You'll appreciate that this is the rare, top-shelf, designer residence whose perfect positioning in its handsome building affords it a major victory that homes below it do not enjoy. This winsome residence clears the buildings around it, allowing for three open, sun-filled exposures - dramatic city vistas North and West, and a sunny bonus peek to the South. Recently the beneficiary of a soup-to-nuts, floor-to-ceiling, major renovation designed by noted architect John Springer, here is your resplendent residence boasting new plumbing, new electric, new floors and walls - and so much more. Although its pre-war character and scale have been painstakingly preserved and honored, every single detail - from the strike plates to the door knobs, from the hinges to the solid White Oak floors, from the skim coated walls to the plaster moldings (by Peter Laczko of Laczko Studio), and from the Bosch washer to its vented dryer - has been made fresher and better - all with a level of quality and refinement rarely seen in a pre-war cooperative. When you walk through the front door, you are welcomed by an attractive foyer - a practical space that unfolds into a lovely, bright dining gallery. This sunshiny room smartly bridges the large living room (lofty with two big Southerly windows and compelling vista) with the big, wide, elegant custom cook's kitchen - a trophy, windowed, designer affair with ample Basalt counters and tailored cabinetry, Calacutta marble backsplash by Waterworks, a Kohler farm sink, a 6-burner Wolf range with vented hood, and other premium appliances by Kitchen Aid. The comfortable scale and flow among the sun-filled, big living room, the open dining gallery, and the stellar kitchen create a winning trifecta that is ideal for lounging, relaxing, and entertaining. The bedroom wing is quite separate from the other rooms - giving this elegant, classic home an enviable layout. The peaceful primary bedroom is well-scaled, offers bright and open views North and West, a wall of ample custom closets, and a full en suite, windowed marble bath - a spa-like space with step-in shower and custom vanity - all designed top to bottom by Waterworks. The guest bedroom is large and flexible, with custom closets, open views to the North, and is served by a marble, windowed Waterworks guest bath with soaking tub. This stunning residence boasts high ceilings, good closet space and so much more - all in a location that comes with bragging rights. This custom home is right beside Central Park, and close to most every Upper Westside cultural, dining, and shopping destination - not to mention a plethora of convenient transportation options. Ideally positioned in a pet-friendly building with live-in superintendent, and laundry/bike/storage rooms, this is the home for which you've been wishing. Well, wish no more. Your life just got richer.
