Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own a private Manhattan penthouse high above the East River at prestigious 100 United Nations Plaza. Perched on the 52nd floor, Penthouse 52A offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, exceptional privacy, and breathtaking 360-degree views of New York City's most celebrated landmarks. Crowning a collection of just 22 penthouses, this remarkable one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom residence features nearly 500 square feet of private terraces, creating an unparalleled indoor-outdoor living experience in the heart of Manhattan. Designed by acclaimed architectural firm SLCE, the residence is distinguished by dramatic ceiling heights, striking sloped glass walls, and an abundance of natural light. Expansive terraces showcase sweeping views in every direction, from the East River to the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, and the glittering Manhattan skyline. Whether enjoying a quiet morning above the city or entertaining against the backdrop of New York's illuminated skyline, the setting is truly exceptional. The sophisticated interior is thoughtfully designed for both comfortable living and elegant entertaining. A spacious, light-filled living room flows into a windowed corner dining area, complemented by a separate entertainment alcove and wet bar. The open kitchen features an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, solid wood cabinetry, and breakfast bar. A beautifully appointed guest powder room adds convenience, while a private elevator connection from the 50th floor, exclusively serving this residence, provides an exceptional sense of arrival and privacy. Privately situated away from the entertaining spaces, the generously proportioned primary suite offers its own terrace and spectacular open views. The flexible layout provides room for an expanded walk-in wardrobe, dedicated dressing area, or intimate sitting lounge. The en-suite bathroom creates a luxurious personal retreat with a Jacuzzi soaking tub, custom shower with body sprays, and atmospheric lighting. Integrated lighting and built-in sound systems throughout the residence further enhance its sophisticated ambiance. Located in Manhattan's distinguished Turtle Bay neighborhood, within the internationally recognized United Nations Plaza enclave, this full-service building offers 24-hour concierge service, a fitness center, garage parking, and a beautifully landscaped private garden plaza designed by renowned landscape architect Thomas Balsley. Grand Central Terminal, world-class dining, luxury shopping, cultural destinations, and major business districts are all conveniently accessible, with excellent connections to New York's international airports. Perfectly suited as an elegant primary residence, sophisticated pied-à-terre, or exclusive New York retreat for the international homeowner, Penthouse 52A presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the prestige of a Manhattan address with the privacy and serenity of a residence above the city. With its extraordinary panoramic views, expansive outdoor space, and distinctive architectural character, this is a truly exceptional offering in one of New York City's most iconic residential settings.
