Description
Masterfully reimagined in a style that embodies both old New York grandeur and comfortable elegance, this spectacular sunlit Classic Six room residence is fabulously located in one of the most distinguished boutique pre-war cooperatives on Park Avenue. Replete with exquisite detailing and impeccably designed to capture the beauty and grace of this celebrated neighborhood, this convertible three-bedroom home has been painstakingly renovated with no expense spared and no detail overlooked. The newly updated stylish semi-private elevator landing opens onto an entrance gallery, which flows into the generously proportioned living room with soaring nearly 10-foot ceilings, gorgeous crown moldings, and ample space for multiple seating arrangements. This gracious living room is flanked by the intimate formal dining room with an exquisite marble mantel fireplace imported from Italy as its centerpiece on one side and the stunning library with a second imported Italian marble mantelpiece on the other. Offering striking architectural symmetry, each room is separated from the living room with custom solid wood pocket doors of the finest craftmanship. The library has a closet and could easily be used as a bedroom, as was its function in the original floorplan. The spacious gourmet kitchen with custom wood cabinets, marble countertops, and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a 48” Wolf range with a custom vented hood and double ovens, two Bosch dishwashers, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator will delight even the most discerning chef. A handsome butler's pantry with beautifully designed cabinets cleverly conceals the Asko washing machine and Asko vented dryer. Adjacent to the butler's pantry is a bonus room which could function as work-from-home office, small sitting room, or breakfast room. Two meticulously appointed bedrooms offer comfort and tranquility. The luxurious primary bedroom suite with two large, outfitted closets enjoys fantastic sunlight through oversized windows overlooking a beautiful row of landmarked townhouses on East 62nd Street. The gorgeous primary bathroom has a custom marble sink, porcelain and marble tile, a cast iron soaking tub, custom shower doors, and is fitted with premium fixtures, including Lefroy Brooks porcelain and polished nickel. The second bedroom is a private retreat, separated from the rest of the residence and adjacent to a lovely renovated bathroom with Carrara marble tiles, Lefroy Brooks porcelain and polished nickel fixtures, and a shower stall with custom doors and rain shower head. Professionally decorated with meticulous attention to design detail as well as function, this one-of-a-kind renovation also included upgrading all the electrical, installing new through-wall HVAC units, replacing all the plumbing in the kitchen and bathrooms, and upgrading and rerouting the exterior venting for the custom stove hood, clothes dryer and the 2nd bathroom exhaust fan. Custom millwork was done throughout, including the replacement of all ceiling and baseboard moldings and all window and doorway casements. Rarely does an exceptional turn-key residence like this come onto the market.
