120 E 87th Street Apartment P22 | $17,995,00 | Agent: Victoria G. Hersh Coldwell Banker Warburg (co-exclusive with Cathy Taub of Sotheby's)

The penthouse condo may be best described as an expansive, sophisticated oasis. For starters, it has six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, and owners will love the views from each and every direction. To achieve it, architect Steven Harris combined three apartments, while giving it some signature style. Owners enter through a private elevator landing, complete with decorative doors, which connect to the massive living room. To the east, there’s a den, a large study (with bookcases), and two bedrooms, including the primary suite, which has a huge walk-in closet, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom.

Back through the living room, to the west, the unit expands into the large dining room, and past that, the eat-in kitchen, four more bedrooms, and the great room. There are too many details to list — including a hidden, designer wet bar, 12-foot soaring ceilings, refined hardwood floors, built-ins throughout, with desks, cabinets, drawers, and more. Also, much of the home is connected by the sprawling wrap-around terrace, which flanks the northern and western sides of the home, side to side. The terrace is simply a marvel, with a custom-designed fence, an outdoor shower, beautiful landscaping, grills, and custom lighting and irrigation systems.

If all of that isn’t enough, the home is perched atop Park Avenue Court, one of the city’s premier residential buildings, which offers an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a private lobby-level terrace, concierge, support staff, and additional storage. Plus, owners will be near schools, restaurants, markets, high-end shops, and just a few blocks away from Central Park.

From Door to Destination with Ease - Porte Cocheres at NYC Condos Make Travel Season a Breeze

With "getaway season" fast approaching, I want to propose a timely round-up of luxurious porte cocheres that help make travel more seamless for residents of NYC's top condos.

Now's the time when New Yorkers are finalizing their vacation plans and anticipating last-minute weekend trips. The process of leaving the city to venture out East or to other destinations within driving distance is made significantly less daunting when you have a dedicated place to load your car and get situated before hitting the road. Often as beautiful as they are functional, porte cocheres are the ultimate convenience for anyone on the go. Residents with access to this amenity can skip the stress and hassle that comes along with fetching the car from a nearby garage, attempting to double park on a busy city street and trying not to break a sweat while schlepping luggage to and from their apartment.

200 East 83rd

200 East 83rd, a condo tower designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, celebrates the architectural romance of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The nearly sold out 35-story residential tower offers its residents expansive views of Central Park and the Midtown skyline as well as access to several coveted amenities, including a vaulted porte cochere. Residents are welcomed by a gated porte cochere with cobblestone paving and custom wall lanterns that open into a private courtyard. Behind the gates of the porte cochere is a car elevator to a fully automated and concealed underground parking system allowing for total privacy.

Front & York

Designed inside and out by celebrated architect Morris Adjmi, Front & York is pioneering an unprecedented amenity-driven lifestyle in DUMBO, Brooklyn's most coveted waterfront neighborhood. A striking porte cochere sets the tone for residents' arrival to this one-of-a-kind residential experience and complements the building's generous 30-foot-wide, tree-lined sidewalks. Front & York is also home to the largest residential garage in DUMBO, complete with secured indoor parking, charging stations for electric cars and bicycle storage with a repair station.

Waterline Square

Located along the Hudson River where Midtown meets the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Waterline Square represents an unprecedented approach to urban living. The three-building luxury residential development features beautifully designed homes and an unmatched suite of amenities. Each building sports an elegant porte cochere and valet parking garages that offer residents privacy and convenience — the ultimate luxury.

The Cortland

The Cortland is a new residential project located at 555 West 22nd Street across from the Hudson River Park in West Chelsea. A celebration of American craftsmanship, The Cortland represents a unique collaboration between two of the world’s leading architecture practices, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig. The Cortland reflects the synergy of the firm’s two unique styles, and their shared dedication to craftsmanship, natural materials and deep understanding about how people want to live. Upon arriving, residents will drive into the private motor court— adorned with a bronze canopy and set off by lush landscaping and a limestone archway— and reap the benefits of the secure and convenient space.

4 Tips for Homebuyers in a Rising Interest Rate Environment

By Stan Ponte

Stan Ponte

Rising mortgage rates are causing uncertainty for many homebuyers in today’s market. The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate home loan rose to 5.27%, according to Freddie Mac on May 5th. In comparison, the average rate on America’s most popular home loan was 3.22% in early January and 2.96% a year ago.

While the rising interest rate environment might seem daunting for some buyers, there are still ways for consumers to purchase their dream home even though rates are higher. Here are four tips for homebuyers to consider when looking to purchase a home in a rising rate environment.

1. Cash is king

If buyers have the ability to pay all-cash for a home today, they will have a significant purchasing advantage and be seen as more likely to transact in the eyes of the seller. 

