Description
The new owners commissioned Robert A.M. Stern to personally redesign this one-of-a-kind home, which combines classic pre-war elegance with all the latest modern luxuries. No expense was spared to ensure the renovation of this home was to the highest level. Each room was soundproofed, and the walls were specially reinforced to support art.
The apartment features exquisite millwork throughout, custom-designed by Robert A.M. Stern. Modern conveniences include iPad-controlled sound, light and climate systems; a state-of-the-art security system; hardware by Guerin, Sheryl Wagner and Lefroy Brooks; and automated shades and lighting. An environmental consultant advised on the top-of-the-line Carrier central air conditioning and water filtration systems to make this home environmentally conscious.
A spectacular entrance foyer opens to the grand living room and spacious adjoining dining room. The sunny kitchen boasts SubZero refrigerators and wine cooler, a stunning La Cornue range with a matching venting hood specially designed by Robert A.M. Stern, Wolf and Gaggenau cooktop and ovens, two sinks, a generous pantry, and a work area with a desk. The upper storage is accessed via a rolling ladder rail system custom-built by Putnam Rolling Ladder Co.
Adjacent is a laundry room as well as a walnut-and-brass butlers pantry. The expansive master bedroom suite has sweeping Park Avenue views, enormous his and hers walk-in-closets (his in walnut, hers in pale burled maple), elegantly appointed his and hers bathrooms complete with radiant heated floors and a separate sitting room. The grand walnut-paneled library features curved bookshelves and a second brass-and-walnut ladder rail system that accesses the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and concealed storage encircling the room.
There are two additional bedrooms suites both with en-suite bathrooms. A residence of this caliber, so thoughtfully designed by a world-renowned architect, is a rare find indeed. A storage unit is included. Co-Exclusive.
