Description

Perfectly situated atop a boutique prewar cooperative just moments from Central Park, this delightful full-floor penthouse residence is a Carnegie Hill gem. With ample surrounding terraces that provide sweeping, unobstructed views of the city skyline and Central Park, there is a magical sense of openness, ample sunlight throughout the residence, and an immense sense of privacy. Its prime Fifth Avenue-adjacent location is especially desirable for its access to Central Park’s outstanding features, such as the Conservatory Garden and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, as well as tennis courts and playgrounds. With direct (keyed) elevator access to the residence, the entrance Foyer opens to a lofted Great Room with a wood-burning fireplace and ample space for seating and dining. At over 36’ in length, this room’s high ceiling and eastern and western exposures, as well as access to the adjacent gloriously sun-drenched south-facing Library impart a loft-like sensibility only achievable in a full-floor penthouse. The Great Room also provides open access to the pristine white marble Kitchen, which is eastern-facing and bright and equipped with state-of-the-art appliances as well as very ample pantry storage and closets. From the Library, there is seamless access to the delightfully wide southern terrace that connects to terraces running along the eastern and western sides of the residence, and ultimately to the very large northern terrace. Providing the ideal purview from which to observe the city as well as a very glamorous entertainment space, the terraces offers open views in all directions including towards Central Park. Wrapping nearly the full circumference of the apartment, the terraces provide several outdoor dining and seating areas. The northern terrace incorporates a stainless steel outdoor kitchen with a refrigerator, freezer, built-in gas grill and ample room for large-scale entertaining. All terraces are electrified, irrigated and private. The private quarters are lovely, featuring a serene, western-facing Primary Bedroom with direct views of the Park, an ensuite marble bath, a terrace, and ample closets. Three additional Bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, boast open city views to the south. Cheerful and modern, this light-filled penthouse residence delights with its wonderful terraces and pretty views. Modern conveniences such as central air conditioning and an alarm system complement beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, and other prewar elements that imbue this residence with boundless charm. Built in 1926, The Pierpont is a charming cooperative with only 47 apartments and a newly-renovated lobby. The friendly, attentive staff includes 7 day-per-week doorman (7am-midnight) and a resident manager. Amenities include bicycle storage, central laundry, and access to private storage (as available, and for an additional fee). Pets are welcome.
