176 East 71 Street   Unit PHD

Situated on the sun-flooded northeast corner of 176 Εast 71st Street, this exceptional penthouse is one of only three apartments on the floor. Surrounded by a wall of windows, the living, dining and chef's kitchen create a very open and airy great room, unfolding with effortless flow, while the split-bedroom layout ensures privacy in separate wings.

Three beautifully proportioned terraces wrap the home, creating a true extension of the living space. The expansive north-facing terrace captures open city and Park views and is fully equipped with water and electricity-ideal for elegant outdoor dining, landscape design, or sophisticated entertainment. A secondary east-facing terrace offers a more intimate setting, while the private terrace off the primary suite provides a serene retreat.

The windowed chef's kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with custom cabinetry, a dining bar, designer appliances, wine chiller, underside lighting, and more. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated with a timeless sensibility.

A separate laundry room, central heating and air conditioning, parquet floors, generous custom closet space (including a large walk-in), and extensive wall space to showcase the most extensive art collection, complete this sophisticated residence.
