About
his three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is a true jewel of flatiron area and 88-90 lexington avenue condominium.
its unique sprawling 530 sq. ft. terrace offers unobstructed city views and is a magnificent addition to the property's spacious living room that is ideal for both entertaining and smaller gatherings. with its high ceilings and oversized panoramic windows that capture light from double southern and western exposures, the space is enhanced by the design of the highly acclaimed workshop/apd, renowned for its attention to detail in all the materials and features. almost 3,000 sq. ft. in size including the terrace, residence 1506 embodies light, space, tranquility, and luxury.
the master bedroom is located in a separate wing of the residence providing absolute privacy and offering magnificent views of downtown manhattan. it boasts a large walk-in closet and a spacious five-fixture master bathroom, featuring an oversized wetstyle cube collection deep soaking tub, a large shower, radiant heated floors by nuheat, and philippe starck-designed hansgrohe fixtures. two additional bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, rival the master bedroom in both views and quality of materials.
interior details include cove and recessed overhead lighting, solid wood interior doors, and concealed window pockets pre-wired for electronic solar shades that have been installed. the contemporary kitchen features custom cabinetry made from european oak, a polished glassos slab countertop, an antique grey marble slab backsplash, dornbracht fixtures, a bertazzoni double-oven and cooktop, and a sub-zero refrigerator, freezer, and wine cooler with dual zones.
located in the most exclusive part of the city, at the intersection of flatiron and nomad, just off park avenue south and madison square park, 88-90 lexington avenue condominium, a recently converted prewar building, stands out for its boutique feel and exceptional service provided by the building staff. this luxury full-service condominium offers 5-star amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool, children's playroom, media room, and a stunning roof terrace.
additional storage unit can be offered for sale.
while this terrace offers a massive length that runs the full span of the loft, its 4-foot width makes it a linear observation deck rather than a lounge. it’s a spectacular "standing room only" gallery for midtown views—perfect for a breath of air, provided you don't mind staying single-file.

Expert Opinion:
too many terraces to keep track of (7) making the outdoor accessible from every major room. but the direct living terrace is the one that all terraces in manhattan will be measured against.

Expert Opinion:
living level with 18 feet of width and central park filling the frame, which is the arrangement everyone pictures when they say "terrace apartment." three separate outdoor spaces here, and this one does the heavy lifting. some neighbor sightlines exist, but at this height, who's really watching. no landscaping yet, just potential and good bones.
