Perched atop the storied Sohmer Piano Building—architect Robert Maynicke's crowning achievement on Fifth Avenue—this completely renovated penthouse commands an irreplaceable position adjacent to the Flatiron Building. Two grand foyers connect via a circular baronial limestone staircase, while more than 40 oversized windows and an 80-foot greenhouse-style expanse flood the open-concept interior with extraordinary natural light. The privately deeded roof deck and golden dome cupola deliver panoramic, 360-degree views encompassing the Empire State Building, Madison Square Park, and the Manhattan skyline. A corner primary suite with three exposures, a Waterworks soaking tub, and 35-plus linear feet of closet space completes a residence that is, above all else, a piece of living New York history. In a remarkable philanthropic gesture, all proceeds from the sale will benefit the Gorongosa Project in Mozambique, adding a meaningful legacy to this extraordinary offering. Flatiron Penthouse Living with Private Outdoor Escape. Crowned by an iconic golden dome cupola, the Sohmer Piano Building is Architect, Robert Maynicke’s most extravagant work on this stretch of Fifth Avenue—a veritable Renaissance rocket ship soaring up from its double-story rusticated piers to an octagonal spire, shaping the city’s inimitable skyline. This discreet penthouse, adjacent to the Flatiron building, has been completely renovated, blending true old-world charm with a twist of new development. The entire roof deck is deeded privately, offering a space to marvel at the city.

Inside, the penthouse boasts a gracious eat-in- kitchen with all the premium appliances, expansive living and dining areas that flow effortlessly, and a private rooftop space perfect for al fresco dining with the city as your backdrop. There are two grand foyers connected by a circular baronial limestone staircase and framed by more than 40 oversized windows. An 80-foot expanse of greenhouse-style set of windows on the upper level reveals an abundance of natural light and stunning views of Manhattan landmarks. The corner primary suite offers a luxurious private retreat, featuring three directions of exposure, 35+ linear feet of closet space, leading to a spa-like bathroom with a Waterworks soaking tub. The additional three bedrooms provide flexibility for a home office or guest accommodations, all designed with the same attention to detail, views, and discerning consideration for a luxury lifestyle. Owning this penthouse is not just about living in one of Manhattan’s finest residences—it’s about living in a piece of New York history. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 5 - **Total Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 10 - **Sqft**: 5,777 sqft - **Stories**: 13 - **Year Built**: 1898 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,558 - **Common Charges**: $7,011 / Monthly - **Monthly Taxes**: $11,246 / mo - **Listed On**: Nov 11, 2024 - **Days on Market**: 670 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - In Unit - Building Roof Deck - City ## Buying in a new development? Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1008231013. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.

The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price. - [Estimate these costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/new-development-closing-cost-calculator) - [What sponsor buyers pay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-development-closing-costs-nyc) - [More new developments](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-developments) ## Flatiron Overview of Flatiron [Explore Flatiron](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/flatiron) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Flatiron - [Gramercy real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/gramercy) - [Kips Bay real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/kips-bay) - [Chelsea real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/chelsea) - [Greenwich Village real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/greenwich-village) - [Murray Hill real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/murray-hill) - [Stuyvesant Town real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/stuyvesant-town) ## Related Links - [170 5th Avenue — building page](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buildings/new-york-city/manhattan/170-5th-avenue) - [Flatiron neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/flatiron) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
