21.04.23

Succession has become a must-watch, being talked about around water coolers around the world. The clever plot lines, outlandish characters and diverse drama has viewers hooked and imploring their nearest and dearest to catch up and jump into the lives of the Logan family. Fans of Succession who have been eating up the show's final season have been thrilled to learn that the spectacular penthouse featured in last week’s episode is currently for sale in Manhattan. The penthouse at luxury Upper East Side development 180 East 88th Street, is featured in the dramatic opening scene of the show's most recent episode as Kendall Roy's luxurious penthouse home.

At the highest elevation north of 72nd Street on the UES, the newly released penthouse at 180 E. 88th Street offers one of the most unique opportunities in the history of New York City. From rooms with extraordinarily high ceilings, the home embraces thrilling panoramic views in all directions. This volumetrically impressive duplex residence houses two living room spaces (one with gas fireplace and wet bar), a large dining area, eat-in kitchen, five bedrooms, a den, four full baths, two half baths, and a custom staircase to the 2nd floor and 3rd level roof landing.

The home enjoys a spectacular array of private outdoor leisure and entertaining spaces. Totalling 3500 square feet of outdoor space across 3 levels, the terraces include double and single-height covered “loggia” spaces, as well as a magnificent 2100 square-foot roof terrace that hovers 467 feet over the city, and is divided into two substantial, highly usable areas. Conveniently, a private elevator navigates the 3 floors.

The open-plan living room, dining room and great room with gas fireplace are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and include direct access to set-back terraces framed beneath dramatic archways. A custom-designed Molteni & C Dada kitchen features a centre island with white lacquered cabinetry, Statuario marble counter-tops, as well as a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, including natural brass fixtures by Fantini. Nestled northeast of the kitchen is a den, perfect for a home office, library or an ideal guest bedroom.

A sculptural spiral staircase extends upwards towards the privacy of the upper-floor bedrooms while overlooking southern views of the city and entertainment areas below. The primary suite enjoys a cosy gas fireplace and romantic loggia terrace overlooking Central Park with a generous dressing room including an ensuite five-fixtured bathroom surrounded in glass. The primary bathroom features radiant heat flooring, silver travertine slabs, mosaic tile accented walls and floor, oak cabinetry with under-mount Duravit sinks, honed Bianco Grigio marble countertops, a rain shower, and cove lighting complemented by Fantini fixtures in natural brass.

The secondary bedrooms share direct access to a loggia terrace overlooking the eastern cityscape and monumental bridges, with bathrooms featuring hexagonal Carrara marble mosaic tiles and Fantini fixtures.

At over 2100 square feet, the private roof terrace offers views in all directions and includes a gas fireplace. Inside the landing at this roof level there is an additional powder room for guests.
