You enter the apartment through an elegant entry foyer that separates the Living and Dining rooms. The generously sized living room has floor-to-ceiling windows, it can accommodate 2 sitting areas and opens up to a sprawling private balcony that expands to the primary suite. Perfect for your morning coffee or evening cocktails, the balcony offers unobstructed southern views of the city landscape and an oblique peek view of Central Park. The large and sunny formal dining room can easily accommodate large dinner parties. It also features a double exposure facing North and East. A powder room is conveniently located off the entry foyer.
The sprawling corner primary suite has a dressing area, a walk-in closet and an en-suite marble windowed bathroom. The second bedroom also features double exposures and an en-suite marble bathroom.
The kitchen wing has a service entrance, a butler's pantry, a office/bedroom and a full bathroom. The windowed Small Bone kitchen features fabulous wood cabinetry with metal details, Caesar stone counters, a Subzero fridge, a Viking stove and a Miele D/W.
This home was designed by Campion A. Platt and was featured in Architectural Digest. The walls throughout have been done in Venetian plaster. No details have been spared in this beautiful apartment. This home features hard wood floors, fabulous wood paneling and ample closets throughout. There are also 3 different A/C zones and a Savant system in place.
With building board and NYC approvals, you could easily transform this apt to have a 3rd larger bedroom and with some additional work you could even have an open kitchen for a more contemporary living. See the 2 alternative floor plans for inspiration.
