39 W 67TH Street #501

Meticulously renovated with the most exquisite taste, this extraordinary apartment creates the distinct illusion of London in New York. The elegant living room is bathed in soft, southern light filtered through a large six-over-six window-paned bay window, affording a sidelong view of Central Park as well as a charming window seat. Custom millwork carpentry creates new Palladian style arches inspired by Central Park's iconic Bow Bridge, including one framing a lovely bookcase, which in turn is bordered by artfully disguised storage compartments. Additional features include new, gleaming four-inch plank oak floors, custom recessed lighting, built-in Boston Acoustic speakers, excellent closet space, new radiators with custom covers, and a fireplace with specially designed mantle of faux limestone and slate. In the gourmet kitchen you will find beautiful Calcutta marble counters, top-of-the-line cabinetry, Liebherr refrigerator, Viking stove, GE Profile Series dishwasher, and an LG washer/dryer. The original 20th century curved staircase, with distinctive turned spindle banister accents, leads to the second floor, where the master bedroom also enjoys a south facing bay window, providing the perfect space for a desk, and again a sidelong view of the Park. The bath is separated European fashion into two private chambers; one with a Kohler soaking tub and Waterworks fixtures surrounded by Carrera marble and floating Calcutta marble topped sink, the other with wall-mounted toilet and petite sink. The second bedroom is currently a nursery, with excellent potential to be a home office or guest bedroom. Throughout this very special apartment, the artistic attention to detail and the extensive use of the best quality materials may have you feeling you've been magically transported to Belgravia, Mayfair or Sloane Square, when in fact you're on one of the Upper West Side's favorite tree lined blocks, perfectly situated between Central Park and Lincoln Center.
