Two private terraces (one a large wrap terrace) and three exposures are featured in this sun-filled, corner penthouse duplex high atop the 'Gold Coast' of Manhattan's Upper East Side with 6.5-rooms featuring open city views from every room. This grand scale Carnegie Hill three-bedroom, three-bathroom home can easily serve as a 4 bedroom and draws in extraordinary natural light from abundant oversized windows, boasts high ceilings and features five corner rooms each with bay windows and two exposures. Southern views reach the length of Madison Avenue all the way to the midtown skyline.

Additional features include a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, laundry, built-in speakers, through wall air conditioning* (lower level) and extraordinary storage throughout with most closets double-deep and extra-tall.
