Penthouse Perfection
A rare opportunity to own a spectacular penthouse aerie, a doorman-attended condominium in one of the East Sixties grandest limestone mansions, steps from Central Park. Designed by America’s greatest classical revivalist, Horace Trumbauer in the neo-French Classic style, the 42 foot wide mansion was built for Alice Troth Drexel in 1903. The Penthouse boasts a suite of superb reception rooms, a dramatic 2-story Gallery & light-flooded Living Room with original architectural detail painstakingly restored by museum-trained artisans. These rooms are distinguished by soaring 23’ high ceilings, exquisite original boiserie, elegant parquet-de-Versailles flooring and original marble fireplace surrounds. A spacious corner paneled Library and well-proportioned Formal Dining Room featuring 18th century French panels overlook a sunny, south-facing terrace with majestic views of the city and Central Park. May be purchased individually, by a corporate entity or trust & is sold with outside storage.
