This duplex penthouse in 1158 Fifth Avenue, just listed for the first time since 1975 for $17 million, wins some originality points for its conservatory that doubles as the master bath, featuring a huge marble tub. It also wins some regular points for the rest of 47-foot wraparound terrace, which, like the conservatory, was done up by the owner, a landscape and interior designer, who outfitted it with a lush English-style garden. And then there's the rest of the apartment, which features eleven rooms including a solarium/bedroom, large formal dining room, library, and entry gallery. Throw a ballroom in there and this would be a good place for a live-action game of Clue.
