A Townhouse in the Sky

Townhouse living, reimagined-this three-story, 6,630-square-foot penthouse with a breathtaking private rooftop terrace crowns the top of 78 Irving Place, an ultra-exclusive, landmarked condominium in the Gramercy Park Historic District. Designed by renowned architect Pietro Cicognani, this architectural tour de force offers total privacy, triple exposures, and soaring views over “block beautiful” and Gramercy Park. Each of the three interior floors spans approximately 2,210 square feet, offering a balanced and intuitive layout for both daily life and grand entertaining.

Entertaining Level

Arrive via private keyed elevator to a full-floor, this 23-foot-wide 2210 square foot entertaining level bathed in natural light. A luminous skylight caps the sculptural staircase, creating a dramatic centerpiece upon entry. The corner great room features a bespoke stone fireplace and custom butler’s bar-ideal for refined entertaining. Adjacent, a formal dining room, plush media lounge, and discreet powder room complete the scene. The windowed, eat-in chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a custom Lacanche range, a handcrafted Ann-Morris pot rack, and top-tier appliances by Gaggenau, Miele, and Thermador.

Primary Suite Level

An entire floor is devoted to the grand primary suite: a sunlit corner bedroom with a midnight bar and en-suite auxiliary bath, a private study or sitting room, and a Parisian-style dressing room that opens into a spa sanctuary. The primary bath is clad in pure marble and features radiant heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, a steam shower, a double vanity, and a private water closet.

Secondary Bedroom Level

This floor offers three spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and dressing room. A flexible lounge or library adds versatility, and a large laundry room can be incorporated with ease.

Rooftop Terrace

Above it all is a 955-square-foot private rooftop terrace with panoramic views. Design your outdoor dreamscape: summer kitchen, fireplace, and a custom 8″ x 7’5″ spa-all framed by Gramercy Park’s storied skyline.
