The stunning floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, George Washington Bridge, East River and beyond. And it's on the market for $33 million. I'm happy to introduce to you the CEO of Azure and DDG Properties, Joe McMillan. Thank you, Lorena. Let's take a tour. Welcome to 180 East 88th Street. We're in the pinnacle, the crown jewel of the tower. Here in the living room, the primary entrance, you come out of the elevator, private landing, you have 14 two-foot tall ceilings, you have exposures to the south, you have exposures to the west towards the park. We're standing in the second living room. You may have noticed there's a very open floor plan within the unit but we tried to create very discreet spaces so it doesn't feel like one cavernous area. You have these huge expansive ceilings but they're very discreet seating areas broken up with a custom staircase, custom fireplace to really give you a sense of place as you're sitting within different locations of the unit. Let's go check out the dining room. The centerpiece of the dining room is really the view. You have all of the midtown skyline, billionaire's row out your window through these beautiful framed arches that accentuate the rest of the architecture in the building. You look at these arches that are inspired by turn of the century architecture a hundred years ago, what you saw in the 20s and 30s. Here in New York, we incorporated that. We tried to bring a little bit of downtown uptown. We are standing what has to be one of the largest eat-in kitchens in all of New York City. Its kitchen was custom designed by us in conjunction with Molteni of Italy, custom cabinets throughout. We also have imported statuario marble from Italy, imported Fantini custom fixtures from Italy, a custom vented hood that was made here in New York City by hand. We have a German appliance package completely integrated by Gaggenau. Nothing was spared in this kitchen. We created it for those who want to eat, those who want to entertain. You can sit, you can sip your coffee, look out the midtown skyline with the East River behind. What more could you ask for? Now let's go upstairs and see the second floor. We're standing in the primary suite, very uniquely situated in the unit to face Central Park and the West. Again, a custom sculptural organic fireplace. You have a nice seating area. You have a private outdoor terrace with curved glass, exclusive to the primary. We're now standing in the primary bath, unlike any other in New York City. Three exposures, full glass. To the North, you have the George Washington Bridge and Yankee Stadium. To the West, you have the Hudson River Central Park. And to the South, you have the entire midtown skyline. Truly a luxury spa in your own home. Many of the same features that we talked about throughout the rest of the building are here as well. We have the custom imported Fantini brass fixtures, a thread throughout the building. We have silver travertine. We have custom designed dual vanities. We have wet style high gloss tub, excellent for soaking as you sit and look out at the park. Anything you could want, we've included here today. And from the primary bath spa, you can really appreciate and get up close to the details and design of the building, including the arches. The arches serve dual purposes. They're architectural as well as structural to the building. And they also create a sense of security and comfort when you're within the arch or under the arch. The arches allow for setback outdoor space. So if it's raining, if there's snow, inclement weather, you can still be outdoors and enjoy the outdoors without being in the elements. We're now in the secondary bedroom wing. This particular bedroom is en suite bath set up with two twins. We have unobstructed views to the South through an arched window. We have views to the East, to the East River. And we also have a covered loggia that connects this bedroom with the two adjoining bedrooms next door in a private outdoor area. It's unlike anything you'll see anywhere else. The rooftop terrace is 2100 square feet of outdoor living space. Currently configured for a multitude of uses. We have a 14 person dining table. We have a private outdoor living room. We have a private outdoor sunroom. You have a fireplace. Unobstructed 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. The bricks we utilized in this building are very unique. They're handmade in Denmark by a family who got their commission from the King of Denmark to make bricks. Each individual brick is forged and pushed out from the mold by hand. You can see thumbprints in each of the bricks. There are 600,000 that were used here on site. These bricks were laid exactly the way bricks were laid hundreds of years ago in New York City. They're not a panelized system. They're not craned in. They're done by hand. Thank you for joining us today. This building offers not only the architectural design that you won't find anywhere else in New York City, but the views and the space. It is a very unique offering here at 180 East 88th Street. On the market for $33 million.
