555 West End Avenue’s Terrace Penthouse
Credit: Hayes Davidson
As the crown jewel of 555 West End Avenue, the landmarked Beaux Arts Catholic School that has been transformed into the Upper West Side's most unique condominium, the Terrace Penthouse is the ultimate residential oasis in New York City. This stunning four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom duplex penthouse spans over 5,000 square feet, with 2,200 square feet of interior space and an incredible 2,800 square feet of private outdoor space across two levels: a sweeping wraparound terrace with river and skyline views, and a full-floor rooftop terrace.
One of only 13 homes in the building, the Terrace Penthouse is accessed via direct elevator entry and provides the feeling of an expansive private home. The penthouse is ideal for the best of both worlds: privacy and entertaining. The interior living areas are spread across two full floors -- the kitchen, living and great rooms on the second level, while the bedroom suites, den and laundry occupy the private lower level -- and the development itself offers residents access to the Upper West Side's world-class dining, elite private schools and famous cultural attractions, but also a peaceful respite on a tree- and brownstone-lined street. It's even moments from the entrance to the Henry Hudson Parkway, making a quick getaway Upstate or to Connecticut for those looking to spend weekends at their second home. Closings are underway and immediate occupancy is available. The Terrace Penthouse is currently on the market for $22.5M.

This apartment is located at 1326 Madison Avenue Apartment 55 on the Upper East Side, is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom masterpiece. Completely renovated by architect Ted Porter, it has a flexible layout that allows owners to transform the dining room into a second bedroom— and it even features a murphy bed. Natural light floods in from south and east exposures, too.
The unit is currently owned by Bogotá-based artist Lorenza Panero, who has clearly made her mark on the space. As detailed in a 2017 feature article in Cottages & Gardens, Panero reconfigured the apartment with an artist’s eye, adding custom cabinets and movable partitions. It’s yet another reason that this apartment is one of a kind.
The co-op is situated in an elegant pre-war building that was originally built in 1900 and is located right on Madison Avenue, in the prestigious Carnegie Hill neighborhood. Also of note: It’s only a block away from Central Park.
The apartment is listed for $1,325,000 by Cecilia Serrano and Hala Lawrence of Warburg Realty.
This turn-key, high floor, three bedrooms plus den, three bathroom home offers a world of updated elegant living.
The classic layout features high ceilings, wide plank oak floors, and oversize windows for glorious light and big city views east and west.

The chef's kitchen is stunning, and boasts a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf six burner professional gas cooktop, Miele series-M single oven, Miele speed oven, Fisher Paykel dishwasher, Cambria stone counter tops and hand polished cabinetry.
The main bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, eastern exposure and an extra-large custom walk-in closet is a true sanctuary.

838 Fifth Avenue #10
Previously occupied by a prominent theatrical producer, Platinum Luxury Auctions will sell this stunning UES condominium (once listed at $27.5 million) that occupies the entire 10th floor of 838 5th Ave at auction, without reserve, on Friday, 2/19.
Occupying a full floor of an exclusive, Fifth Avenue building, this stately residence offers impressive views of Central Park and the city’s skyline beyond. More than 4,500 square feet comprise the elegant property (situated in a coveted condominium building between 64th and 65th streets), with 3 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half baths – and a separate staff apartment located on the first floor of the building. Other unique amenities include a handsome, wood-clad library, eat-in-kitchen, and spacious master bath complete with dressing room and walk-in closet. Most impressive of all, however, are the expansive views: the Great Room’s 45-ft rear wall boasts windows looking out over the trees, through Central Park, and to the iconic skyscrapers on Manhattan’s west side.
