This $15 Million Duplex Penthouse Above New York’s Fifth Avenue Has Not One but 4 Terraces

A terrace is a pretty typical feature in a penthouse pad, but it is rare to find a New York City aerie that has multiple outdoor spaces.

Perched atop 936 Fifth Avenue, this newly renovated three-bedroom spread fully embraces its coveted Upper East Side setting. Offering stunning views over Central Park, an abundance of natural light, and a beautifully updated interior, it’s on the market for a speck under $15 million with Lisa Simonsen and Charles McDonald of Brown Harris Stevens. Spanning about 3,800 square feet of interior space, the duplex unit has four separate and landscaped terraces that total more than 2,400 square feet.

A private elevator opens directly onto the 18th floor, where you’re immediately drawn into a marble gallery. Double-height ceilings and a sweeping staircase set the tone for the rest of the residence. Just about every room on both floors enjoys panoramic city and park vistas and direct access to a tranquil terrace enveloped in greenery, creating a serene vibe that’s difficult to find in the heart of Manhattan.

The living room is one of the home’s most striking spaces, with a 10-foot ceiling and a large bay window that frames sweeping westward views over Central Park. Expansive vistas to the north and south ensure the room is saturated with natural light. The adjacent formal dining room impresses with its geometric flooring and intricate boiserie, while a newly added floor-to-ceiling corner window introduces open exposures to the east. An adjoining solarium with windows on three sides and heated floors is the perfect spot for morning coffee.

The galley-style chef’s kitchen stretches to more than 28 feet long with gleaming white Bulthaup cabinetry, a Wolf range, Miele ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A discrete powder room rounds out the public spaces on the main floor.

When it’s time to relax, the primary suite on the lower level is a peaceful retreat with direct access to a park-facing terrace. The en-suite bathroom features heated marble floors, double sinks, and a soaking tub, all luxuriously finished in onyx. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, each with an en-suite bathroom and ample closet space.

Upstairs, a spacious lounge is outfitted with surround sound, making it ideal for cozy nights in watching a movie. The room spills onto the largest of the terraces, which is also accessible from a small bonus room that’s alongside a second powder room.

A five-zone central heat and air, soundproofed windows, and a Crestron home automation system with Lutron lighting are thoughtful modern updates. Add to the building’s white-glove services that include a doorman, an elevator attendant, and a fitness center, 936 Fifth Avenue offers a home that’s the perfect mix of elegance and comfort.
