This Upper East Side Penthouse Has It All—Even a Private Basketball Court

For $13.995 million, you can own an Upper East Side penthouse — and shoot hoops in your own private sky arena. It’s an amenity almost unheard of in Manhattan homes, and just one of three sprawling outdoor spaces that make this residence truly exceptional. In a city where private outdoor square footage is a rare luxury, this home offers over 3,000 square feet of open-air living — from the rooftop retreat to a second-level terrace with a fully outfitted outdoor kitchen, to smaller balconies that extend the indoor experience beyond the walls. 

Listed by Coldwell Banker Warburg’s Lisa Chajet, Maria Daou, and Michael Ruff, the triple-duplex on East 84th pairs its standout outdoor spaces with over 6,000 square feet of interior luxury across three full floors. Five bedrooms and six bathrooms bring it to townhouse-like scale.

The main level is defined by grand proportions and a refined sense of flow, with a formal living room, dining room, and home office (easily convertible into a sixth bedroom), as well as multiple bathrooms and laundry rooms.

The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat, complete with oversized windows and sophisticated finishes.

One level up, an additional bedroom and den lead to an expansive private terrace — a true outdoor oasis ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Crowning the home is the private rooftop — rivaling many suburban backyards in size — and offering that previously mentioned rooftop court with skyline views. 

The penthouse offers both the convenience and discretion of a boutique full-service condominium building, combined with a coveted Upper East Side location — just blocks from Central Park, world-class dining, high-end boutiques, and the city's famed cultural institutions.

If you’ve ever heard the term “vertical estate” and wondered what it meant, look no further — this is it.
