New York City is filled with jaw-dropping, stylish high-rise residences. It is easily the most densely populated city in America, with near 10 million people crowded together in a congested area. To combat this, you won’t see many large houses in Manhattan. Designers build vertically, creating towering residences with private homes that make for dream accommodations for many of the city’s powerful and wealthy.

There are countless beautiful residences located high above the bustling New York City streets, offering picturesque views and a refuge from the ground-level chaos and noise. In one of the city’s most desirable residential areas, right near Gramercy Park and Union Square, sits the 17-story, 104,000 square foot, mixed-use building, 240 Park Avenue South. With 54 luxury residences, this Flatiron condominium has some dream finds behind its doors.

One of these gorgeous homes has recently been listed for sale, Penthouse 17 at 240 Park Avenue South. This three-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence offers 3,900 square feet of high-rise New York living, with glamorous décor and a spacious, open concept look that makes it feel even bigger than it is.

The residence has numerous high-quality details that make it a dream find for a luxury buyer seeking a perfectly located Manhattan home. With Italian porcelain floors and custom hand-applied plaster walls, the residence is made of top-quality material and is accessed through a keyed elevator with a private entrance for ultimate privacy.

Penthouse 17 offers incredible views through its floor-to-ceiling windows, including a living room overlook of Gramercy Park, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building. The living room has a gas fireplace with a limestone surround and a dining area and a dry bar. The white walls and the dark porcelain floor give it a sleek, modern feel, and the 12-foot ceilings add to the open feel.

Penthouse 17 also stands out for its gorgeous eat-in kitchen, with electrically operated upper cabinets and various high-end appliances, including an espresso maker, stand-alone wine cooler, and a Miele oven. The white countertops and muted colors give it a contemporary but homey look.

The primary bedroom is a stunning living space that soaks in natural lighting through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The en-suite bathroom has a deep soaking tub, separate showers, a double vanity, and a TV in the mirror. There are also two closets, so more than ample room for wardrobes of any size.

With two other perfect bedrooms equipped with blackout shades and stunning city views, Penthouse 17 is ideal for a family of any size. The building also has resort-quality amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a children’s room, and a basketball court. Currently being listed at $18,500,000, this home is an incredible find in an extremely desirable area of the city.

“Penthouse 17 at 240 Park Ave is nestled between three parks and is extraordinary in every way,” says Michael Graves, the listing agent. “It’s built with a level of detail and functionality that is simply unparalleled in Manhattan’s downtown luxury market, it must be seen to believe.”
