There’s something truly magnanimous about New York City. Being home to celebrities, Manhattan is often the address to find luxury abodes. And one such home that’s up for sale is American rapper Jay-Z’s NYC penthouse. The extravagant home also got featured in Jay-Z’s 2007 Blue Magic music video, with the rapper sashaying down those steps to the living room below.

Located in Manhattan’s newest pencil-thin condo towers it offers stunning views of  Central Park and the twin roof decks of this  5,500-square-foot triplex penthouse give you a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline. Listed by luxury real estate company, Brown Harris Stevens the apartment on the 19th and 20th floors of the building features 22-foot floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room for unrestricted sights of the Big Apple.

But what makes Jay-Z’s NYC penthouse a true gem is the home’s 1,500 square feet of outdoor space with a glass-rimmed main deck and a spiral staircase up to the top deck that has a hot tub, loungers and a wood-framed pergola. There is yet another green-frosted-glass-and-stainless-steel spiral staircase designed by New York architect Dean Maltz that elegantly connects the upper and lower levels which were featured in the Blue Magic music video.

However, the beauty of the home is the large bay windows which offer picturesque views. The massive living area too has a 30-foot ceiling and spans over 68 feet in length. On the main floor, there are two bedrooms adjacent to one another, while the floor above has a spacious primary suite, with doors opening out onto that main terrace. A fourth bedroom is also located on this level.

Finally, the home has inside it a salon, fitness centre, clubroom, and a sprawling communal terrace.
