Description

Be the first to live in this full floor, 6 Bedroom, 5.5 Bathroom residences at The Benson, Madison Avenue’s newest and most luxurious residential development. With architecture and interiors designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects, this limestone clad building with intricate ironwork and distinctive mullioned windows sets a new standard for beauty, lifestyle, and service. This is a resale, not a sponsor sale, so there are no new development fees and taxes! As you enter this regal home through a custom wrought iron door, a Gallery welcomes you to a massive Great Room lined with a wall of West facing windows and gas fireplace. Off the Great Room is an oversized eat-in Kitchen with cabinetry by Christopher Peacock, featuring solid walnut interiors and honed Calacatta Gold marble on the island. Appliances include side by side Sub-Zero Refrigerator/Freezer units and a Miele package with an 8 burner, dual oven Range with a glass and polished nickel vented hood, Speed Oven, 2 Dishwashers, and a floor to ceiling Wine Fridge. On the other side of the Great Room is the spacious Library with views of the midtown skyline, which could also be used as a secondary Bedroom. A Primary Suite features a wall of bay windows with open views of Madison Avenue, two walk-in closets, and a 5-fixture Primary Bath with separate water closet, elliptical soaking tub, radiant heated floors, and oversized shower stall with rain showerhead. Four more Bedrooms round out this floor (3 ensuite), one of which is ideal as a Staff Room or Home Office with its own separate entrance. A large walk-in Laundry Room with full-sized vented Washer/Dryer complete these ample living quarters. With white oak floors in a Chevron pattern, Waterworks and Kalista fixtures throughout, high ceilings, and multi-zone, state-of-the art heating/cooling systems, no detail has been overlooked. The Benson is a 14-unit building with Doorman, Concierge, Resident Manager, and a Handyman/Porter. Amenities include a Gym with Peloton bikes, Steam and Sauna, Basketball Court, Cinema Room, Kid’s Playroom, Pet Spa, Bike Room, and Rooftop with panoramic views of the city.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
