If you’re thinking a townhouse is too small, this dazzling duplex high above Manhattan’s east side at 500 Park Avenue, asking $15 million, might do. With over 9,000 square feet of living space, it’s easy to get lost among the rooms that span two floors of this Midtown condo with four exposures, panoramic views, and a massive terrace. Currently owned by architect Wendy Evans Joseph, who has designed projects for noted museums and cultural institutions, including the new Canarsie Library, NYC’s first public mass timber building, the home’s interiors reflect a level of design sophistication not found in the average Manhattan penthouse.
The home’s main level covers living and entertaining. Four exposures mean sweeping vistas of neighboring Central Park, the city skyline, and beyond in every room. Corner lounging and dining spaces get northern and western views. A cozy library and study open onto a sprawling landscaped terrace for seamless access to outdoor living.
A beautifully designed modern kitchen features a Le Cornue range. Adjacent breakfast and media rooms add endless flexibility. The kitchen is served by a stainless-steel-clad butler’s pantry.
Upstairs, the entire 40th floor holds the home’s private bedroom suites. The primary suite gets a separate wing outfitted with two dressing rooms.
A collection of corner bedrooms gets views, fireplaces, sitting rooms, and workspaces. Luxurious baths reflect the home’s dedication to relaxation and renewal.
500 Park Tower has been home to notable names from Joan Crawford to Naomi Campbell. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a live-in resident manager, a roof deck, and private storage.
