When summer days roll by under sizzling heat, it’s easy to start dreaming of stepping through a tall wall of glass into a sparkling pool. This triplex penthouse condo at 240 Park Avenue South is that summer fantasy (complete with a $25,000,000 price tag) come to life. At its apex, a 30-foot-long azure blue pool stretches, seemingly to the horizon (or at least to the building’s edge), surrounded by Manhattan’s glory.

The penthouse itself is a study in dazzling contemporary luxury, starting with a 24-foot-tall wall crafted of marble imported from the Swiss Alps at its entry. Throughout the home, architectural details crafted in steel, stone, leather, wood, and glass are framed by pale oak floors, lit by subtle recessed lighting.

A private keyed elevator brings you to the peerless entryway, which opens into a great room with 24-foot ceilings and outsized picture windows. For a glimpse of things to come, a porthole allows a peek at the pool above. This exquisite entertaining space is enhanced by a gas fireplace and a concealed TV screen.

The open kitchen is anchored by a 17-foot-long marble Island. Fitted cabinetry conceals a full suite of capable Gaggenau appliances. In the center of the space, dine surrounded by city views and open sky.

The south-facing primary suite is framed by 13-foot ceilings, custom millwork and walls of windows. A dressing room is lined with oak closets and leather details. The marble-clad bath offers a soaking tub, double shower stall and double vanity.

From this floor, follow a curving stair of oak and floating glass to the mezzanine, where a bedroom (or heavenly home office) sits beneath a skylight, surrounded by views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings.

The crown jewel of this sky palace lies at the top, where a travertine-paved multi-level rooftop pavilion surrounds a 30-foot infinity glass pool, lined in mosaic Bisazza tile. This private New York City paradise offers separate seating areas, a gas fireplace, a wet bar, wine refrigerators, an indoor/outdoor kitchen, a TV screen, and an outdoor shower, all surrounded by unobstructed city views.
