\u201cThere is an ongoing discussion on our team about which is the better view,\u201d said Benjamin Pofcher, an associate broker and real estate adviser with Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cIs it the park view on one side, where it\u2019s just so angular and gorgeous and you\u2019re right in the middle of it, or the city view, where you have the whole island and both rivers?\u201d<\/p>\n

Pofcher said he preferred the city view side, but that Central Park view is just \u2026 chef\u2019s kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Penthouse 76 is one of only three units left to sell at 111 West 57th Street, where residents get entire floors to themselves and a vast array of amenities. Sotheby\u2019s became the exclusive sales brokerage for the Billionaires\u2019 Row condominium last year, after both Corcoran and Douglas Elliman previously had a go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
111 West 57th Street combines the historic \u2014 and landmarked \u2014 former headquarters of the famed Steinway piano company with a new tower. The landmarked segment features 13 residential units, while the tower has 46 units. Since taking over sales last year, Sotheby\u2019s has completed approximately $413 million in deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Penthouse 76 is a 6,512-square-foot duplex residence available for $49 million, according to the condo\u2019s website<\/a>. The unit officially hit the market in October, and has been staged with furnishings and decor from the luxury brand Eichholtz as part of that brand\u2019s collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Designed by Studio Sofield<\/a>, Penthouse 76 is the last remaining duplex in the tower. Its features include a direct elevator entry gallery, a great room with floor-to-ceiling windows, several bedrooms and a south-facing kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and Cristallo white quartzite countertops, as well as a media room, an interior elevator and a private outdoor terrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n The unit pays homage to the building\u2019s past as the Steinway HQ and showroom with small details that include door handles shaped like piano keys and piano-style finishes on the doors, while the tower\u2019s main lobby features the original showroom\u2019s end grain wood floors.<\/p>\n The primary bathroom for Penthouse 76 overlooks Central Park and features a custom, freestanding polished nickel bathtub, heated floors, a white onyx double vanity, a white onyx shower and custom bronze sconces.\u00a0<\/p>\n The amenities at 111 West 57th Street leave little to be desired and include a heated 82-foot pool, a private bar inspired by London\u2019s famed Connaught Bar, outdoor seating, a fitness center, spa suites and an indoor court for padel (think squash meets pickleball).\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c111 West 57th is a skyscraper designed for the future while being historically rooted in New York City in the timelessness of its refined detail and robust form,\u201d Dana Getman, principal at SHoP Architects<\/a>, said in a statement regarding the project. \u201cIts design is completely unique on the skyline, yet immediately recognizable as a part of\u00a0 the city.<\/p>\n Amanda Schiavo can be reached at aschiavo@commercialobserver.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t
