Description
A unique layout at 955 Fifth, 7A is not the typical pre-war warren of rooms but over 2,300 square feet of graceful spaces that flow. Architecture and design studio Stonefox renovated the apartment with the most beautiful materials and latest technology while building on the modern minimalism originally created by the design world darling of the ‘70s-’80s, Ward Bennett. The grand double living room with almost 30 feet of Central Park frontage, has two extra-large picture windows which fill the space with sunlight.
A wood burning fireplace, dual seating areas, and discrete recessed art lighting, create the perfect room for relaxing and entertaining. The dining room with a distinctive Candela curved wall and window allows for elegant or informal dinners. The luminous new kitchen with Celador countertops, Imperial Vermont Danby marble backsplash, and top appliances is a dream to cook in.
The breakfast room / study with eastern views of the Carlyle Hotel could easily be converted back to a bedroom if so desired. The sumptuous bedroom suite features cerused oak millwork in the dressing rooms and a luxurious en-suite bathroom clad in honed Olympia White Vermont Danby marble. Additional elements include a marble guest half bath, washer/dryer, Lutron lighting, motorized shades, and all new electrical and AV wiring.
