Both an idyllic retreat and entertainer's dream home, Penthouse E's open 2 bed 2.5 bath loft-style layout is distinguished by its clean lines wrapping triple exposures, unique vantage point that affords spectacular views, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto coveted outdoor space from every room.


A gracious foyer with powder bath flows into seamless living and entertaining space accentuated by five floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening directly onto the north-facing terrace. The well-equipped chef's kitchen with oversized island includes a breakfast bar, wine refrigerator, and pantry. The main level bedroom features a windowed en-suite bath and opens onto an expansive south-facing terrace adorned with a pergola. From sunrise to sunset, enjoy al fresco dining, lounging, and views in every direction from multiple terraces.


A contemporary staircase leads to the private master suite wrapped by two terraces facing north and south with open views in multiple directions. Embellished with a dressing room and abundance of closets, this sanctuary features an exceptional en-suite windowed bathroom with an oversized shower, deep soaking tub, and double-sink vanity. Also on the 9th floor is a large storage room accessed by a keyed elevator.
