Graced with grandly proportioned rooms and enchanting treetop views, this extraordinary full-floor ten-into-eight room residence offers three large bedrooms plus a staff suite, four full bathrooms, and a powder room. Designed in 1928 by Raymond Hood and John M. Howells-the celebrated visionaries behind Rockefeller Center and the Daily News Building-the building was commissioned by Joseph Medill Patterson, publisher of The News, and remains a jewel of New York's Art Deco heritage. With only eleven residences, it provides a lifestyle of rare privacy and prestige.

From the moment the private elevator doors open into the gracious entry gallery, the apartment reveals itself as a home of timeless elegance. Every detail has been carefully curated to balance the sophistication of prewar architecture with the comforts and conveniences of today. State-of-the-art systems further enhance daily living, including a six-zone HVAC system with Daikin thermostats and a Crestron system that manages audio-visual features, lighting, and electric shades in the primary suite-all seamlessly integrated for ease and comfort.

The grand living and dining rooms, each framed by French doors that open to Juliet balconies, invite both large-scale entertaining and intimate gatherings. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, evoking warmth and tradition, while the adjacent library transforms into a state-of-the-art screening room with a discreet drop-down screen, Epson high-definition projector, and Bowers & Wilkins surround sound-an effortless blend of old-world refinement and contemporary sophistication. The library also features a beautifully appointed bar ideal for entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a statement of both design and function. Outfitted with custom SieMatic cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops, a center island that seats five, and Miele appliances, it is a space that inspires culinary creativity. A separate laundry area with Bosch washer and dryer adds seamless practicality to the daily rhythm of the home.
The private quarters are a sanctuary unto themselves. The primary suite is expansive and serene, featuring two custom-fitted closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom designed as a true retreat, complete with radiant heated floors, a steam shower, deep soaking tub, double sinks, and a separate windowed water closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms, each with their own en-suite windowed bath, provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. A staff bedroom and bathroom add flexibility to suit a variety of needs.

The building itself is steeped in history and architectural grandeur. It offers a discreet and exclusive setting just off Fifth Avenue and Central Park, enhanced by attentive service including a doorman on duty from eight in the morning until midnight and a live-in resident manager. Additional amenities include private storage and bicycle storage. A two percent flip tax is payable by the purchaser and the building allows up to 50% financing.
