Description

Sometimes a home comes to market that photographs and descriptions simply do not do it justice… this is that home! Soaring above the Upper East Side this massive and mint condition 3,500 square foot 4 bed with an extra 1,000 square feet of private roof deck space was masterfully reimagined by AD featured designer Devin Hines from Hines Collective. Made for city living, this home seamlessly blends modernity, warmth and a light-filled tone while emanating quiet luxury at sub $2k/sqft. The various living areas of the apartment are arranged for gracious and convivial entertaining, with one space flowing into the other through elements such as a stunning two-sided absolute black granite fireplace connecting the living room and library, and a large marble screen that allows natural light and sight lines to flow from the living room to the dining room in the center of the apartment.

Tucked away for privacy, the jewel box powder room shines with hand-embroidered and painted silk wallcoverings from Fromental, a hammered copper sink, and “Tundra Gray” marble countertop. Meanwhile, the chef’s kitchen offers custom hand-raked oak cabinetry and “Organic White” quartz countertops. The serene space is well appointed with appliances from Miele, Wolf, and Gaggenau, including a full-size wine fridge, and connects to the dining room via a wet bar nook. Above, the residence’s private rooftop terrace is a rare and glorious escape offering panoramic vistas of the New York Skyline.
