Some Manhattan apartments offer a great view.
This one offers all of them at once.
The former home of fashion mogul Steve Madden has just hit the market for $11.5 million, bringing a full-floor “sky mansion” to the top of the Upper East Side skyline.
Located at 200 East 69th Street, Apartment 47, the 4,617-square-foot residence sits high above the city with cinematic 360-degree views of Central Park, the East River, the Hudson River, and the Manhattan skyline.
The listing is held by Justin Stolarczyk of Brown Harris Stevens, and it delivers the kind of layout rarely seen in Manhattan condos: an entire floor, a private elevator entry, six balconies, and exposures in every direction.
A full-floor Manhattan residence perched on the 47th story
This is a true full-floor condominium — meaning no neighbors sharing walls, ceilings, or hallways.
The apartment spans 4,617 square feet and includes six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half bath, spread across 10 rooms. Every direction of the compass is covered, with east, west, north, and south exposures that allow natural light and skyline views to pour in all day long.
It’s the kind of Manhattan layout that feels closer to a private mansion in the sky than a condo.
A private elevator opens straight into a dramatic vaulted foyer
Arrival is part of the experience here.
A key-locked private elevator opens directly into a barrel-vaulted foyer with 12-foot ceilings, instantly setting the tone for the scale of the home. It’s a grand entry moment that feels more like a penthouse at a luxury hotel than a typical apartment landing.
From there, the home splits into distinct wings — one geared toward formal living and Central Park views, the other designed for everyday comfort and entertaining.
A west-facing living room with Central Park front and center
One wing of the apartment is anchored by a 30-foot living room overlooking Central Park.
The space features hand-laid oak parquet de Versailles floors, a classic pattern usually reserved for historic European estates and top-tier Manhattan residences. A private balcony off the living room puts Central Park directly in view, creating a front-row seat to one of the city’s most iconic landscapes.
It’s the kind of living room built for sunset watching, cocktail parties, and quiet mornings with the skyline stretched out below.
A second living and dining wing with coffered ceilings
On the opposite side of the apartment is a more relaxed living and dining area, positioned beneath 12-foot coffered ceilings.
This space leans into warmth and comfort with antique chestnut floors, a breakfast nook, and direct connection to the kitchen. Two additional balconies extend off this side of the home, giving the east-facing rooms their own outdoor moments and city views.
The layout smartly separates entertaining zones without making the apartment feel chopped up.
A chef’s kitchen built around high-end European design
The kitchen sits open to the dining area and features custom cabinetry and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, a brand favored in luxury Manhattan condos for its sleek, high-performance design.
It’s a serious cooking space but still social, positioned so the person cooking is never cut off from the rest of the apartment.
With two balconies nearby, even the kitchen benefits from light, air, and skyline scenery.
Six balconies scattered across the entire floor
One of the home’s standout features is its six separate balconies — a rarity for a condo of this size and age.
Rather than a single terrace, the outdoor space is distributed throughout the apartment, allowing different rooms to have their own private outdoor access. Some face Central Park, others look out over the rivers and skyline, giving each zone of the home its own view personality.
It’s the kind of setup that makes the apartment feel expansive and constantly connected to the city.
A primary suite wrapped in windows and skyline views
The primary suite is positioned as a true retreat within the full-floor layout.
It features wraparound windows, a private balcony overlooking Central Park, and a large spa-style marble bathroom. The bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, creating a private sanctuary that feels removed from the rest of the apartment.
With the height of the building and the unobstructed exposures, the suite feels suspended above the city.
Bathrooms finished with radiant heated floors
All five full bathrooms and the powder room feature radiant heated floors, a small but very New York luxury detail that makes cold mornings significantly better.
It’s one of those upgrades that signals the apartment was built for comfort as much as for visual impact.
Storage space that actually matches the size of the home
Large Manhattan apartments often fall short on storage. But not here.
The residence comes with two deeded storage units, along with ample built-in storage throughout the apartment. There’s also a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer, another must-have feature in high-end condos.
Five additional bedrooms spread across the residence
Beyond the primary suite, the apartment includes five additional bedrooms, all positioned across the full floor for privacy and flexibility.
Whether used as guest rooms, home offices, creative spaces, or staff quarters, the scale of the residence allows each room to feel properly sized (not squeezed into leftover square footage).
A white-glove condominium with hotel-level services
The building at 200 East 69th Street is a full-service luxury condominium offering:
- 24-hour doorman and concierge
- Attended garage
- State-of-the-art health club
- Landscaped outdoor area with playground
- Private storage
It’s designed to function more like a residential resort than a standard apartment building.
A Frank Williams-designed Upper East Side residential tower
The building itself carries architectural pedigree.
It was designed by Frank Williams, who famously collaborated with I.M. Pei on the Four Seasons Hotel. The 56-story brick tower rises 634 feet and is known for its terraced setbacks and expansive balconies, making it one of the tallest and most recognizable residential buildings on the Upper East Side.
Its height is a major reason apartments like this one can capture such wide, unobstructed views.
In a Lenox Hill location near parks, rivers, and culture
The condo sits in Lenox Hill, just moments from Central Park, the East River Greenway, museums and galleries, and world-class shopping and dining. It’s a prime Upper East Side location that balances residential calm with quick access to everything Manhattan offers.
The Steve Madden connection adds a fashion-world backstory
Adding another layer of interest, the apartment was previously owned by Steve Madden, the fashion entrepreneur behind the globally recognized shoe brand.
It’s the kind of celebrity ownership that feels fitting for a sky-high Manhattan showpiece: bold, expansive, and designed to make a statement.
A rare Manhattan “house in the sky” experience
What makes this listing stand out isn’t just the square footage or the views — it’s the full-floor experience.
- No shared walls.
- Private elevator access.
- Balconies in every direction.
- Central Park and river views at once.
At $11.5 million, it represents a shrinking category of Manhattan real estate: the true sky mansion — a residence that lives like a private home, but floats above one of the greatest cityscapes in the world.
