Description

Perfectly situated right off Fifth Avenue and Central Park, this stunning sun-drenched full floor prewar co-operative has been completely renovated by world renowned architect Tony Ingrao with the interiors beautifully decorated by leading designer Michael Rosenberg. There are four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a powder room and three wood burning fireplaces. There is a south-facing living room overlooking the beautiful tree-lined street, a handsome library finished in cerused oak, a formal dining room, a windowed eat-in kitchen, a laundry room and a staff bedroom suite. No detail has been overlooked in this beautiful home; there is central and through the wall air conditioning all on thermostats, high ceilings, mahogany doors, herringbone floors, and bespoke finishes throughout.


From the private elevator landing, a grand entrance gallery leads to a palatial living room with three oversized picture windows. Also off of the foyer are the library with custom built-ins and a bar area with a refrigerator and the elegant formal dining room. The chef's top-of-line windowed eat-in kitchen is superbly outfitted with extra-thick honed Calcutta Gold countertops and custom Poliform cabinets. There is an island with seating for four and two sinks. The appliances are all Subzero, Miele and Viking; and include two refrigerators, two refrigerator drawers, two freezer drawers, a wine refrigerator, a dishwasher, a six burner range with hood, an oven, and a microwave/convection oven. Off the kitchen is an entertainment room with a home office area with a built-in desk and bookshelves as well as four oversized storage closets. Completing the public spaces is a magnificent powder room and a large coat closet.

The bedrooms begin with an extraordinary primary suite that faces south with picturesque views. There are two custom dressing rooms finished in cerused oak; one of which was the fourth bedroom which has been made into an incredible windowed dressing room with a center island and three walls of custom hanging and built-in storage. The luxurious en-suite windowed primary bathroom is clad in slabs of onyx and has two sinks, an oversized steam shower, a separate deep soaking bathtub, a water closet and a built-in vanity area. There are two additional bedroom suites both with en-suite windowed bathrooms. There is also a separate utility area with a laundry room with a Maytag washer/dryer, a sink and linen closet as well as a staff bedroom suite with its own bathroom.

This elegant, white-glove co-operative was built in 1929 and houses only fourteen residences. Included in the sale are two storage units. The building allows 50% financing and there is a 2% flip tax.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
