The plaza penthouse just looks incredible. It kind of reminds me of the movie Brewsters Millions where he wants the have the designer make a room for him where he feels like he could die in. This would be this for me. It’s amazing and stunning. The views are incredible. And the art is gorgeous.
What an incredible place! I can’t take my eyes off the dining room, it looks like out of fairy tale!
What can you say – these pictures are beautiful, breathtaking. The bathroom is my favorite. The entire place looks like it should be in a movie.
