59 W 71ST Street #5B

Located steps from Central Park, this classic six room apartment was brilliantly transformed by a top award winning design team into an elegant and comfortable modern three-bedroom home. Designed to maximize space, scale and light, the home has distinct formal entertaining and living spaces, abundant custom-fitted closets and storage, a separate private bedroom wing, as well as idyllic brownstone and tree-top views facing south.

In the center of any modern home is the kitchen and this home's is one of New York's finest. The original kitchen and maid's room were combined, creating a sensational gourmet eat-in kitchen which includes custom cabinetry with fitted inlays, gorgeous white tile backsplashes, white Calcutta marble countertops, endless counter space, a breakfast bar design, and a built-in wall of closets and shelving offering a huge pantry and an area to tuck away appliances, a Miele washer/ dryer and a home office/desk area. The premium appliance package includes a Wolf burner gas range with 4 burners, a 36" Sub-Zero over and under Fridge/Freezer and a Miele 24" dishwasher with custom integrated paneling. The east facing windows, adjacent to the built-in banquet, receive beautiful morning light.

Modern luxuries include new oak hardwood floors, custom built-in bookshelves and cabinetry in the living room, dual walk-in closets in the master bedroom, two exquisitely renovated windowed bathrooms with Waterworks plumbing and fixtures, a 60" Zuma tub, and even sound proof sub-flooring. This 1928 prewar building is perfectly located mid-block on 71st Street between Central Park West and Columbus, is 10 stories with 39 units, and has a live-in superintendent. Storage units and bicycle storage are available in the basement. Pets are welcome. This listing is a co-exclusive.
