers a private and inspiring workspace. Three additional bedrooms, two versatile loft spaces, and a dedicated laundry room complete this wing. In the western wing, a beautifully renovated loft bedroom features double-height windows with sweeping river views, a fully reimagined en-suite bath with radiant heated floors, walk-in closet, and a mezzanine loft ideal as a studio or library. Wide-plank hardwood floors, multi-zone climate control, abundant custom built-ins, and storage throughout complete this exceptional home. Thirteen steps above the 24th floor, this is where the city ends and something rarer begins. Originally built as a neo-Gothic church and later reimagined as the Manhattan Towers Hotel, The Opera has been a landmark of the Upper West Side since 1930. The building offers 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in resident manager, and bike storage. The Opera building sits at the heart of one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses. Central Park is steps away — the Reservoir path, the Ramble, the Great Lawn — a world class backyard for a home of this caliber. Riverside Park extends four miles along the Hudson, offering waterfront promenades and some of the best sunset views in the city. For those who appreciate the finest in dining and food, Zabar's, and Fairway are neighborhood institutions, while Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue are lined with acclaimed restaurants and boutiques befitting one of New York's most elegant residential corridors.
