The homeowner is an award-winning artist who carefully designed this incomparable home to marry modern conveniences with exquisite attention to detail including over $50,000 in custom enhancements and upgrades. Highlights include a full room hand-painted mural in the second bedroom, new white oak wide plank floors by Khars throughout the home and high-end lighting in all rooms. Upon entering this special home your eye is immediately drawn to the extra high nearly 10ft ceilings and floor to ceiling wall of glass framing the rejuvenating green treetop and blue sky sunny views bringing the outside in through double doors opening to the balcony retreat with a custom cedarwood privacy planter.
Back inside, cooking becomes an art form in the home's chic open kitchen. Anchored by a beautifully honed Calacatta marble island with Thomas O'Brien for Circa Pendant Lights, a counter level bar to comfortably sit several people, it boasts stainless steel Viking appliances, a built in wine cooler and custom built in feature wall shelving, all flowing beautifully to the ample dining area. The living area is wide and airy, illuminated by a dramatic Kelly Wearstler Chandelier for Visual Comfort. The dreamy king-sized master bedroom has plenty of space to comfortably include a home office with views of lower Manhattan, and is bathed in easy lighting when the sun goes down from a Vintage Italian Tole Chandelier. Pass-through extra deep double closets to the en suite bath clad in warm limestone and marble that includes a double vanity, a glass enclosed shower with a custom teak floor and a separate soaking tub.
On the opposite side of the home is the second bedroom, a destination of its own featuring a hand painted a full-room woodland mural that is absolutely stunning. Although designed for a child's room, this unique masterpiece would also make a phenomenal back drop for any home office and is sure to liven up those long zoom meetings! The second bedroom is comparable in size to the master allowing for multiple uses of the space and includes an extra deep closet. Finishing out the floorplan is a second bright and clean full bath with marble tile detailing plus another deep soaking tub, a utility closet that includes a new Bosch washer and dryer, custom solar shades, central AC and custom closet storage systems throughout.
