60 East 88th Street Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

60 East 88th Street, PH-AB:
Penthouse Elevation, Private Home Grace
Rising above Carnegie Hill, the heart Upper East Side, Penthouse AB is a spectacular, five-bedroom, 5-bath duplex that meaningfully advances condominium living. This full-floor retreat, one of three lavishly renovated sponsor listings, pairs the privacy and outdoor space of a private home, with the light, security, and effortless maintenance of a white-glove condominium.
Four Pillars

• Elevation
  Experience the serenity of soaring heights and four exposures, with North and South as the two primary. Setbacks at this height optimize light and effectively neutralize noise, even as the Penthouse stretches across the building\'s full width.
• Balance and Symmetry
  Two beautiful master bedrooms, each on the upper floor of a private wing, enjoy walk-in closets that comfortably double as upscale dressing rooms. They are at opposite sides of the plan, and each of those wings also features a substantial second bedroom with en suite bath. A formal dining room, grand living room, and cozy den stretch gracefully across the home\'s northern half, illuminated softly by the gentle glow of northern light.
• The Great Outdoors
  A portfolio of five discrete, marble-clad outdoor spaces, each with stately brick parapets, was thoughtfully devised and incorporated. The floor plan hints at that of a townhouse but with better indoor-outdoor integration. Designed to draw people outside regardless of the hour, the primary terrace faces south and measures 56 x 15 feet. Sunrise meditation, morning coffee, dinner on a summer evening, or winding down at night are just a few of the possibilities. Both master bedrooms have two private terraces, one facing south and one to the north, offering stimulating spaces to work from home or devour a book over the weekend, no matter the sun\'s angle.
• Effortless Ownership
  A private experience without the burden. Arrival is marked by the building\'s semi-circular cobblestone drive, activating decompression that begins even before stepping into the lobby. Distance between entrance and elevators is favorable, not winding or unnecessarily long. The building is staffed full-time. Issues such as sidewalk maintenance, trash and snow removal, are just a few tasks handled seamlessly within a fully-staffed building.

The Finishes
The interior is a masterclass in execution, to its new development peers. A modest gallery reveals the oak floors. A gorgeous eat-in kitchen is outfitted with imported hardware and fittings and light streams through its sizable window. Tucked neatly by the library/media room, a timeless wet bar obviates the trip back to the kitchen for drinks. The fifth bedroom has been outfitted as a professional-grade home fitness studio, though its proportions allow for seamless conversion into high-end staff accommodations or a quiet home office.

60 East 88th Street is currently undergoing transformative capital improvements. Future owners will enjoy two brand-new, high-speed elevators, a stunningly redesigned lobby, and fully renovated private floor landings. This building overhaul, together with a fully finished product delivered at closing, as well as outdoor space thoughtfully configured for exceptional utility and enjoyment, marks an extraordinary purchasing opportunity in one of Manhattan\'s most sought after and prominent locations. Note further that comprehensive renovations of full floor units on the two floors immediately below this penthouse (14th FL and 12th FL; there is NO 13th FL) have already concluded and are also available for purchase.
