The Best Luxury Duplex Penthouses in the US

Townhouses have long ranked at the top of the list of sought-after real estate. Developers today are elevating the best features of townhouses – multiple stories, expansive living areas and unparalleled privacy, among others – and recreating them in the form of equally charming sky-high duplex condominiums. Located at the crown of new luxury towers or boutique buildings, the following rare penthouse-level homes deliver a living experience like no other. 1. Penthouse C at 200 East 83rd Crowning the top two floors of the 35-story condo tower designed by the renowned Robert A.M. Stern Architects with interiors by Rottet Studio, Penthouse C at 200 East 83rd presents an opportunity to not only enjoy a masterfully-designed duplex home perched high above the city, but access to a suite of coveted amenities and conveniences such as a 70-foot pool in the sky and automated onsite parking complemented by a vaulted porte-cochere allowing for total privacy.
