Newly and significantly reduced, this extraordinary full-floor residence at the iconic Campanile represents a remarkable opportunity to own a grand prewar home with breathtaking river and skyline views at exceptional value. Offering spectacular light, gracious proportions, and panoramic views from every room, this high-floor apartment delivers a combination of space, privacy, and architectural distinction that is increasingly difficult to find.
A private elevator landing opens to an expansive gallery with open eastern views, setting the stage for the home's impressive scale. The gracious south-facing living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, showcases dazzling vistas of the East River, United Nations, and Manhattan skyline, particularly magical when illuminated at night. The flexible layout includes three bedrooms (one currently configured as a library), an oversized formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a separate staff room or home office. Soaring ceilings, beautiful prewar details, a river-facing balcony, and exceptional storage, including two enormous walk-in closets, further distinguish this special residence.
Built in 1927, the Campanile is one of Manhattan's most distinguished and historically significant cooperatives, renowned for its architectural grandeur and illustrious past residents. Ideally situated on a quiet East 52nd Street cul-de-sac directly across from River House, it offers a rare sense of tranquility and discretion in the heart of Manhattan. At its compelling new price, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly grand full-floor residence with extraordinary views in one of the city's most celebrated buildings.
