Turn of the Century New York meets 1970s London. This unique residence has undergone a triple mint renovation and features finishes of the highest order. You are welcomed into the spectacular, dramatic 27 foot great room with soaring near 20 foot vaulted ceilings, two Juliet balconies and extraordinary double height North facing windows. A baronial limestone wood burning fireplace by Chesney anchors the room, making it perfect for elegant entertaining and casual living. Two custom spiral drizzle chandeliers by Ochre add to the dramatic effect. A powder room featuring gold and black Murano glass, custom brass fixtures and Calacatta marble is located off the entrance gallery. The large separate formal dining room has been transformed into a state-of-the-art media room. It flows into the huge and stunning windowed chef's eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinets, antiqued zinc countertops and an island with antique marble top and vintage steel machine base complemented by Subzero refrigerator and wine refrigerators. There is magnificent flooring by Paris Ceramics and a six burner stove. The upper duplex features three bedrooms and two baths, a washer/dryer and an office. The expansive master bedroom features exquisite custom cabinetry and an abundance of storage. The luxurious en-suite master bath has Carrara marble double sinks, and a free-standing shower with finishes by Ann Sachs. No detail has been overlooked, including the restoration of the original radiators - works of art in themselves. Wrought iron French doors throughout add to the ambience of sophisticated style. This exceptional home also includes an abundance of storage space. Located in a very exclusive and intimate 1906 cooperative in the heart of the Upper Westside, this three bedroom, two and one-half bath duplex residence in triple mint condition offers a calm and quiet respite from the vibrant city outside.
