Gilded age penthouse meets tomorrow

atop one of new york city's most architecturally significant buildings, penthouse c at alwyn court offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history-reimagined for contemporary luxury living.  

built between 1907 and 1909, alwyn court is a celebrated french renaissance terra-cotta masterpiece-one of manhattan's most ornate and historically rich landmarked buildings.  Its iconic fa ade and soaring 12-story atrium featuring trompe-l'oeil murals by richard haas are architectural treasures.  Together, these continue to captivate artists, performers, and design lovers over a century later.  

penthouse c is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse (with a flexible third bedroom/home office) that is surrounded by a private terrace (spanning approximately 600 square feet), showcasing breathtaking views of central park and the city skyline.  The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living creates a true sanctuary in the sky.  

inside, the expansive living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by classic architectural columns and oversized windows that flood the home with light.  A formal dining room is situated perfectly between the living room and kitchen.  The kitchen features a dramatic skylight, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.  

the primary suite offers peaceful views, ample closet space, and a serene en-suite bath.  

additional highlights include two-zone central air conditioning, generous storage, and graceful proportions throughout.  

this full-service co-op has a live-in resident manager, full-time doorman, private storage that comes with the apartment, laundry room, and bicycle storage.  The building allows pets, pied-a-terre, 65% financing, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the seller.  

penthouse c is truly the crown jewel of alwyn court, offering an unmatched blend of historical grandeur, privacy, and open-air living at the city's cultural crossroads-just moments from central park, carnegie hall, lincoln center, broadway, and manhattan's finest dining and shopping.
