Description
Through a private and keyed entry vestibule finished with honed St. Clair marble flooring and wire brushed rift cut European white oak wall paneling, residents are greeted by a secure steel and tempered art glass entry door leading into a stately entry gallery. The entertaining wing includes a formal dining room, a gracious living room with a gas fireplace and south-facing balcony, and an adjacent library with a south-facing terrace offering views over 79th Street to midtown Manhattan.
The eat-in kitchen, custom-designed by Steven Harris Architects, is outfitted in hand-painted custom Italian cabinetry with polished nickel trim, honed Imperial Danby marble slab countertops and backsplashes, and a custom stainless steel island with a Nordic Gray marble slab countertop. Professional-grade appliances include a 60" Wolf 6-burner range, wall oven, speed oven, and fully-vented range hood; two Sub-Zero refrigerators with integrated freezer drawers and a full-height wine refrigerator; two Miele dishwashers; and two Julien stainless steel undermount sinks with InSinkErator disposal and Dornbracht faucet.
The bedroom wing offers tranquil and picturesque north and east views over gardens and landmarked townhouses below. The primary bedroom suite features two oversized walk-in closets, a windowed dressing room, and an east-facing wall of casement-style windows. The primary bathroom is outfitted with honed Olympic Danby stone slab full-height walls and floors; a custom acid etched mirror vanity with an Olympic Danby stone slab countertop, nickel trim, and Lucite drawer pulls; recessed chrome-trimmed medicine cabinets featuring integrated lighting; and a Da Vinci freestanding soaking tub. Additional features include a separate nickel framed stall shower in fluted glass with a stone bench and a Duravit water closet.
Secondary bedrooms are generously proportioned and feature ensuite bathrooms clad in Honed Nestos Grey stone full-height tile walls and floors, a custom floating millwork vanity with a Nestos Grey slab countertop, and either a stall shower enclosed with frameless ribbed glass or a Kaldewei Puro undermount tub with a Nestos Grey slab tub deck and apron. Dornbracht chrome fixtures and a Duravit water closet complete these refined spaces.
The powder room, located adjacent to the entry gallery, provides a striking focal point with a floating vanity with a honed Maya quartzite slab countertop, custom integral sink, and matching door surrounds and base details along with Dornbracht fittings in a platinum finish and a Duravit water closet.
Additional thoughtful residence features include pre-wiring for home automation, pre-wired shade pockets in every room, VRF individually zoned heating and cooling, and a discreet service entrance. An oversized laundry room in the bedroom wing is outfitted with a sink and high capacity LG washer and dryer that vents to the exterior.
