The Ultimate Primary Suite: Bedroom features that add style and value

108 Leonard, #PHN (Douglas Elliman Real Estate)

Amidst the reckoning that took place across the country in mid-2020, the phrase "master suite" has gradually gotten phased out of real estate listings in favor of less fraught terms like "primary suite" or "main bedroom." But while the name is changing, the definition has not: It refers to the largest bedroom in a home, one that typically comes with the most storage space and an en suite bathroom.

That is the most basic definition, but luxury developers and designers across New York City have spent the past few years upping the primary suite ante, much to the delight of buyers. Case in point: Public records list former Disney CEO Michael Eisner as the buyer of a $4.3 million three-bedroom apartment at The Pierre where the primary suite offers a walk-in closet, a windowed en suite bath, and access to a private terrace overlooking Central Park. We look at listings with desirable features like these and many more bells and whistles.
