Description
Perched atop of one of the Upper West Side's most recognizable prewar buildings — the Chatsworth — Penthouse East at 344 West 72nd Street offers a rare combination of historic architecture, contemporary design, and exceptional outdoor space. Real estate agent Kathy Murray welcomes viewers inside this newly completed six bedroom duplex residence, where more than 6,000 square feet unfold across gracious entertaining rooms, private retreats, and two expansive rooftop terraces overlooking Riverside Park, the Hudson River, and the George Washington Bridge.
The tour begins in a stunning great room filled with natural light, where twelve foot tray ceilings, oversized windows, and sculptural furnishings create a sense of openness without sacrificing warmth. Generous walls provide space for a significant art collection, while the dining area naturally connects the living room and the kitchen, making the entire floor feel designed for conversation. As daylight moves across the marble surfaces, the bridge frames the horizon beyond the windows. After sunset, those same views take on an entirely different character as the skyline begins to glow. The kitchen likewise combines striking materials with professional performance, offering an eight burner range, double dishwashers, a ninety bottle wine refrigerator, and a breakfast nook that opens directly onto one of the terraces. Nearby, a private study with its own bath and terrace access creates a comfortable place to work, read, or simply step outside for a quiet moment.
And upstairs? A second rooftop terrace extends the living space even further, offering room for outdoor dining, a pergola, and multiple seating areas above the Upper West Side. Downstairs, the primary suite occupies its own world with generous proportions, two walk in closets, two windowed bathrooms, and a restrained palette that lets natural light and sweeping views take center stage.
Overall, this luxurious penthouse seamlessly balances dramatic entertaining spaces with a calming atmosphere ideal for relaxation. Which detail stood out most to you as you toured this modern home?
