450 E 52nd Street # 10/11TH

Welcome to the glamorous and storied icon that is The Campanile. With only 16 residences, it is truly one of the most private and exclusive enclaves in NYC. Some of the world's most illustrious and talented have called this white glove co-op home including Greta Garbo, Rex Harrison, and the Heinz and Rothschild families. Situated on a rare cul-de-sac overlooking the East River, Apartment 10/11 is a one-of-a-kind duplex boasting breathtaking unobstructed views of the water, city skyline, and Roosevelt Island. Every room features impressive views. Illuminated by northern, eastern, and southern exposures and wrapped in panoramic views, living here feels like living above the water itself. The approximately 5100 sq ft home enjoys direct access via elevator to ensure maximum privacy. From the private landing and past the foyer's sweeping curved staircase is a spectacular great room with stunning 18-ft. ceilings, elegant fireplace and moldings, and generous windows that frame the eastern and southern views like pieces of art. Catch the sun rising over the skyline and water from the private balcony and enjoy peaceful evenings admiring the city lights. Double doors adjoin the great room, library, and dining room to facilitate grand or intimate entertaining. A wet bar and hidden mini refrigerator in the library will help you be the consummate host or offer convenient refreshment in a home office. It's a flexible space where you can focus on relaxation, productivity, or sparkling conversation! The kitchen is perfect for the home or professional chef with polished stone counter tops, double ovens and dishwashers, and a large walk-in pantry with 2nd refrigerator. A spacious den next to the kitchen features fantastic northern and eastern views. Near the kitchen is a bedroom and en suite bathroom that is ideal for in-home staff, guests, those who prefer a 1st floor bedroom, or as an ultra private study. A powder room completes the 1st level. The 2nd level hosts four gracious bedrooms including a large primary suite which connects to two walk-in dressing rooms. The 1st private dressing area encompasses a generous walk-in closet, storage, and full bath. The 2nd dressing room provides access to a 2nd full bath with a soaking tub and connects to a 2nd bedroom which can also be used as a connected study or sitting room for the primary suite. The 3rd and 4th bedrooms connect via a Jack & Jill bathroom, and the 3rd bedroom has enviable northern and eastern views. Wine storage and a laundry room complete the 2nd level. The Campanile is an historic East Side pre-war building with an instantly recognizable Venetian-Gothic facade. Its rich history has seen it host a yacht club, fashion venue, and speakeasy, and its long list of illustrious guests and residents like Ethyl Barrymore and Mary Martin, has made it a coveted and standout location to reside. A full service boutique cooperative, it includes a full-time doorman, elevator operator, live-in super, and storage for every home. Located in a prime midtown location on the river, it's just steps from the United Nations Headquarters, city parks and a dog park, and right next to the newly opened East River Esplanade. Enjoy proximity to Grand Central Station, the 51st Street station, favorites such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, as well as abundant restaurants, boutique shopping, and conveniences. Pets are allowed with board approval.
