Description
From the private elevator vestibule, enter the gracious foyer and marvel at the elegantly curved staircase,...Welcome to 12A at 322 East 57th, an extraordinary 4 Bedroom/ 3 Bath duplex, impeccably renovated and a true masterpiece! Originally designed by Joseph Urban, this home was formerly the residence of Senator Jacob Javits and his wife Marion. The architecturally detailed space, conceived by the current owner and Sandra Arndt of Studio AKTE exemplifies a historic home reinvented to modern perfection.
From the private elevator vestibule, enter the gracious foyer and marvel at the elegantly curved staircase, and a charming hidden built-in wet bar. An oversized great room features 18’ ceilings, a wood burning fireplace with an original stone mantle, double height restored wrought-iron casement windows, vintage restored wide floorboards and a luxuriance of wall space ideal for displaying a world class art collection. This jaw-dropping space is amplified by two circular infinity mirrors facing each other across the massive great room, forever reflecting light and space.
The seamless flow continues to the once infamous “cigar room” of Senator Javits, now a media room lacquered in lush gray. Unwind in the stylish velvet banquettes, accented by the oversized south facing picture window. Efficiently tucked to the side is a separate office with a custom built-in desk and ample cabinetry for storage.
Ascend the striking staircase with the original 1930’s translucent Bakelite and brass banister to the upper level, with a dramatic bird's eye view of the living space enclosed by the original Art Deco balustrade. Entertain in the generous sized dining area, perfect for large gatherings.
The windowed-eat in kitchen is conveniently located off the dining area, characterized by its tailored jet black cabinetry, thick 4 inch slabs of honed Olympia white marble and top of the line appliances including an integrated Subzero, two dishwashers and an induction stove. The open shelves allow beautiful stemware to be on display.
A discreet hallway leads to the private bedroom wing with ample art walls, subtle lighting and cleverly placed niches for books and objet d’art. Referred to as the “Nan Goldin Bathroom” after the art, this glamorous full bath with shower features Bisazza mosaic tile and high-gloss Hague blue, conveniently doubling as a guest bath and powder room
Tucked away as a private sanctuary, the spacious bright corner primary suite has extensive closets worthy of the most elite fashion collections. The smartly recessed projector with retractable screen allows one to watch movies while lounging in bed. The windowed primary bath displays an unmatched level of luxury with its distinctive hand selected Breccia Carpial marble slabs, a large free-standing oval tub and glass shower and double vanity in Prussian blue. Additionally, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms with custom millwork and a beautiful shared windowed bath inspired by the classic baths of the Claridges Hotel in London. This home also has new central AC thru-out, a water filtration system plus a separate laundry room with a utility sink. A conveniently located service entrance can be utilized by the staff to assist with all service needs.
The impressive past of this fabled residence is only rivaled by its current incarnation! Supremely elegant, this duplex offers the very best of New York grandeur.
