Description
Welcome to Resident Suite 1009 at The Belnord, a legendary landmark on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Attended stately wrought iron entrance and concierge station provides security and privacy for both pedestrians and automobiles to this historic landmark. A coffered archway passage with 24-hour concierge booth transports one to the centerpiece of the building - an interior garden surrounded by a brick-paved driveway to provide easy access to the resident entrances serving the building. The garden provides a tranquil sanctuary for residents with a statuesque fountain and abundant seating along the landscaped pathways.

Introduced by an impressive and expansive gallery this space is destined to showcase favorite pieces of art. There is an immense custom front hall closet and glass paneled French doors leading to the sleeping wing of the home.
Brilliant light through four extraordinary oversized windows adorned with decorative outside ironwork illuminate the grand and dramatic corner living and dining room. A 9' 10" ceiling height, Nordic finish white oak chevron hardwood floors, intricate and pristinely restored plaster moldings, custom fabric remote window treatments and the seamless integration
of finishes, color palette and thoughtful placement of elegantly modern light fixtures capture an uplifting yet calming ambiance.
