A stunning Upper East Side penthouse, listed for $2.75 million, connects two apartments via a unique bridge originally built for Finch College. This duplex features three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and luxurious amenities such as a chef’s kitchen and private balconies. The bridge, redesigned with modern elements like a glass ceiling and under-lit glass floor, enhances the living space, offering breathtaking views. The seller highlights the bridge's potential for memorable gatherings, describing the residence as "a true townhouse in the sky" that feels like living in art.
The dramatic duplex, at 52 E. 78th St., most notably boasts this landmarked, turn-of-the-century steel-and-concrete bridge - along with three private balconies and a charming rooftop garden with a white picket fence and a dining area.
It's a true townhouse in the sky. I even negotiated with the building to transform the bridge roof into a stunning garden. Living there felt like inhabiting a work of art.
The modernized bridge now comes with a glass ceiling and an under-lit glass floor, framed by triangular windows with city views; the original rectangular windows are preserved on the opposite side.
Just a handful of city apartments come with their own bridges - and now, one that's part of a $2.75 million Upper East Side penthouse listing is sweetening the local pot.
