7 W 81ST Street #6B

"The Legendary Beresford Meets Downtown Chic" This TRIPLE MINT exceptional home pairs striking architectural character with a recently completed sophisticated total renovation. Grand Scale, including generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings, raised door frames, oversized new casement windows.......makes this Classic 6 Room apartment feel like a downtown loft. From this masterfully designed apartment, one experiences magical views of The Rose Planetarium and Skyline Views of the buildings along Central Park South and Midtown, dramatically illuminated at nighttime, and southern views of Central Park, which change with the seasons. Also, the incredible vantage point from this apartment is a front row seat to the festivities the evening before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where West 81st Street between CPW and Columbus Ave. is a staging area for the giant balloons. One enters the apartment from the semi-private elevator landing into the grand gallery. The generously proportioned gallery, which bridges the public areas of the home, is very welcoming and is the perfect area for showcasing art. The formal living room has a fireplace (not working currently) surrounded by a beautiful marble mantel and hearth, lots of custom built-ins, including bookcases and cabinetry below the windows, custom ceiling lights, and beautiful solid wood floors. This south-facing room receives amazing natural light and has outstanding views as previously described. The other end of the gallery opens into the banquet-sized dining room, which serves everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond the dining room is the gourmet chef's windowed (2) eat-in kitchen, exceptionally well appointed with top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen has expansive countertops, a breakfast bar, and lots of custom cabinetry and storage, making it the perfect room for cooking, gathering and hanging out. The primary bedroom (currently used as a library) is afforded the same natural light and views as the living room.
