Uncompromising quality and serene vistas of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline abound in this full floor 4,322 square foot penthouse at Robert A.M. Stern’s lauded 520 Park Avenue.

Currently configured as a generous two-bedroom with multiple entertaining rooms, it is easily convertible back to a three-bedroom home with three en-suite baths as indicated in the alternate floor plan.
