Truly a one-of-a-kind Penthouse triplex at the iconic Hotel Des Artistes on Central Park West; one of New York City's finest white-glove residential cooperatives. Penthouse 909 is a remarkable, sun-drenched triplex home with 5 to 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and over 5,500 square feet making it unlike anything in the city with its spectacular history, superb location across from Central Park, grand proportions, gorgeous details and magnificent private outdoor terrace. This historic home’s design and layout maximizes the dramatic light and scale throughout with nearly 18’ ceilings in the formal expanse, oversized 10’+ casement windows, multiple corner rooms, three open exposures and glorious open city views. Part of ‘Artist’s Row’, the building housed apartments as well as artist’s studios so light was purposefully the most prominent feature. In addition, no detail was overlooked in the stunning renovation of this classic home while seamlessly integrating quality, high-end design into a historically important apartment.
Modern comforts include central air conditioning, a state-of-the-art Sonos audio system, top of line chef’s appliances, luxurious baths including a primary bathroom solarium and extraordinary custom storage and built-ins throughout. A tranquil oasis wonderful for entertaining, the private terrace is fully decked and landscaped with electricity and water and is made private by the stunning gothic architecture of the building’s facade. Old-world architectural elements are numerous throughout the triplex including beamed ceilings, intricately designed wood-burning fireplaces, gothic paneled-staircases, custom built-in window seating, mezzanine Juliet balconies overlooking the formal expanse, Mahogany paneled-corner library with patterned coffered ceiling and pristine hardwood floors.
The first-floor layout allows for open entertaining on a large scale with a dramatic formal expanse enhanced by the double height ceilings and beautiful southern light from three massive windows that reach the ceiling. The fabulous flow provides for a 45’ formal living and dining room with wood-burning fireplace, an elegant corner library / home office with wood-burning fireplace and huge eat-in chef’s kitchen and a sun-filled corner breakfast room with spectacular open city views. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen with central island would be the delight of any level chef and great for entertaining.
