55 Park Terrace East Upper Manhattan Apartment For Sale

Renovated Three Bedroom Duplex Penthouse w/ Private Terrace

Rarely does an apartment like this come to market. Welcome to this beautifully renovated three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath penthouse duplex with a huge private terrace in the highly sought-after Park Terrace Gardens cooperative in Inwood. With sweeping views and classic Art Deco character, this is a truly special home—without ever leaving Manhattan.

The front door opens into a generous and versatile entry foyer, large enough to accommodate a dining area or home office. From there, step down into the spacious sunken living room, a signature Art Deco feature. A large bank of north-facing windows overlooks the peaceful garden courtyard, filling the space with light. Throughout the apartment you’ll find beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, along with original details including wrought-iron railings and recessed shelving.

The newly renovated kitchen is both stylish and functional. An east-facing window brings in wonderful morning light, making the space bright and welcoming. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a Whirlpool dishwasher and microwave, Frigidaire range, and GE French-door refrigerator with bottom freezer. Additional highlights include engineered marble countertops, a deep Ruvati sink, and abundant cabinet storage. Much of the apartment’s electrical system, kitchen included, has been completely rewired and features a new circuit breaker box.

Also on the main level is the large and cheerful primary bedroom, featuring north and east exposures, generous closet space, and a ceiling fan. A second bedroom, also on the first floor, faces east and enjoys excellent natural light.

Between the bedrooms is a spacious dressing area with additional closet space, leading to a fully renovated windowed bathroom. The bathroom features striking black-and-white tile-work on both floors and walls, a rainfall shower head, and a classic pedestal sink.

Upstairs you’ll find the apartment’s distinctive third bedroom—known as the “Pilot House.” This charming and private space includes its own half bath and works beautifully as a bedroom, home office, or guest retreat.

From here, step outside onto the large L-shaped private terrace, where the views stretch for miles. The terrace is perfect for entertaining, outdoor dining, or quiet mornings tending to a garden. The parapet brickwork and exterior walls of the Pilot House were recently rebuilt, leaving the terrace in exceptional condition. Charcoal barbecues are permitted, making this a wonderful space for gatherings.
