Back to School: The Solarium Penthouse

Aug 22, 2019

Built in 1908, the building is a superb example of Beaux-Arts architecture and a distinct monument within the neighborhood.

There is beauty and elegance in simplicity. Custom crafted from the vestiges of St. Agnes Boys High School, this exquisitely designed penthouse shows singular vision, centered around what was once the school’s gymnasium.

Built in 1908, the building is a superb example of Beaux-Arts architecture and a distinct monument within the neighborhood. This landmarked structure, at the corner of West End Avenue and 87th Street, offers the discerning buyer a palette of just thirteen residences. 

This one-of-a-kind residence is truly remarkable.  The great room is just that, boasting dramatic vaulted ceilings, an expansive skylight and floor-to-ceiling arched windows.   The voluminous nature of this loft space is a truly rare find, one that will enrapture any future occupant. A private 491 SF roof terrace seamlessly adjoins the Great Room through oversized glass doors. Gorgeous wood floors usher you from room to room with warmth and refinement. 

Arched windows and deep coved ceilings give the master bedroom a sense of grace, while the marbled six-fixture bathroom manifests rejuvenation and renewal. The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and blends effortlessly into the Great Room, making it equally suited for entertaining or a quiet night in.