2. Be prepared

Buyers need to be extra prepared as time is likely not on their side. In today’s environment, interest rates can move quickly, either up or down. Buyers must be prepared to either buy interest rate locks or lose out because they are not ready to transact when they find a home. It’s important for buyers to work closely with a mortgage banker to ensure their current financial documents are updated and ready so that they can transact the moment they find a home. Buyers should triple check that all of their bank documents are updated with their mortgage banker especially if a home search is taking longer than expected. If a home search takes more than a month, buyers should provide new bank records so they can transact quickly when they are ready. If you are looking at potentially buying a co-op, where you own shares in the building rather than own the property itself, you may wish to do some research into what you need to do in order to get approved by the co-op board who are in charge of deciding whether your application will be accepted so that you give yourself the best chance of being able to secure somewhere to live.

3. Be creative 

Buyers should work closely with their mortgage banker to understand the different loan products and get creative with their financing options. Now is the time for buyers to lean into the competitive process for mortgage providers to determine what products are available today, at what rate, and at what cost. Adjustable-rate mortgages have returned as a way to straddle today’s rising rate environment, but buyers should understand all of the risks and the benefits associated with these types of mortgages to determine if they are a viable option for them.

4. Be careful 

While demand is coming back for adjustable-rate mortgages today, buyers should carefully read the fine print and fully understand the mortgage product that are taking. When signing a five, seven, or even 10-year adjustable rate mortgage, there are potential negatives and buyers must be careful as these are considered slightly risker than a 30-year fixed. Not only do these mortgages adjust to the current market rate once the term is up, but some contain balloon payments and/or the inability to refinance at will.

Rising interest rates and other economic headwinds are causing concern for many homebuyers today, but with this uncertainty comes great opportunities in the current market. There are some great deals out there and now is the moment for buyers to act if they can. Rates can still be attained, but the mortgage product might look different today.

Stan Ponte is a Senior Global Real Estate Advisor and Associate Broker with Sotheby’s International Realty - East Side Manhattan Brokerage. He was named the #2 agent across all firms in Manhattan by individual sales volume in 2020 according to “The Thousand” list, an annual national ranking by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends.

Thrive Causemetics just launched the Sunproof 3-in-1 Invisible Priming Sunscreen with SPF 37. This is the ultimate versatile primer that transforms skin into the ideal canvas for makeup (or just velvety skin on its own) that won't budge for up to 16 hours. Protect, hydrate, smooth and shield skin from UVA + UVB rays with SPF 37, while at the same time creating a water-resistant and velvet-matte finish that deeply moisturizes skin. Always infused with skin-loving ingredients and 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Best of all the product is clear and blends into all skin tones evenly with no residue.

Short hair is timeless and this year jaw length bob and Bixie (combo of bob and pixie) are the it-cut. Making sure to always start my style with Pureology Colorfanatic 21- Benefit Multitasking Spray. It’s a lightweight leave-in conditioner that primes the hair with heat protection and lightweight nourishment at the same time.

2022 is all about warming up the hair color! Warm tones are in creating a high-end luxury look and feel to your image. When you think of warm tones, think buttery, butterscotch, cinnamon, roasted almond, and warm coffee bean. One of my favorites is the Luxurious rich browns, which add a dimension of depth to the hair. Keeping the look fresh and vibrant I recommend Pureology’s Strengthcure Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner. The purple toning properties will counteract any unwanted brassy tones that happen over time with fading

Powergloss is restorative hair and scalp treatment designed to use while you do. Their unique formula goes on dry hair to create overall hair health by repairing, moisturizing, balancing pH, and thickening from root to tip with organic ingredients. When used regularly for an extended period of time, our blend of castor, rosehip, rosemary, and lavender oils stimulates and nourishes the scalp while creating a healthy environment for hair to grow, resulting in improved hair thickness and strength.

A powerful combinations of hydration, cell renewing and anti-aging technology, this IAOX serum will have your skin feeling refreshed.

• Fights “Inflammaging”: Research has shown that chronic inflammation is the top cause of aging. Unlike acute skin inflammation – that stimulates the body’s innate immune response to protect + repair itself – chronic inflammation exhausts skin’s defensive and regenerative capability resulting in damage known as “inflammaging.” Visual signs of inflammaging include dehydration, dullness, uneven tone and premature lines + wrinkles.

Their thesis for the design of this product is simple: A fast-absorbing facial oil with the antioxidant profile of pure virgin marula oil, and the skin restorative benefits of vitamin A and ceramides, without any essential oils or fragrances.

The set by Jono Pandolfi is based on the design of their Square Sided bowl, but to make it perfectly suited to pets, they increased the height of the walls so that it can hold more (two cups of kibble, comfortably) and made the base weightier so that even the most enthusiastic eaters won’t be able to knock it around too much.
