A Crown Jewel in the NYC Skyline: PHD at Stella Tower
Perched at the pinnacle of one of New York City’s most iconic Art Deco condominiums, Penthouse D at Stella Tower is the very definition of grandeur. Offering approximately 3,455+/- square feet of impeccably designed interior space and over 1,070+/- square feet of private outdoor terraces, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence has been masterfully reimagined into a one-of-a-kind ultra-luxury home.
The heart of the residence is a newly renovated, chef-caliber kitchen by NY Loft, outfitted with top-tier appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf double oven range, Bosch dishwasher, and a suite of Miele essentials—induction cooktop, wine fridge, microwave, and more. The largest terrace features an Everdure 4K Electric Grill by Heston Blumenthal, creating the ultimate setup for al fresco entertaining.
No detail has been overlooked. The home features custom built-in cabinetry, exquisite marble and stonework, a showstopping fireplace, and three private terraces offering unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River. Hand-laid oak floors, 8-foot solid oak doors, oversized tilt-and-turn windows, a Miele washer/dryer, Nest Learning Thermostat, and Buro Happold lighting design further enhance the modern sophistication throughout.
The expansive primary suite is accessed via a gallery-style hallway—perfect for showcasing art—and boasts two generous walk-in closets, sweeping western exposures, and a spa-like en-suite bath with double vanities, chevron-patterned Black Zeus marble, radiant heated floors, steam shower, and soaking tub.
Two additional bedrooms each include ample closet space and en-suite baths adorned with custom walnut vanities, floating walnut shelving, blackened steel-framed mirrors, and elegant marble mosaic flooring. A stylish powder room complements the home with a sugar white marble countertop, metal vanity, and polished limestone herringbone mosaic floor.
Originally configured as a 4-bedroom layout, the space offers flexibility to revert to its prior design with ease. STAR abated taxes are approximately $934.22/month.
Stella Tower, a landmark originally designed in 1927 by renowned architect Ralph Walker, was once home to the New York Telephone Company. Restored and reimagined as a premier white-glove condominium, the building retains its handcrafted brick masonry, dramatic setbacks, and ornate detailing. Amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby, state-of-the-art fitness center, residents’ lounge with pantry and bar, landscaped garden, and bike storage.
