What’s Up? This Designer Penthouse for $8 Mil!

CURIOUS ABOUT THE true view from the top? A picture-perfect, designer-appointed penthouse in Uptown has hit the market for $8 million.


The six-bedroom, six-bathroom, full-floor unit of The Astoria comes in at 9,500 square feet — every last one of which has been exquisitely decorated by Laura U Design Collective. High-end finishes a la Eggersman cabinetry, Miele applicances and Calacutta floors abound in this penthouse, which is made for entertaining.

There's a 600-bottle wine room, movie-theater room, game room — and even a room dedicated to a 3-D golf simulator, complete with Astroturf. The primary bedroom boasts a two-sided modern fireplace, coffee bar and balcony. The en-suite includes a soaking tub and mirrored television, along with a ginormous closet.

Another spa-worthy place inside this penthouse is the cedar sauna — with a Himalayan salt wall! — and steam room with built-in aromatherapy and speakers.

Outside, a private pool and turfed deck offers nearly 360-degree skyline views.

The condo is listed by Nancy Almodovar with Nan and Company Properties Christie's International Real Estate.
