New York City is settling into spring, with longer days and warmer evenings. As the season unfolds, so too does the desire for elevated living. High above the rhythm of the streets, penthouses across the Upper East Side and Upper West Side are redefining indoor-outdoor living, offering private terraces that welcome the season with open arms.
From morning coffee kissed by sunlight to twilight dinners under the stars, these rare residences bring open skies and fresh air into daily life. As a select few penthouses come on the market, each space is an invitation to slow down, stretch out, and savor the season from above. Let’s explore these coveted residences below.
255 East 77th Street presents Penthouse B, a full-floor, seven-bedroom home that epitomizes stately Upper East Side living. Filled with natural light from oversized windows and soaring 15-foot ceilings, the space is both grand and inviting. The centerpiece, however, is the outdoor loggia: a terrace framed by a trio of stone arches, offering cinematic views of Central Park and the skyline beyond. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with amenities by Yabu Pushelberg, the building merges hospitality-level amenities with the elegance of Manhattan’s golden age.
