Want a bit of room to breathe in the city? Then this Upper Manhattan mega-mansion, boasting not only an all-too-rare garden but also a private rooftop terrace, has got it all going on. Standing proud along a smart tree-lined street in the Washington Heights neighbourhood, its brownstone exterior makes quite the first impression. And just look at it inside. Original Victorian trimmings licked in black paint show off the handsome period proportions beautifully, while high-end designer furniture and marble-clad finishes bring all the style. Spread out over four floors, there’s heaps of space to all spill out in the ultra-chic bedrooms – all flooded with natural daylight thanks to the triple aspect windows. We’ll let you decide who lucks out on that decadent suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ginormous en-suite. As dusk falls over Manhattan and the lights of the skyscrapers flicker on, gather your ensemble for drinks on the rooftop terrace – the city views are magnificent. Then take things inside for a glamorous dinner party on the grand parlor level – the made-for-action kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm or let a private chef work their magic. Beyond this luxurious home, you’ll find a more... relaxed slice of the Big Apple pie in this vibrant residential district, boasting two vast parks at its heart. But you’re never far from the hustle and bustle. Hop on the subway at the end of the block (two minutes on foot) and you'll be at the city’s blockbuster sights in twenty minutes flat. Just think of the places you'll go.
