Description

Perched atop a charming boutique prewar building, this one-of-a-kind triplex one-bedroom penthouse offers the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle in the heart of Manhattan. Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, this sun-drenched home features a bright, airy living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings and stylish entertaining.

Natural light floods the home through oversized windows, while through-the-wall air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. This rare penthouse combines privacy, character, and the luxury of outdoor living-all in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.


Located just moments from Madison Square Park, Union Square, and the 6 subway line, you'll enjoy easy access to top dining, shopping, and transportation.


Situated in a well-maintained, pet-friendly elevator building, 160 East 26th Street features:

  • A live-in super
  • Central laundry room
  • 80 percent financing allowed
  • Parents buying and guarantors welcome

With only 48 one-bedroom units across seven stories, this intimate building offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in a prime location.
