Description

Apartment 12AB is a newly renovated exquisite five-bedroom residence designed by Abelow Sherman Architects situated on the top floor of an intimate prewar condominium. This 11 into 9-room light-filled home spans over 3,300 square feet and offers stunning sunlight and views in all four directions. The ceiling heights range from 9 feet 6 inches to almost 10 feet. There is a two-zone central air-conditioning system.

The proper entrance foyer invites one into a dramatic 20-foot gallery that leads into the library and main entertaining rooms. This thoughtfully designed layout includes a library and a luxurious rift white oak-paneled den, complete with a powder room. The expansive south-facing living room is a true highlight, adorned with oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in sunlight from morning until evening. With its generous dimensions of 36' x 16', this voluminous room exudes the elegance of a parlor floor in a grand townhouse while the elevated position on the top floor ensures peace and quiet from the city below. Additional features include an EcoSmart ethanol fireplace, a discreetly built-in bar and ample space for entertainment. There is a smart home system controlling electric window shades and lighting in all rooms. All rooms enjoy brand new double-glazed thermal insulation windows.

The true chefs' kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances including a Miele dishwasher and a vented 48-inch Wolf range with six burners, griddle and double-oven. There is a large island that provides additional seating and storage, a built-in banquette, custom cabinetry and Quartzite counters. The well-appointed kitchen is further enhanced by a double wine refrigerator and an exceptionally spacious pantry.

This sprawling home features an eastern wing branching off from the main foyer which leads to four large bedrooms, each with an impressive amount of closet space. The bathrooms in this wing are renovated with finishes and fixtures of the highest quality. Nestled on the opposite side of the apartment there is a 600-square-foot primary suite offering a secluded and tranquil retreat. Within, there is an unusually large separate walk-in closet area and a windowed office. The enormous all Calacatta Oro marble spa-like bathroom with double sink features a soaking tub and oversized stand-up rain shower.

The Admaston is an Upper West Side prewar gem built in 1910 with 72 units. This full-service doorman condominium features a landscaped roof garden with sweeping city views and a grand marble lobby, rich with prewar details. There is a bike room and private storage within. Pets are welcome.
