Property Description
Move right into this gut-renovated mint-condition residence with 1,000 square feet of open entertaining space, 3 bedrooms, an office/den and 3 ½ bathrooms.
A grand foyer opens into the massive entertaining space, which boasts 35 feet of wall-to-wall windows, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and an expansive living and dining room ideal for receptions, cocktail parties and family gatherings.
The chef’s kitchen features a huge island with a hidden pull-out table that seats four. All of the appliances are high-end luxury, including oversized Thermador refrigerator and freezer columns, a 92-bottle wine cooler, a beverage refrigerator, two dishwashers, two sinks, two ovens, a built-in Miele coffee machine, and a professional 6-burner stove. There is a walk-in pantry and abundant cabinet and counter space.
Off the entrance foyer is a windowed laundry room and a windowed guest powder room. At the end of the foyer is the family wing consisting of 3 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, as well as a large office/den. All four rooms have wall-to-wall south-facing windows and open city views. The 17’x23’ Primary Bedroom Suite features two walk-in closets, a built-in desk/cabinetry, and a private entrance from the elevator hallway.
Storage space is plentiful, with multiple customized closets and built-in shelving. There is new hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, automatic window blinds, a Sonos speaker system, and high speed Wi-Fi wiring/cable. The apartment is available furnished if desired for an additional fee.
