As reported by The New York Daily News, the penthouse on the top floor features four spacious bedrooms with their own bathrooms and walk-in closets, a generous living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen, a convenient pantry, and a cozy home office space for the owner’s use. Although the building was constructed in 1912 and has retained its original exterior for a century, it underwent a major renovation in 2012. This transformation brought a modern touch to the historic architecture by updating the entryway, lobby, and communal areas with sleek and contemporary design elements. Residents of this building can enjoy luxury amenities including 24-hour white glove service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a designated children’s playroom, and a versatile function room that can be used for meetings, gatherings, or even movie nights.

The couple spent a romantic Christmas break in the Caribbean before Emma attended the Golden Globes, where she co-presented an award with Chris Pine while wearing a stunning Christian Dior dress. It is likely that Emma’s new boyfriend will visit her at her new home, as she seemed quite pleased with the properties her estate agent had shown her. Emma, dressed in a black coat, tartan scarf, jeans, and white plimsolls, went house-hunting one day, then changed into a trench coat, black roll-neck jumper, turned-up jeans, and loafers the next day to catch a flight out of New York’s JFK airport back to London. Once in London, Emma took on the role of guest editor for the February issue of a magazine, for which she also graced the cover after a photoshoot with Douglas Booth. Emma jokingly tweeted about her editing experience, admitting that it was not as easy as it may seem to her nearly 12 million followers.
