Building & Unit Features
A captivating and comfortable 1930 penthouse high atop one of Carnegie Hills Art Deco gems, designed by noted American architects Sugarman (a J.E.R. Carpenter alumnus) & Berger. The chic and charming 2,750 square foot, 8 room cooperative apartment boasts any gardeners delight - a 43.5 foot long setback terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and entertainment. This exceptional aerie, available for the first time in 50 years, was custom designed for a daughter the buildings owner and was once home to iconic American actor and comedian Milton Berle.

In the vast 27.5 foot Living Room, a pair of original steel casement French doors bookend a wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful marble mantelpiece. The adjacent corner Library/Third Bedroom and a sunlit corner Solarium/Study with original slate flooring and art glass steel casement windows also overlook the terrace. The Gallery leads to a generous Dining Room, which adjoins the Solarium.
