Description
Walk into an elegant entry foyer and directly experience the oversized 8 X 10 chef's kitchen with matching herringbone floors and a direct treelined view from its sizable window. The kitchen has all the finest appliances: a full-sized Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf cooktop, Wolf microwave and wall oven, retractable Miele hood, Miele dishwasher, and a Miele washer/dryer. It has a beautifully mirrored and appointed bar. The backsplash marble tile is white Italian Calcutta Gold and counters are in white quartz for practicality. Custom cabinetry is by the Portland, Indiana-based Penville Custom Cabinetry with polished nickel finishes.
Step down into a gracious and well-lit living space with original pre-war detail, including oversized windows, 9' beamed ceilings with LED overhead high-hat lighting, wrought-iron railings, herringbone hardwood floors, crown moldings, and an elegant archway. The living room has ample seating for entertaining and a dining area that easily seats six. There is built-in storage, through-the-wall PTAC units, and landmark-approved double pane windows in every room. Shades and lighting are automatically controlled. The apartment is pin-drop quiet.
The bathroom has been meticulously renovated with fittings from Waterworks, including white marble countertops, a metal washstand, and floor-stone tiles in a basketweave layout. The Thassos marble wall tiles, Toto toilet, Robern medicine cabinet, overhead high-hat LED lighting and sconces, polished nickel finishes throughout, and gorgeous walk-in shower with hand-held and rain shower double heads, and marble bench for in-shower seating complete this timeless, sophisticated, luxurious spa experience.
