If good views and great light top your list of priorities (and is there anyone out there who doesn’t value those qualities?), then this high-floor unit in the Sky House is the one for you, boasting nine large windows and exposures looking out onto Fifth Avenue’s architectural icons. The floor plan is elegant and practical, with winged bedrooms that provide privacy, and ample living and dining space. And while good design is never an accident, sometimes a little bit of luck does come into play in real estate. The Sky House’s location on East 29th Street, neither Midtown nor Downtown, was seen as a drawback by some when the building first went up, but the neighborhood has been surging the last few years. Dubbed NoMad, a wave of new boutique hotels, restaurants and shops have turned the area into one of Manhattan’s most exciting (and investment-worthy) neighborhoods. But we digress. Let’s get back to those lovely views.
