This $75 Million Penthouse Has the Largest Private Outdoor Pool in New York City
- A $75 million penthouse in West Chelsea, New York City, features a 61-foot private pool, the largest outdoor pool in the city.
Most people living in the center of New York City probably don't expect to have a swimming pool in their building, let alone a gigantic private one where they can skinny dip to their heart's content.
A recently listed penthouse in West Chelsea, however, comes with a rare amenity: a 61-foot private pool, the largest private outdoor pool in all of the Big Apple. The $75 million unit takes up the entire top floor of the Foster + Partners –designed tower on West 21st Street, and it recently underwent a three-year renovation overseen by Ingrao Design and De La Torre Design Studio . Clayton Orrigo at Compass holds the listing .

The 61-foot private pool floats above the Hudson River.
While the rooftop pool may be the feature all your friends will talk about, the rest of the 19th-floor penthouse isn't anything to scoff at. Dual private elevators lift you up to the 19th floor spread that measures in at a comfortably spacious 6,500 square feet. The living room is surrounded by 18-foot floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty. The kitchen, meanwhile, was designed by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten for pro-level home cooks. There's a Gaggenau espresso machine for your morning cuppa, a wine cabinet, and a handcrafted 87-inch French range.

The sweeping views continue into the primary suite, with ample closet space and a spa-style ensuite bathroom. The vanity tops were created from a single slab of hand-selected Italian marble, and both the steam shower's floor and built-in bench are heated. Don't worry, the floors are radiantly heated, too. There are another three bedrooms and an additional 4.5 bathrooms, plus a flexible bonus room that can serve as a fifth bedroom, a home gym, or an office.
Jean-Georges Vongerichten designed the sun-flooded kitchen.
A sculptural staircase (or the private elevator) takes you up to the rooftop terrace, where you have more than 4,500 square feet of outdoor space. It's hard to not become entranced with the lengthy pool, but there's also a vast amount of turf to pad around on (or play soccer!), a built-in grill for alfresco meals, and, a worthy distraction from the pool, 360-degree views of Manhattan and New Jersey.
You may have all you need in the penthouse, but the penthouse's $22,000+ common charges provide a slew of additional perks: a fitness center and yoga studio are accompanied by spa facilities, a resident lounge, a children's playroom, and more.
