Property Details
Description
A townhouse in the sky-where Manhattan unfolds in every direction.
Perched at the crown of the city, this extraordinary penthouse is defined by a spectacular planted entertaining terrace-an outdoor room in the sky-while the residence itself enjoys four distinct exposures, capturing light, skyline, and cityscape from every side. Sunrises, sunsets, Central Park, Midtown-every view, every hour, completely yours.
Spanning two full floors, the home has been thoughtfully curated to feel fluid, warm, and livable-an elegant counterpoint to the pace of New York below. Oversized picture windows frame sweeping vistas, while gracious public rooms transition effortlessly into more intimate private spaces, anchored by the terrace as the home's emotional and architectural centerpiece.
Living & Entertaining Level
The lower level unfolds as a sequence of expansive yet welcoming entertaining rooms, all bathed in natural light. The corner living and dining rooms are positioned to capture dramatic north and west city views, with Central Park stretching into the distance. A richly appointed library and study open directly to the terrace, creating a rare indoor-outdoor rhythm ideal for both large-scale entertaining and quieter moments.
The kitchen and adjacent breakfast and media rooms are designed for ease and flow, supporting both formal gatherings and everyday living without interruption.
Private Bedroom Level
The upper level is dedicated to private living, offering exceptional separation, scale, and privacy.
Primary Suite: Occupying its own secluded wing, the primary bedroom enjoys open northeast exposures, welcoming morning light and tranquil skyline views. Dual dressing rooms and spa-like baths are thoughtfully oriented to preserve privacy while maintaining a sense of air and calm.
Additional Bedrooms:
Two corner bedrooms are positioned to capture sweeping north and west views, each with fireplaces and an unmistakable sense of scale.
Additional bedrooms and sitting rooms are oriented along the south and east, benefiting from consistent light and expansive city vistas throughout the day.
Together, the bedroom wings create a true residential experience-quiet, private, and intentionally removed from the entertaining spaces below.
Set atop the iconic 500 Park Tower, a white-glove condominium offering full service and discretion, this residence combines architectural pedigree with a rare sense of openness and serenity. Perfectly positioned at the intersection of the Upper East Side and Midtown East, it offers immediate access to Central Park, world-class dining, shopping, and effortless walkability.
This is not simply a penthouse.
It's a horizon-level home-where New York feels expansive, calm, and entirely yours.
