一個位於薩頓廣場與中城交匯處的稀有頂層公寓，Penthouse-U 是少數擁有私人園景露台的住宅之一。這個空間由藝術家及室內設計師布萊恩·萊頓設計，引領PHU轉變為一個拎包入住的家。

這間一房公寓是一個角落住宅，位於全方位服務的合資公寓大樓 The Sterling 的頂樓。PHU擁有寬敞翻新的客廳、開放式廚房和時尚的臥室，四周環繞著私人戶外空間。

從進入這個家開始，轉變就清晰可見——所有的客廳、臥室、衣櫃、廚房和走廊的地板都被更換並更新為寬板硬木地板。客廳的踢腳板經過重新修飾，以與硬木地板相匹配，創造出更好的自然材質美學流動感。進入走廊的衣櫃行也不可錯過，由 Creative Closets 設計，給人耳目一新的感覺。

窗戶廚房也經過翻新，開放式設計使整個家更加明亮。包括 Prima Bianco 櫥櫃、便士地磚、新的白色瀑布式檯面和幾何陶瓷背墻瓷磚等元素均由專業安裝。所有的電器也在翻新期間全新安裝，包括不銹鋼的 Fisher and Paykel 冰箱、洗碗機，以及 Whirlpool 微波爐和燃氣烤箱/爐具。

客廳外有滑動門通向面向西南的私人露台，非常適合園藝。這個空間環繞著客廳和臥室兩側，創造出隱私感。事實上，整個公寓面向西南，整天都有充足的自然光照射。

當你進入臥室時，你會注意到一個獨特的特徵。一個內嵌背光的架子，可以框架一張特大號床，創造完美的情緒照明，同時也提供額外的儲物空間。臥室的衣櫃也擴大為步入式，並由 Creative Closets 設計。

客廳和臥室的窗簾均為 Hunter Douglas 和 Shade Store 品牌，為此空間量身定制。

A rare penthouse in the crossroads of Sutton Place and Midtown, Penthouse-U is one of the few homes with a private landscaped terrace. This space was designed by fine artist and interior designer, Brian Leighton; transforming PHU into a move-in ready home.


This one bedroom is a corner home located on the very top floor of a full service co-op building, The Sterling. PHU has an expansive renovated living room, open kitchen, and chic bedroom all surrounded by private outdoor space.


The transformation is evident from when you enter into the home- all living, bedroom, closets, kitchen and hallway flooring has been replaced and updated to hardwood wide plank floors. The baseboards in the living room were refinished to match the hardwood floor and create a better aesthetic flow of natural materials. Also not to be missed is the row of closets in the entry hallway that were custom designed by Creative Closets.


The windowed kitchen was also renovated, opened and brightens the whole home. Elements such as Prima Bianco cabinets, penny floor tile, new white waterfall countertops and geometric ceramic backsplash tile were all professionally installed. All appliances were also newly installed during the renovation and include a stainless steel Fisher and Paykel fridge, dishwasher, as well as Whirlpool microwave and gas oven/stovetop.


Off the living room is sliding door access to the private south-west facing terrace - great for gardening. The space wraps around on both the living room and bedroom side, creating set back privacy throughout. In fact, the whole apartment faces south west with an abundance of natural light all day.


As you turn into the bedroom, you’ll notice a unique feature. A recessed backlit shelf which can frame up to a king size bed, and creates the perfect mood lighting and lends itself for additional storage. The bedroom closet was also expanded to be a walk-in and designed by Creative Closets.


The window treatments in both the living and bedroom are Hunter Douglas and the Shade Store brand; custom outfitted for the space.


The Sterling Co-op, also recently leased out space to a third party storage facility which allows owners to rent additional storage units when needed. There is also an incredibly convenient parking garage directly next door to the building.


The Sterling is a full service Pet Friendly cooperative with an excellent staff and resident superintendent. The building amenities include a laundry room, roof deck and a third party storage facility accessible through the building itself. The building allows pied a terre, guarantor purchases and has a sublease policy after two years ownership.
