Who This Home Is For (and the problem it solves)
This is for **families upgrading**, **busy executives who need a true Manhattan base**, and **investors who want a rare, high-quality asset**.
The problem is not money. It’s **friction**.
In New York, friction looks like:
* space that feels tight even on your “good” days,
* privacy that disappears the moment your front door opens,
* no outdoor reset button,
* and a home that can’t keep up with your work, your family, and your future.
The pain is sneaky: you stop hosting, stop exhaling, stop enjoying the city you worked so hard to earn.
Here’s the secret: your home is either an expense… or an **[optimization] engine**.
**Any high-performing family or global buyer can solve the problem of “not enough space, privacy, and outdoor breathing room” by using *Penthouse 17 at 40 East End Avenue*, because it’s a full-floor, four-exposure residence with terraces, volume, and boutique-building services that turn daily life into a smooth routine.** ([StreetEasy][1])

The Story of Your Future Home
A full-floor penthouse in Manhattan is a different kind of quiet.
**The elevator opens… and the floor is yours.** ([StreetEasy][1])
PH17 spans approximately **3,237 square feet** with **4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms**—so life finally stops feeling like a constant negotiation. ([StreetEasy][1])
Interior Highlights
This is where the transformation starts—because the “big” features do something small but powerful: they calm your nervous system.
* **11-foot ceilings**: your space feels expansive, not boxed in. ([StreetEasy][1])
* **Oversized casement windows + four exposures**: light moves through your day like a gentle metronome—morning to midnight. ([StreetEasy][1])
* **Direct elevator access**: privacy is built in, not negotiated. ([StreetEasy][1])
* **White oak flooring + refined millwork**: the home reads “elegant,” without trying too hard. ([StreetEasy][1])
If you’ve been searching for a **luxury penthouse condo for sale in Yorkville Manhattan**, this is the rare mix of *beauty and usability*. ([StreetEasy][1])
The Kitchen (and the breakfast room that changes mornings)
This kitchen is designed to host—without turning cooking into a performance.
Expect:
* **High-gloss lacquer Italian cabinetry** and **Arabescato Cervaiole marble** that feels tailored and pristine. ([40 East End][2])
* **Gaggenau appliances** that match the level you play at. ([40 East End][2])
* A real **breakfast room**—not a corner—with terrace access for sunrise coffee and “I’m staying in” peace.
The Terraces (your daily [leverage])
PH17 includes **two terraces** with approximately **193 square feet of exterior space**.
This is where **continuity** shows up: a simple loop of fresh air, river light, skyline glow—repeat daily, and watch your life improve.
The Primary Suite (hotel calm, but you never check out)
The primary suite delivers what NYC buyers really want: **privacy inside privacy**.
* A generous terrace and open views. ([6sqft][3])
* **Two walk-in closets**—because “shared closet diplomacy” is not a luxury lifestyle. ([StreetEasy][1])
* A spa-grade bath with marble, a **6-foot soaking tub**, and **radiant heated floors**. ([40 East End][2])

The Building Advantage: 40 East End
40 East End Avenue is a boutique condo—**18 stories and 29 residences**—with design built around real living (not just lobby photos). ([StreetEasy][1])
A few “quiet flex” details:
* A covered **porte-cochère** for discreet arrivals (your Uber drop-off does not need an audience). ([40 East End][4])
* A double-height **Parlor Lounge** with wet bar and chandelier—perfect for the “just one drink” that becomes a three-hour conversation. ([40 East End][5])
* **Library, Game Room, Fitness Center, and gourmet catering kitchen** to support the way modern families actually live and host. ([40 East End][5])
* **Private storage included** (New York’s most underrated luxury).

Neighborhood Power: Yorkville calm, Manhattan access
East End Avenue is one of those rare pockets that feels like a retreat without feeling remote. The building team highlights proximity to parks and the river—exactly what you want when you need balance. ([40 East End][6])
You’re near **Carl Schurz Park**, a beloved East River park on East End Avenue between East 84th and East 90th Streets. ([cspc][7])
And your commute gets a real boost: Phase 1 of the Second Avenue Subway opened in 2017, extending the Q line with new stations at 72nd and 86th Streets—helping Yorkville feel even more connected. ([MTA][8])

Why NYC and This Purchase
Let’s get down to brass tacks: you’re not buying marble. You’re buying **position**.
The “Secret Codes” inside this listing
* **Full-floor penthouse** = privacy premium + scarcity value. ([StreetEasy][1])
* **Sponsor unit** = first-time sale (often cleaner than resale complexity; still do full legal diligence). ([StreetEasy][1])
* **Financing flexibility** = [leverage]. Listing materials note **maximum financing allowed is 90%** (confirm with your lender/attorney).
* **Monthlies are clear** (common charges and taxes are published), making it easier to underwrite like an investor—even if you’re buying with your heart. ([StreetEasy][1])
And yes, there are planning angles worth discussing with your CPA:
* IRS guidance covers **home mortgage interest deduction** rules. ([IRS][9])
* NYC offers a **Co-op/Condo Property Tax Abatement** for eligible owners (applied for by the building). ([New York City Government][10])
No hype. Just smart structure—because big lives deserve well-built decisions.
