Situated on the sun-flooded northeast corner of 176 East 71st Street, this exceptional penthouse is one of only three apartments on the floor. Surrounded by a wall of windows, the living, dining and chef's kitchen create a very open and airy great room, unfolding with effortless flow, while the split-bedroom… Read More layout ensures privacy in separate wings. Three beautifully proportioned terraces wrap the home, creating a true extension of the living space. The expansive north-facing terrace captures open city and Park views and is fully equipped with water and electricity-ideal for elegant outdoor dining, landscape design, or sophisticated entertainment. A secondary east-facing terrace offers a more intimate setting, while the private terrace off the primary suite provides a serene retreat. The windowed chef's kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with custom cabinetry, a dining bar, designer appliances, wine chiller, underside lighting, and more. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated with a timeless sensibility. A separate laundry room, central heating and air conditioning, parquet floors, generous custom closet space (including a large walk-in), and extensive wall space to showcase the most extensive art collection, complete this sophisticated residence. Built as a cooperative in 1962, The Townsend House at 176 East 71st Street is a 20-story luxury full-service building. Services include a live-in Resident Manager, and 24-hour door staff and concierge. Amenities include an in-house gym, bike room, storage bins for each apartment, additional laundry facilities, and an on-site parking garage. Dogs permitted on a case-by-case basis. Perfectly situated on the southwest corner of 71st Street and 3rd Avenue, on one of the prettiest tree-lined townhouse blocks in the heart of the Upper Eastside, and close to Central Park, the finest restaurants, shopping, gourmet markets, and cultural institutions, as well as all forms of public transportation, a rare and unique terraced home like this only comes along once.
