Available for the first time in a generation, the Finch Skybridge is one of Manhattan’s most distinctive and architecturally significant residences. A true trophy home, this extraordinary skybridge residence redefines luxury living, blending artistic vision with structural brilliance in a way that is simply unmatched. Originally designed for a filmmaker, this exceptional home offers a rare chance to experience townhouse-style living suspended in the sky. The result of a meticulous renovation spanning two years and led by the structural engineer of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this residence seamlessly fuses historic charm with bold architectural innovation. Curated in collaboration with Kushner Studios, the home revolves around a restored turn of the century bridge that once connected Finch College to its dormitory. Now reimagined as a striking steel-and-concrete skywalk, the bridge features a glass ceiling and under-lit glass floor, framed by triangular windows offering sweeping city views. Original rectangular windows on the opposite side preserve the landmarked elegance of the historic structure. The flexible floor plan allows for either a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout, or a two-bedroom configuration with a dramatic secondary suite—offering private outdoor space and versatile use options. Outdoor space is abundant, with three private balconies and a whimsical roof garden featuring a white picket fence and dining area. Panoramic skyline views are on full display from nearly every angle. Inside, thoughtful details abound: three separate HVAC systems ensure personalized comfort, while a refined kitchen and beautifully finished baths add both luxury and function. The dramatic skybridge connects to the duplex penthouse at 61 East 77th Street, where the living room is anchored by a fireplace beneath soaring 18-foot ceilings. A floating staircase leads to two spacious bedrooms, a well-appointed primary bath, and a private roof garden. On the lower level, the kitchen, dining, and living areas create an inviting space for entertaining beside the fireplace’s warm glow. Abundant natural light fills the home throughout, and the layout provides ample privacy with distinct, thoughtfully designed living areas. Ideal for those in search of a residence that is as singular as it is spectacular, this home is a living work of art—perfectly balancing modern sophistication with creative expression. The Finch is a 13-story pre-war cooperative built in 1920, offering residents a part-time doorman, resident superintendent, 75% financing, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and unlimited subletting after two years. Conveniently located on the second floor, two laundry rooms are available just steps from the residence, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted. Please note: Special assessments of $407. 20/month for unit #8D and $619. 20/month for unit #9E/10E are in place for 30 months to fund hallway and lobby upgrades. Situated just a block from Central Park and within walking distance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frick Collection, Butterfield Market, Madison Avenue shopping, and top-tier restaurants and galleries, the location is second to none. Access to public transportation is also close at hand, adding to the property’s exceptional convenience. PH10E is an exceptional opportunity to live in a work of art.
