This exceptionally rare white-glove, pre-war condominium provides all the amenities of a 5-Star hotel and yet the privacy of your own home. Services include daily housekeeping Monday through Friday, with laundry and ironing if desired, weekly fresh flowers provided and installed by a renowned local florist, satellite TV, WiFi, and a gardener to maintain the outdoor spaces and landscaping. The Penthouse has its own AC and water systems, and the building also has an emergency generator. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side and convenient to everything iconic about New York City, this neighborhood is unmatched with its access to luxury shopping along Madison Avenue, world-class art galleries and museums, and award-winning restaurants and caf s. Take in some live music at Caf Carlyle's cabaret, a cocktail at Bemelman's Bar, or a daily visit across the street in your own Central Park backyard.
