Description
Enter through an elegantly proportioned gallery with floor-to-ceiling wood paneling, a cove-detailed ceiling above and dark-stain 6" wide hardwood floors at your feet. Fabled southwestern exposures draw you into a glorious corner living room which wraps the building's facade, showcasing views over Central Park and the Model Boat Pond, the illustrious prewar architecture of the Dakota, the San Remo, the Beresford and the Museum of Natural History directly across the park and more. Overhead, crown molding and crossbeams have been coved to accentuate the geometry of recessed wood paneling and grand art spaces adorning the living room walls. The handsome decorative fireplace anchors the room and reveals dramatic natural veining in its marble mantle and a mirrored firebox with copper accent shelves and detail within. Opposite, the stressed-mirror accent paneling gently reflects the sunlight adding dramatic dimension to the room.
Immediately adjacent, there is a park-facing dining area with more postcard-worthy views extended by a massive customized kitchen as decadent as it is functional. Finishes include 2" marble slab countertops, custom wood cabinetry with gold-inlaid pulls, custom linen-lined glass backsplash and cabinet doors and a range of fully-integrated appliances including a French door Liebherr refrigerator with double freezer drawer, Subzero 24" sub-counter wine fridge and Miele full-sized dishwasher. There is a 5-burner gas range by Miele and a Viking stainless steel convection oven/microwave and oven.
Both bedrooms face South over 74th Street with lovely side views of Central Park. The smaller of the two is currently in use as a library, accessible off of the living room through a pair of oversized lacquered pocket doors with high-luster brass trim and hardware. The entire room has been dressed in black-stained oak with extensive custom millwork. There is a dedicated wood-paneled customized walk-in closet and en-suite windowed full bathroom which also serves guests. The bathroom is covered in Marmara striated marble and appointed with a deep soaking tub/shower behind a glass enclosure with chrome trim. The sink basin is Kallista, and the floors have radiant heat. The primary suite sits serenely behind a solid-core paneled door and features a massive bedroom with continued molding and millwork details found throughout this breath-taking home. Behind a pair of linen-lined glass French doors, a sumptuous walk-in closet is customized with lacquered shelving, high-luster brass drawers with soft close as well as upholstered shelf backings. The en-suite primary bathroom is clad entirely in Marmara striated marble with a large built-in vanity of black granite and hammered steel sink basin. There is a glass-enclosed rain shower with built-in shelving, a separate bidet and radiant heat beneath the marble.
The entire home has automatic shades and through-wall remote-controlled air conditioning.
