240 Park Avenue South #PH

The triplex penthouse offers the most stunning private pool in all of Manhattan – a thirty feet long masterpiece constructed of custom blue Mosaic Bisazza and infinity glass wall. The entire roof of the building was raised to make way for a new mezzanine level addition offering a multilevel roof deck, with exposures on all four sides. The panoramic northern view to the Empire State and Chrysler buildings is as spectacular during the day as it is at sunset, dusk and the dead of night. An entertainment area with fireplace, wet bar and an enclosed lounge compliments the exquisite rooftop pool to perfection.

Additionally, as you enter the penthouse, a twenty four foot tall, book matched wall of hand selected Green Verdi Alpi Marble imported directly from the Swiss Alps is your first greeting with all the grandeur this penthouse has to offer – just one of the many architectural elements in the home that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

The luxurious marble entryway is perfectly juxtaposed with the use of steel, stone, leather, wood and glass throughout the home, making for a harmonious pairing of traditional Scandinavian design with the industrial and contemporary ambience of New York City design.

Residence at a Glance:
Upon entering 240 Park Avenue South, a keyed elevator grants entry into a Private Landing area for the Penthouse where a custom, sculptured front door of blackened brass and Cognac lined leather awaits your arrival.

Upon crossing the threshold, the Verdi Marble wall, speckled subtly with flecks of gold leads you to a magnificent and expansive Great Room boasting 24’ ceilings, six massive picture windows, a cleverly placed porthole window looking into the depths of the pool above, a gas fireplace and flat screen TV perfectly hidden behind a piece of artwork.

Thereafter lies the Kitchen with a 17’ long Gra Bla Marble Island and Gaggenau appliances. The kitchen boasts two oversized windows providing dazzling views and unprecedented light.

The private, south facing Primary Suite to the right of entry graciously offers a private Library, 13.5’ ceilings, five expansive windows, custom millwork including a floating master bed as well as a gracious dressing room with oak closets and interior leather detail finishes.

The five fixture Primary Bath contains a white marble Statuario soaking tub, Bisazza tiled double shower stall and double vanity.

From the Great Room, a cantilevered oak and floating glass curved staircase leads first to a Mezzanine Office/Bedroom with a skylight and custom built oak desk.

And finally, as you continue your journey through the penthouse and up the stairs, you enter the glass enclosed indoor/outdoor Rooftop Pavilion featuring a 30’ infinity glass pool doused in custom blue Mosaic Bisazza Tile. The multi-level Roman Travertine paved Rooftop Pavilion offers three separate seating areas, a gas fireplace, wet bar, double wine refrigerators, an indoor/outdoor kitchen, a flat screen TV, outdoor shower and 360 degree unobstructed views of the city.
