The Penthouses
Sitting atop the building are double penthouses, available for $70 million. The primary residence is a triplex with an elevator, 4.5 baths, and four bedrooms. Outside the 6,316-square-foot living area is a terrace with picturesque Manhattan and Central Park views. The skyline view features some of the most iconic buildings in New York City, which further justifies the price tag. The terrace connects to a 3,974-square-foot three-bedroom, three-bathroom guest house duplex, which offers the same high-end amenities and views expected from the famous Plaza Hotel.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offer extensive natural light and the angled ceilings provide a charming aesthetic. The crown molding surrounding the bed in the primary bedroom exudes luxury and elegance while complementing the marble fireplace. Given the price tag, only premium materials, such as hardwood and marble, are used to deliver the highest luxury level across the entire property. The primary suite boasts spa baths and double dressing rooms, while the second suite has a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by white marble, a five-fixture marble bath, and an elegant sitting room to ensure the highest level of relaxation. Woodgrain cabinets perfectly accent the white marble throughout the kitchens and bathrooms.
The primary residence also has countless entertaining rooms, like the formal living room anchored by a marble bar, media room with glass fireplace, formal dining room, and eat-in, sky-lit kitchen. The second residence is accessed by a magnificent double foyer which leads to a great room, curved staircase connecting each level, spacious and well-equipped kitchen, and a loggia with sliding doors that open to the terrace. Both homes have access to The Plaza’s world-class amenities, such as the fitness center, Guerlain Spa, Champagne Bar, and Palm Court, all accessible through the famous Plaza lobby with crystal chandeliers and marble walls.
The penthouse listing is offered by Sara Marrache, Mara Flash Blum, and Nikki Field of Sotheby’s International Realty.
