Isang pribadong elevator na may sariling susi ang tuwirang umaakyat mula sa lobby at direktang bumubukas sa apartment. Hindi lamang pagpasok, kundi isang maringal na pagdating. Walang pasilyo, walang pinagsasaluhang landing, walang kapitbahay sa magkabilang panig—buong ikalimang palapag ang inyo, mula hilaga hanggang timog, sa isang boutique na gusaling may anim lamang na tirahan.

Agad na nagpapakilala ang malawak na pangunahing espasyo: ang sala, dining area, at kusina ay magkakadugtong sa isang tuluy-tuloy na lawak, na pinatitibay ng sarili nitong malinaw na dining area. Ito ang uri ng espasyong kayang mag-host nang komportable ng 20 katao at mananatiling intimate kapag kayo lamang. Tampok sa sala ang isang eskultural na dingding na may fireplace, pinahiran ng custom na Atelier Premier marble plaster na mano-manong inilapat sa mga guhit na berde, buhangin, at cream, na kahawig ng cross-section ng lupa, at may gas fireplace sa ibaba. Hindi ito bahagi ng orihinal na plano ng developer. Sariling artistikong dagdag ito ng mga may-ari. Sa kabila ng mga floor-to-ceiling na bintana ng sala, na nagpapapasok ng saganang likas na liwanag mula sa timog, may halos labing-anim na talampakang balkonahe na nakaharap sa timog, may linya ng kuryente, tubería, at ilaw. Bumubukas nang maluwag ang mga pintuang salamin, kaya tila naglalaho ang hangganan ng loob at labas, habang may maaaring iurong na screen upang hindi makapasok ang mga insekto sa maiinit na araw. Sa mas mataas na bahagi, ang pribadong roof terrace na nakatalaga sa apartment ayon sa titulo ay nagsisilbing sarili ninyong puwesto sa ibabaw ng lungsod—perpekto para sa mga pagtitipong may barbecue at pagmamasid sa paglubog ng araw.

Pinagsasama ng bukas na kusina para sa chef ang malawak na imbakan at eleganteng disenyo. Ang marble waterfall island na may upuan ay may Wolf Professional cooktop. Ang mga kabinet na yari sa light grey oak ay umaabot sa buong dingding sa ilalim ng isang floating shelf na nililiwanagan ng maninipis na brass pendant lamp mula sa Apparatus Studio; ang refrigerator at dishwasher ng Miele ay halos naglalaho sa likod ng mga harapang kapareho ng kabinet; at ang vented stainless-steel hood ay direktang humihigop palabas ng gusali sa usok. Nagdagdag ang mga may-ari ng mataas at articulating na gripo mula sa Kohler.

Apat na silid-tulugan at tatlo’t kalahating banyo ang inayos upang magbigay ng pambihirang paghihiwalay at privacy. Ang guest room, na may sarili nitong en-suite na banyo, ay nasa kabilang dulo ng pangunahing espasyo, kaya bumubuo ito ng sarili nitong pribadong pakpak. Ang tatlo pa, kabilang ang pangunahing silid-tulugan, ay nasa hilagang bahagi. Umaabot nang mahigit labingwalong talampakan ang pangunahing silid-tulugan, na ginawang isang marangyang retreat na may Élitis wallcovering, mga eskultural na sconce mula sa J. Adams & Co., at tactile na switchgear mula sa Buster + Punch. Sa likod nito ay isang custom na walk-in closet mula sa Flou, kung saan ang bawat istante, drawer, at rack ay sadyang nilagyan. Kasunod nito ang banyong may marmol, double vanity, soaking tub, at glass shower. Ang powder room sa tabi ng entry ay tila isang kahong hiyas: Phillip Jeffries wood veneer na malalim na berde at navy, pinutol sa mga parisukat na wari’y lumulutang mula sa dingding sa ilalim ng madilim na kisame.

Nasasagot ang bawat praktikal na pangangailangan: mga electric blind na hardwired sa bawat silid, isang upgraded at extra-large na LG WashTower washer at vented dryer, central HVAC, virtual doorman at intercom, at pribadong imbakan na nakalaan sa cellar. Maginhawa ninyong maa-access nang malayuan ang pintuan sa harap at elevator gamit ang isang app sa inyong telepono.

Sa pagitan ng Columbus at Amsterdam, sa isa sa pinakamagagandang bloke ng Upper West Side, ilang minuto lamang mula sa Central Park, Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, at pinakamahuhusay na restaurant at pamilihan ng kapitbahayan, hindi ito basta isa na namang kahon ng bagong gusali na may magandang kusina. Isa itong natatangi at masining na personalisadong tahanang sumasakop sa buong palapag.

A private, keyed elevator rises straight from the lobby and opens directly into the apartment. An arrival, not an entry. No hallway, no shared landing, no neighbor on either side, just the entire fifth floor, extending from north to south in a boutique building of only six residences.

The great room announces itself immediately: living, dining, and kitchen unfold as one uninterrupted expanse anchored by its own defined dining area. This is the kind of space that can comfortably entertain 20 people and still feel intimate when it's just you. Anchoring the living area is a sculptural fireplace wall finished in custom Atelier Premier marble plaster, hand-troweled in bands of green, sand, and cream like a cross-section of the earth, with a gas fireplace glowing beneath. This was not part of the developer's plan. It's the owners' own artistic addition. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling living room windows, which flood the living area with natural southern light, nearly sixteen feet of south-facing balcony is wired, plumbed, and lit. The glass doors open wide, blurring the line between indoors and out, with a retractable screen to keep the bugs away on warm days. Higher up, a private deeded roof terrace is your own perch above the city, perfect for BBQ gatherings and watching sunsets.

The open chef’s kitchen pairs abundant storage with elegant design. A marble waterfall island with seating carries the Wolf Professional cooktop. Light grey oak cabinetry spans the full wall beneath a floating shelf lit by slim brass Apparatus Studio pendants; the Miele refrigerator and dishwasher disappear behind cabinet fronts; a vented stainless hood pulls the smoke straight out of the building. The owners added a tall articulating Kohler faucet.

Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths are arranged to provide exceptional separation and privacy. A guest room with its own en-suite bathroom sits on the far side of the great room, creating a private wing of its own. Three more, including the primary, occupy the north end. Extending more than eighteen feet, the primary bedroom has been elevated into a richly layered retreat with Élitis wallcovering, sculptural J. Adams & Co. sconces, and tactile Buster + Punch switchgear. Behind it, a custom Flou walk-in, every shelf, drawer, and rack fitted, and a marble bath with a double vanity, soaking tub, and glass shower. The powder room off the entry is a jewel box: Phillip Jeffries wood veneer in deep green and navy, cut into cubes that seem to float off the wall beneath a dark ceiling.

Every practical need is answered: hardwired electric blinds in every room, an upgraded extra-large LG WashTower washer and vented dryer, central HVAC, a virtual doorman and intercom, and dedicated private storage in the cellar. You can conveniently access the front door and elevator remotely with an app on your phone.

Between Columbus and Amsterdam on one of the Upper West Side's most gracious blocks, minutes from Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, and the neighborhood's best restaurants and markets, this is not another new-development box with a nice kitchen. It is a singular, artfully personalized full-floor home.
