_5 bedroom penthouse at the top of the Marquand in NYC lists with Douglas Elliman | Knight Frank
Asking Price: $39,000,000
A concentrated shot of exotica, rich with texture, colours and materiality, this extraordinary triplex home at the top of The Marquand, dramatically dressed and designed, is a rarefied pedigree of architecture and interior design with the finest materials and top-of-the-range home technology and appliances.
Bold, dramatic, inimitable, extraordinary - these are all adjectives used to describe the soaring, lofty heights and staggering cubic volumes of this swagger of an apartment, the first time to come to open market, spanning 6,200 interior square feet and 2,600 exterior square feet all with 360 degree aspects onto the best views of the city.
A private open landing welcomes you to a large gallery and a monumental sculptural staircase connecting all levels and crowned with a skylight with plumes of light fanning out throughout the home. An open loft style entertaining space with corner living room and dramatic stone clad fireplace impresses with North, East, South and West city, skyline and park views.
The living room fantails into the dining room which comfortably seats 20 and features a wet bar. The sleek chef's kitchen with retractable wall for more formal entertaining offers a large breakfast room with a window facing the park and outstanding custom metal cabinets by St. Charles, calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, double sinks with Dornbracht fixtures and top-of-the-line chef appliances by Subzero, Wolf and Asko.
On the north side of the floor, there are two architect-designed home offices (one with gas fireplace and stunning built-in library shelves that could easily convert back to two additional bedrooms), an open media/family room and two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with en-suite bath.
There is also a professionally designed laundry room with double washer/dryer and a full bath. A powder room clad in slabs of African Saint Laurent marble completes this floor.
Ascend the stairs or use the elevator to the fabulous upper entertaining room. This sun-drenched room has 11-foot ceilings and is furnished with an indoor/outdoor gas fireplace clad in African Saint Laurent marble.
There is a full restaurant style backlit bar carved from a slab of white onyx, a wine refrigerator and dishwasher. Floor-to-ceiling French doors frame the room and lead on to a stunning 700 square foot wrap terrace with views towards Central Park and the southern skyline, and featuring an oversize fireplace clad in stone, full summer kitchen and lavish dining area for 16 special guests around the firepit dining table.
Back inside, the north side of the floor is the palatial Master Bedroom suite, which features a spectacular 11-foot high atelier style window with stunning open northern views and a private planted terrace.
There are two custom-outfitted dressing rooms lined in Japanese lacquer maple wood, an opulent spa bathroom clad in book matched slabs of panda marble with a deep spa tub, large steam shower, two water closets and double vanity with nickel storage cabinets.
Completing this one-of-a-kind home, the top floor includes a sun room/gym, powder room and a breathtaking 256 square foot terrace offering extraordinary views of the city.
A large storage room trades with the apartment.
11 East 68th Street is a white glove, boutique condominium, with just 26 apartments, in one of the most desirable locations on the upper east side. Amenities include a gym, children's playroom and live in resident manager.
