featured on nbc's tv show, open house nyc. light and views abound in this sprawling, high-floor four bedroom home graced by its own private 32' landscaped terrace, and boasting sunny, wide-open views of the dramatic east river. with panoramic exposures east, south and west, this feel-good condo home with low common charges shines brighter than most. the living room is the comfortable core of this rambling residence - the access point for the terrace (with its own timed watering system), and open to the unique corner dining area with its views east and south. the attractive kitchen, with its stone counters, ample cabinetry, and appliances by subzero and miele, is perfectly practical and sweetly sunny. off of the living room is one of the four oversized bedrooms with one of this home's four marble baths. this bedroom offers views of the terrace, and is perfectly positioned to serve as a guest suite or a flexible office/den. the grand master suite, like the other two big bedrooms, faces west and enjoys open sky and city views - not to mention dramatic sunset vistas. with its king-sized bedroom area, its walk-in closet, its separate office nook with handsome built-ins, its en suite marble bath, and its washer/dryer, this suite is truly a home within the home. with an easy flowing layout, enviable closet space throughout, and crown moldings, this condo has it all -- all atop a well-staffed, full service, pet-friendly building offering in-house garage and building laundry, and with convenient access to carl schurz park, the east river promenade, and to wonderful restaurants, shopping, specialty food stores and public transportation. your sky garden oasis awaits.
this living level terrace suffers from a serious identity crisis. while the access from the kitchen and bedroom is convenient, the 7-foot width is a deal-killer for functional dining. hampered by restricted views and cramped dimensions, the space remains more decorative than an actual extension of the home’s living area.

Expert Opinion:
direct living with fourteen and a half feet of width, which means the dining table and the lounge seating actually coexist without a turf war. the planters are in, the furniture works, and you can see into adjacent buildings about as well as they can see into you. a proper outdoor room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has nice dimensions; however, the prevailing winds over the hudson river can be restrictive, and the digitally removed privacy fence with the neighbor is a bit of an eyesore.

Expert Opinion:
wraparound on a true penthouse, ten feet wide and oriented three ways. that japanese maple didn't get there yesterday, and neither did the river view. a direct living terrace where dinner guests actually see the hudson, not just hear about it.
