Reminiscent of acountryside...A Sky High Sanctuary in the Heart of the Upper West Side Presenting a truly unparalleled offering: a crown jewel penthouse atop the Opera building, this one-of-a-kind residence is a private rooftop villa soaring high above Broadway. Encircled by expansive wraparound terraces and commanding unobstructed 360-degree views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and the Manhattan skyline, this architectural masterpiece blends rustic European charm with the grandeur of New York living. Reminiscent of acountryside estate in the sky, the penthouse is distinguished by its striking red tile roof, dramatic sloped architecture, and full-floor layout. Every inch of the home has been designed to maximize light, space, and the jaw-dropping views visible from every window and terrace. Step inside to soaring 16-foot vaulted ceilings in white-washed cedar, where natural light pours in through skylights and triple exposures. The voluminous great room-anchored by a stone-clad wood-burning fireplace-flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen and open dining area, creating an exquisite setting for entertaining against the backdrop of the city's most iconic sights. A glass-enclosed solarium offers a year-round indoor/outdoor experience, imagine elegant dinners, cocktail evenings, or tranquil mornings with the sunrise. Multiple terraces offer front-row seats to sweeping river sunsets and Manhattan's glittering skyline. The home offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms thoughtfully situated to create distinct living and sleeping wings. The east wing is anchored by a serene primary suite featuring Central Park views, terrace access, a wood-burning fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with both soaking tub and rainfall shower-each with sweeping vistas of the Hudson. An airy skylit office just above creates a peaceful, private workspace. The west wing includes an exquisite loft-like bedroom suite with double-height windows, a fully renovated en-suite bath with radiant heated floors, and a private mezzanine loft-ideal for a studio, library, or meditation space. Additional highlights include wide-plank hardwood floors, multi-zone climate control, custom built-ins, abundant storage, skylights throughout, and a full laundry room. Thirteen steps up from the 24th floor leads you into this extraordinary home. Originally constructed as a neo-Gothic church and later transformed into the Manhattan Towers Hotel in the 1930s, The Opera was reimagined into a co-op in 1980, preserving its rich architectural legacy. This full-service building offers 24-hour doorman/concierge, a live-in resident manager, bike storage, and a prime location amidst the elegance and vibrancy of the Upper West Side. World-class cultural institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, premier dining and shopping destinations including Zabar's, Citarella, and Fairway, and proximity to both Riverside and Central Park, all combine to create an unmatched lifestyle. Convenient access to transportation completes this rare offering. This is more than a residence-it is a legacy property. Showings by private appointment only.
