16.5 million duplex penthouse apartment

best views of central park in the entire
city
[Music]

to the penthouse at the layton right off
of this entryway this is your double
height great room in this duplex this
place has four bedrooms four bathrooms
it's just over 3 500 square feet
interior with an additional 200 square
feet exterior in my opinion this is one
of the most beautiful penthouses in the
upper east side and here is an in-depth
tour wait until you see what's behind
the camera but for now i want to take
you back to the entryway and show you
what we have off here you have your
closet space right by the front door
then off to the right
this is technically one of the four
bedrooms but it's currently staged as
the home office you have
floor-to-ceiling glass windows with the
most beautiful views of central park
billionaires row you can even see the
hills and the hudson valley off to
jersey and it even has its very own
ensuite bathroom steam shower behind me
with this awesome combed rock going up
halfway up the walls also optimizing
that space in the new york city
apartment you have pocket doors on every
single door by heading back through this
room which is currently staged as the
home office i want to show you what you
clicked on welcome to your great room
here in this duplex penthouse apartment
with 20 foot high ceilings just look at
the volume of this space the light
flooding in you have used to the west
and views to the north i want to first
show you what's in front of you making
our way out
it's winter in new york
this is 200 square foot of outdoor
terrace with views of the entire city
looking downtown you've got the chrysler
building you've got billionaires row in
front of you you have a prime view of
central park you can even see the hudson
river uptown all the upper east side we
will keep these shut these aren't
top-of-the-line shoe coat doors but
again it is winter in new york city just
imagine the summertime all green in
central park but for now it still looks
pretty even though it's you know the
dead of winter but let's bring it back
inside here below our feet we have seven
inch white oak floors these are actually
radiant heated so the entire floors are
heated from beneath above us we have
these beautiful ornate light fixtures we
have that floor-to-ceiling glass which
actually creates a very cool column
effect here in this apartment because
the windows are pretty narrow and you
even have these nice little seating
areas here along all these windows
leading through the entire space here of
this great room
right here we have your dining room
table with seating for eight along this
entire back wall you have this awesome
floral mural i like how it adds a pop of
color to the space and really
complements the white oak super nicely
you actually have white oak floating
staircase i think this is pretty slick
with this glass railing built right in
again your dining room with this modern
light fixture above leading into the
kitchen where you have fantasy white
marble on this island here with the
waterfall edge down to those white oak
floors you have your breakfast bar right
in front with seating for four the
entire suite in here is gagging out as
far as the appliances you have this
beautiful stainless steel deep set sink
right front and center with of course
sink sprayer little node to cache jordan
there you have your refrigerator covered
in this nice lacquer here which is
pushed open it's all automated and
motorized and again to close it a little
light push
and it shuts right like that i like how
they utilize the storage space here and
also this is really kind of cozy you
have this little enclave here with that
marble on the backsplash again with the
countertop you have your six burner gas
cooktop here by gagenau oven microwave
and wine chiller down below here if you
follow me you actually have your pantry
built into this far back wall again this
is all that nice lacquer finishing which
leads back
into the guest bedroom wing of this
penthouse so off to my left here is the
first guest bedroom suite you have your
full-on walk-in closet here which is
really nice i like how it is a proper
walk-in closet in the guest suite now
right in front of me through these
pocket doors you have the first guest
bedroom which is a corner bedroom so you
have your views to the east you can see
the queensboro bridge the east river you
can see queens brooklyn and then
additionally looking north you can
actually see
central park from this guest bedroom
then right above the bed you have this
awesome medusa pendant this means
jellyfish and italian additionally you
have the mirrors kind of mimicking that
here on this far wall so leaving this
first guest bedroom you have your
ensuite bathroom right here with all the
same finishes as the one in the home
office the only difference this one has
this beautiful soaking tub with a view
looking up to central park up third
avenue looking to harlem all the way up
to the hudson valley right in the
soaking tub i love a nice soaking tub
but continuing on with the tour
out of this first wing and i do like how
this is wing you have a pocket door here
so you could close off this whole wing
right out in front this is currently
staged as a home gym boxing room which
is awesome this is i would say it's a
little too small to be a bedroom but you
have views to the south so you have all
that natural sunlight in here again
views of the east river the iconic
queensboro bridge and i also like how
the architecture of this building has
this whole room jutting out so you do
have southern views giving sunlight the
entire day in here but making our way
out of this i guess home gym currently
off to the left you actually have your
in-house elevator so this elevator is
specifically just for this duplex and
then off to my left here you have an
additional full bathroom with a steam
shower again all the same finishes as
that first one in the home office
but we're gonna keep this shut
additionally closet space here making
your way out of the guest quarters on
the first floor
heading back out through the pantry your
kitchen here off to the right just to
get a nice feel to space again your
dining room here
and then your sitting area in the great
room right in front of us with the
balcony we're actually head upstairs now
up these awesome floating
white oak stairs and it's really from
the top of the staircase that you can
truly appreciate the pure size and
volume of these double height ceilings
and right off the staircase this is your
loft moment you have all the closet
space here a nice desk stage in the
corner and you have your views of
central park which feels like it's in
this great room just with that
floor-to-ceiling glass you get those
prime views of the park and you can
really appreciate just the vastness of
this space now being able to purchase an
