This spectacular and grand 9-room corner residence located in a white-glove, prewar Fifth Avenue cooperative, with amazing direct Central Park views from every room, has recently undergone a floor-to-ceiling, stud-to-stud, and state-of-the-art renovation for the first time in over 50 years. This three/four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is sun-filled and has been transformed into a modern high-end manse, while retaining the classic scale and pedigree of a pre-war property.
From a beautifully restored semi-private elevator landing, you will enter a magnificent 26-foot white marble clad gallery which acts as the central access point for each room. Custom solid mahogany doors lead to the impressive 24’ living room with a WBF and an adjacent stately corner library with custom built-ins and elegant box beamed ceilings. Central Park views and sun from the south and west flow through the eight windows in these rooms. The elegant windowed dining room is also just off the central gallery, complete with a gas fireplace, housed in a striking tailor-made marble accent wall. All rooms are ideally proportioned for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining.
A chef’s dream, the eat-in kitchen has been meticulously renovated with custom cabinets and a built-in banquette serving as a breakfast nook. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-line appliances including a 36“Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, 2 Miele dishwashers, 1 Wolf six-burner range with grill, 2 Wolf ovens, a warming drawer, a Wolf microwave/convection oven, and an Electrolux full size washer/dryer.
The regal master bedroom suite is graced with French silk wall coverings, 5 large closets plus a walk-in, and a gas fireplace. The windowed en-suite master bath is finished in Carrera marble and a radiant heated floor. Two additional large bedroom suites, both with en-suite windowed Carrera marble bathrooms, and a staff bedroom also with a marble bathroom, complete this glamorous home. All bathrooms have polished nickel hardware.
No expense has been spared in the renovation of this singular home, including the most extraordinary finished high gloss paint from Fine Paints of Europe, dual-zone central air, all new soundproof windows, custom recessed lighting, and new oak, stone, and marble flooring throughout. Each living space enjoys “quiet rock’ wall board partitioning, new solid wood interior doors, and many other additional special touches.
