High above one of the most prestigious addresses in Manhattan, this triplex penthouse virtually brims with elegant classicism and contemporary comfort and convenience.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Long recognized as one of the most prestigious addresses in Manhattan, Park Avenue has symbolized luxury and refinement for at least a century. During the 1920s, construction of residences along the avenue from Grand Central Station to 96th Street began, and today this span of the city is home to some of the world\u2019s most precious real estate.<\/p>\n

Occupying the top three floors of a building between 89th and 90th Streets, this spectacular 7,000-square-foot penthouse<\/a> perfectly befits its address, with light-filled grandeur and a seemingly endless parade of lovely classical details. In the great room, a gas fireplace is surrounded by Carrara marble, and the oak floors are arranged in the style of traditional parquetry. The walls of the handsome study are paneled in custom mahogany. Chandeliers from Swarovski and Baccarat dazzle from above, Juliet balconies in many rooms provide ornamental romantic perches for glimpsing the neighborhood, and oak floors throughout have been fumed to create a rich, deep hue. Even the powder room is embellished with cast-glass moldings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A private keyed elevator opens directly to an august foyer, which in turn gives way to the great room, whose ceiling soars to a voluminous 14 feet. Just outside a pair of arched double doors is a terrace with a postcard-perfect New York view. The custom kitchen was designed by the esteemed Christopher Peacock and features an island, hand-painted cabinetry, Italian marble countertops, superior appliances from Gaggenau and Wolf, a dining area, and a picturesque view of the George Washington Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A gracefully winding staircase with an eye-catching decorative railing rises to the regal owner\u2019s suite, which occupies an entire floor and includes a media room or study, two generous walk-in closets, and a lavish spa-inspired bath clad in Bianco Dolomiti marble walls and white shell mosaic floors. In addition to Christopher Peacock vanities with onyx countertops, it boasts a freestanding Waterworks soaking tub and a spacious shower. Each of the four restful guest bedrooms, located on the level above, benefits from generous closets and an en suite bath. Crowning it all is a magnificent rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace, a swimming pool, a shady ramada, and an enviable vista of the sparkling cityscape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Adding to the appeal of this exceptional residence\u2014truly pristine, as it is on the market for the very first time\u2014are furnishings by the renowned Roberto Cavalli and Gianfranco Ferr\u00e9 along with custom silk drapes and carefully selected rugs. Classical elegance aside, the home affords every contemporary comfort and convenience: radiant heated flooring in all bathrooms and the kitchen, Savant smart home and Sonos music systems, Lutron lighting throughout, and state-of-the-art security that includes motion, glass break, and door sensors. Residents enjoy the building\u2019s numerous amenities, among them a fitness center and an impressively outfitted wine cellar and tasting room.<\/p>\n
