Description
Classic prewar elegance and grandeur characterize this magnificent 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, located in a white glove cooperative in Carnegie Hill. This remarkable property boasts 50 feet of direct Central Park views and showcases impeccably crafted interiors.
A meticulous renovation has transformed this space into a haven for entertaining. The foyer flows into a gracious 35-foot entrance gallery, which provides access to three bedrooms, the extraordinary great room, and a chef's kitchen.
The generously proportioned living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bookshelves framing park-facing windows, seamlessly flows into the adjacent dining area.
Just off the dining room is a windowed eat-in chef's kitchen. Details include coffered ceilings, custom cabinetry, sleek countertops, decorative tile backsplashes, and top-of-the-line appliances. Abundant pantry storage, a conveniently appointed service entrance, and an adjoining laundry room with vented washer and dryer further enhance this remarkable residence.
All three bedrooms overlook Central Park's lush greenery, allowing you to enjoy the ever-changing seasonal scenery. The primary bedroom boasts a custom-outfitted walk-in closet, two additional closets, and a deluxe spa-inspired ensuite bath with dual vanities and an expansive steam shower with a marble backdrop behind glass. The second bedroom is graciously proportioned and has a large closet. The third bedroom is adaptable to your needs - whether to be used as a bedroom or a library. The windowed second bathroom is accessed from the bedroom hall and is complete with a tub/shower.
Central air, prewar moldings, custom millwork, rich hardwood floors, and high ceilings complete this fabulous home.
