Description
Filled with the rich architectural detail and bespoke craftsmanship you'd expect in a fine prewar apartment house, this exceptional home welcomes you inside with a gracious foyer and coat closet. Ahead, the vast open-plan living space sets an elegant tone with herringbone hardwood floors, extraordinary millwork, soaring 10-foot-tall ceilings and a wall of bright east-facing windows overlooking Park Avenue. Relax alongside a cast-stone gas fireplace in the living room, or host lavish dinner parties under a crystal chandelier in the dining area. Ahead, the windowed kitchen caters to gatherings large and small thanks to floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with nickel hardware, a large pantry area, Carrara marble counters and upscale stainless steel appliances, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a cabinet-front dishwasher and wine refrigerator.
Head to the home's southern wing to find a windowed full bathroom flanked by two king-size bedrooms filled with luxurious carpet and roomy closets. The corner bedroom offers glorious southern and eastern exposures, while the other includes a south-facing window. Off the kitchen, the staff room features a new bathroom, making it perfect as a third bedroom, guest quarters or a home office. New through-wall air conditioning ensures year-round comfort in this pristine Park Avenue showplace.
