Townhouse Living Above Manhattan

Property Description

A home of remarkable scale and character, Penthouse C at 333 East 68th Street offers the rare experience of townhouse-style living high above the Upper East Side. Encompassing roughly 5,500 square feet across three expan- sive levels, plus another 1,600 square feet of pri- vate outdoor space, this residence provides six to seven bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths within a distinguished prewar cooperative known for its service and discretion. Set along a quiet, tree-shaded stretch of East 68th Street, the apartment enjoys the charm of a classic residential block while offering every modern comfort. The elevator opens directly into a wel- coming entry hall that flows toward a sweeping corner living room. Detailed wood paneling, a wood-burning fireplace, and broad southern and eastern exposures bring warmth and light to the space. The adjoining dining room is per- fectly proportioned for large gatherings, and the thoughtfully renovated kitchen includes professional-grade Wolf appliances, double ov- ens, two sinks, a substantial island, and abun- dant storage. A cozy den and windowed powder room complete the main floor. The middle lev- el is dedicated to private quarters. The primary suite includes two windowed bathrooms, a fire- place, and a custom dressing area. Two addition- al bedrooms with en-suite baths, a study that may also serve as a fourth bedroom, and flex- ible spaces for reading or recreation complete this wing of the home. The upper floor opens into a spectacular glass-wrapped great room with soaring ceilings and access to a sweeping 1,600-square-foot terrace. Surrounded by open city views, this outdoor space easily accommo- dates lounging, dining, and gardening. Two ad- ditional bedroom suites, a cleverly concealed library hidden behind a bookcase, a staff room with bath, and a windowed laundry and utility area make up the remainder of this level. Both passenger and service elevators reach the pent- house floor for convenience. Throughout the home are fine hardwood floors, custom mill- work, integrated sound, and abundant storage. The lower levels are equipped with through-wall air conditioning, while the top floor offers cen- tral air. Originally constructed in 1928, 333 East 68th Street is a full-service cooperative with 24- hour doormen, a live-in resident manager, and only two homes per landing. Residents enjoy a landscaped garden, fitness room, central laun- dry, bike storage, and two private storage rooms. Up to 65% financing is permitted, pets are wel- come, and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser. This residence represents a rare combination of prewar architecture, scale, and privacy - a home designed for those who value both grandeur and comfort in the heart of the Upper East Side. Please note there is a monthly assessment of $1,287.33 in place through Janu- ary 2027.
