11 East 29th Street , 50C

Condo · Midtown South · $1,700,000

Feel like you could almost touch the clouds as you live 50 stories above the bustle of city life. At nearly 1,000 square feet, Residence 50C at the prestigious Sky House Condominiums lays out before you a novel perspective of the New York City skyline. It's impossible not to be drawn to the spectacular 225-degree view of Manhattan, the East River, the Hudson River, and beyond. While the Empire State Building stands tall, front and center, it's only one of many iconic Manhattan landmarks that can be seen while appreciating the vast cityscape.

However, the dramatic views are not the only aspect that will draw your heart to call this your own. Look inwards, where this oversized one-bedroom with one-and-a-half bathrooms, measuring at just under 1,000 sq ft and with pristine, brand-new oak floors, provides a thoughtful layout designed with privacy in mind.

Upon entering the apartment, you'll find the powder room to your right, complete with black and white marble floors, stone countertops, and a handy picture-frame window. The entryway also contains a convenient coat closet and hallway leading to the sweeping panoramic views and the open-concept living space.

This 21'3" x 15'8" Great Room has two magnificent exposures looking towards the North and East, and its generous size allows you to choose a layout that expresses your personal style.

The private bedroom suite is separated from the main living area by a sliding door and hallway that lead to a king-size bedroom complete with full-size bathroom and a truly walk-in closet. The ensuite bathroom comes complete with soaking tub, linen closet—and your own Bosch washer/dryer.

Custom shelving is featured in the walk-in closet that has more than 40 sq ft of space; the sizable corner bedroom has space for all you need and provides another opportunity to take in an expansive northern exposure as well as views far into the west.

With no other apartment above you, no street sounds reaching this far up and only three units per floor, this home is a rarity and has an inherently tranquil environment.

A highlight of this amenity-rich development is its fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows, located on the 6th floor with a courtyard view of the landmarked Church of the Transfiguration next door. The park-inspired playroom and resident storage can also be found on this floor. Additional amenities include a full-time doorman, concierge, cold storage, bike storage, and a live-in resident super.

Sky House is in the NoMad neighborhood with convenient public transportation to all areas of New York City. Even so, one won't need to go far for wonderful restaurants, museums, and shops including a premier Whole Foods right around the corner. Just 3 blocks away, Madison Square Park is over six acres of public green space and home to Jemmy's Dog Run, a children's playground, an open-air museum, a performance venue, an arboretum, the original Shake Shack, and across the street from Eataly. The artworks on the grounds are an exciting blend of temporary exhibits by new artists and classic monuments that testify to Madison Square Park's 150-year history.

A few blocks further, Union Square features its thrice weekly green market and a vibrant established restaurant scene. Other nearby neighborhoods include Gramercy, Chelsea, and the Flatiron district putting this gorgeous "Sky High" apartment on a level far above the rest.
