- We're excited to have you on Park Avenue South.
This penthouse is located in downtown Manhattan
in the Flatiron District near Gramercy Park.
Today, we're going on a bespoke craftsmanship journey
through 6,000 square feet of extraordinary design,
millwork, creativity,
for the ultimate in New York homes.
Your journey today is provided by Soren Rose,
the architect, and his vision for magnus opus.
This penthouse features 6,000 square feet on three levels,
three bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms,
and the most magnificent penthouse pavilion pool
with panoramic views of all of Manhattan.
This property has just become available
and on the market for $30 million.

So let's start our journey
through this magnificent penthouse in the grand salon.
The extraordinary details of architectural elements,
starting with full height windows
affording you the great panoramic views of Manhattan.
The hallmark of this home are the stunning,
extraordinary, wide angle views.
360 degrees of downtown Manhattan.
The idea of the property is a continual curve element
of design features that include steel, stone,
glass, leather, and wood.
You'll see them throughout the property
and you'll understand the harmony they create
in this lifestyle.
Accented by the 14 foot ceilings,
the space is open and it flows in a circle,
very similar to the design plan of the Guggenheim Museum.
No great home would be complete without a working fireplace.
Well, we have two.
[upbeat music]
As we continue our grand salon tour
into the dining area,
I first wanna point out our porthole,
where you're going to see a glimpse of the pool
that's above us.
As you can see, the dining area is large
and perfect for entertaining any and all of your friends.
The architect, Soren Rose, have continued this
extraordinarily light architectural design,
which has Scandinavian elements
mixed with New York industrial.
[upbeat music]
This kitchen, which is an Arclinea-designed one,
has been delivered in its entirety as a single piece.
17 foot long Gra-Bla marble counter.
It's extraordinary and definitely the sculpture piece
of the kitchen.
That, interesting enough,
had to have its own window created in the building
in order to hoist it into the kitchen area.
Clean design, all Gaggenau-equipped appliances,
and an openness so you can entertain
while not missing any moment on the stove.
Now that you've had an introduction to our grand space,
I'm going to take you into the private master wing.
[upbeat music]
On our way to the master suite,
I'd love to point out this extraordinary stairwell,
which is actually the anchor to this yacht-themed home.
An extraordinary design feat
made out of curved glass and floating oak steps.
Most people look for the imperfection in masterpieces.
We have one right here.
Note the weed that's growing out from the ground.
This was a gift, a bit of a comical one.
The design team here planted this bronze weed
as a gift to the owner, just letting him know
that perfection comes at some cost.
Let me show you the signature element of this home,
right behind me,
this 24 foot high Alpi Verde green marble.
Found in the Swiss Alps,
in the exact same quarry
that Mies van der Rohe produced the marble
for the Barcelona Pavilion.
It is the hallmark of this home.
Starting on this floor, soaring up to the mezzanine level,
and then topping off on the rooftop.
There's simply nothing like it in all of Manhattan
residential real estate.
[upbeat music]
So here we are in the master suite.
As promised, more drama, more architectural design.
Look around, these are the most extraordinary oak cabinets.
Each of them interior designed with leather fittings.
The floor to ceiling windows
point out the extraordinary southern views of Manhattan,
including the most dramatic of all sunsets.
The size, the height, the sheer space of this master suite
is something all of us would love to recline in.
Of course, every grand master suite
must have a grand master bath.
Let's go check it out.
[upbeat music]
And this is the master bath that I promised.
How about this bathtub?
It is a single slab statuary marble.
These spectacularly built and designed custom closets
with leather trim.
On top of that, we have a five fixture bathroom,
including an extraordinary double shower stall.
We have an entire wall of Bazzaro tile
with a full clean view of the Empire State Building.
So this is merely the beginning, the first floor.
We're onward to the next level, the mezzanine.
[upbeat music]
This is a ship-inspired hideaway for the owner,
office as well as third bedroom.
Extraordinary custom work done in this area,
specifically the inlay cabinetry work.
Notice the glass ceiling above us.
To maintain your privacy,
we also have this extraordinary peek-a-boo wall
to look down on the great room and yet not be observed,
and with just a touch of the button.
[upbeat music]
In addition on this mezzanine level,
we have a beautiful ensuite bathroom.
[upbeat music]
Here we are.
I promised it, the penthouse pavilion.
A glass-enclosed entertainment area that is spectacular.
Both winter and summer, one can come up here,
with a full marble kitchen.
It also is year-round heat controlled
as well as air-conditioned.
But, with a removable wall
so one can do indoor, outdoor entertaining.
As I promised, that monumental stonework
that we saw downstairs.
Note the 18 inch wide plank oak floors.
They are installed throughout the home.
These floors absolutely represent
the continuation of the harmony of the design of the home.
So now you've experienced the inside,
with this glass surround room,
but nothing is as exciting as actually going out there.
[upbeat music]
The rooftop, 360 degree views of the best of Manhattan.
Accented by a 30 foot heated pool with glass infinity edge.
Note our glass stairs up to another entertainment area.
That's the roof of the mezzanine room
that we were in earlier.
A full array of seating,
multiple levels for dining and entertaining,
topped off by a gas fireplace.
Besides the entertaining area,
we have on this same level,
a bathroom and changing room, storage room,
wraparound views.
The views continue forever.
I'm sure you agree with me,
after seeing this rooftop and its pavilion,
it is definitely the most magnificent entertaining space
in all of Manhattan.
[upbeat music]
So happy you came with us today
on this journey through architectural splendor.
Thank you to Soren Rose
for this extraordinary design element,
incorporating, don't forget those five elements
of steel, stone, leather, wood, and glass.
The features of this home include
three levels, 6,000 square feet,
three bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms,
large grand entertainment areas,
as well as a mezzanine level of privacy and design.
On top of it all, we have the penthouse pool pavilion,
complete with that 30 foot heated pool.
And it just doesn't get any better than this.
All of this, on the market for $30 million.
