Built in 1910 by prolific architect Gilbert A. Schellenger, the residence was painstakingly renovated to maintain its original pre-war details while including modern amenities and conveniences. Moments from Central Park, this 20’ wide home boasts grandly proportioned rooms with meticulous design touches and finishes. Entering the home via the classic enclosed foyer, the elegant parlor boasts 12’ ceiling heights, two fireplaces and beautiful views onto 87th Street. A formal dining room overlooks the enclosed garden via a planting terrace and features coffered ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. An adjacent butler’s pantry leads to the kitchen on the garden level and is serviced by a dumbwaiter. A chic, discreet powder room rounds out the parlor level. The garden floor, accessible from street level, features an expansive chef’s kitchen with a top-of-the-line Miele appliance suite that is seamlessly integrated into the custom cabinetry, a Calacatta Oro marble-topped island, and abundant pantry and storage options. A sitting room, a large mud room with adjacent full bathroom and a light-filled breakfast room that flows to the enclosed, landscaped garden complete the garden level. Encompassing the entire third floor, the palatial primary suite, spans 1,350 sq.ft.
