Contemporary Murray Hill penthouse with an incredible terrace asks $3.25M

By Dana Schulz

The listing for this $3,250,000 three-bedroom co-op in Murray Hill touts the property as a "true penthouse," explaining that it "sits on top of the building proper and is accessed through a private entrance at rooftop level." That location (which sounds pretty darn good to us!) also affords the home at 244 Madison Avenue an incredible rooftop terrace, complete with cozy built-in seating and dining, as well as views of the Empire State Building and Midtown skylines.
