Located in the Turtle Bay section of Midtown Manhattan is a luxurious penthouse duplex at 255 E 49th St., within the prestigious Sterling Plaza building. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence was once the former home of comedian, actress, and author Rosie O’Donnell, who listed the home for $8.3 million with BHS agent, Paul Anand.
Encompassing just under 3,600 sqft, the spacious home has breathtaking views of Manhattan and the East River. Its recent renovations include an upgraded chef’s kitchen, sizable walk-in pantry, and 33-foot-long island, which doubles as a breakfast bar. In addition, the kitchen itself is equipped with impressive amenities from its gorgeous Corian countertops to its Gaggenau refrigerators, one of which is a wine fridge that can accommodate over 70 bottles.
The bedrooms in the penthouse exude luxury as well, each with an en-suite marble-lined bathroom, a private Swedish sauna, and generous walk-in closet space.
The penthouse’s private rooftop terrace is unmatched. Spanning over 1,600 square feet, this space is the perfect place to relax, entertain, and take in the gorgeous views of the city’s skyline. The fine details of the home are equally impressive. There are wide plank oak floors imported from Russia, granite wood-burning fireplace, and the undeniable focal point of the home: a spiral staircase inspired by the one within the Guggenheim museum.
With its prime location and city views, and unquestionable beauty, this penthouse truly has it all.
