A welcoming entry foyer opens into the expansive great room. The commodious living area features custom built in bookshelves and media console, integrated Bose speakers, and a built-in china cabinet. Light pours into the south facing space through 11 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass and a sliding door that seamlessly connects the interior to the remarkable terrace that stretches a generous 25 feet in length and six feet in width. The landscaped terrace is graced with brand new pavers and waterproofing, new glass railings, and a built-in irrigation system. A large dining area features a west facing window and adjacency to the semi-open impressive chef's kitchen. The suite of high-end stainless steel appliances includes a Bertazzoni four-burner gas range, a 30” Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, integrated GE microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Marvel wine refrigerator. The space is illuminated by integrated track lighting and natural light from the west-facing window, and is further elevated by a tasteful glass subway tile backsplash, Caesarstone counters, and solid maple wood lacquered cabinetry.
A gallery hallway punctuated by recessed lighting leads to the two luxurious bedrooms. The primary bedroom is gracious in size and boasts a massive walk-in closet measuring 5’ x 10’ with custom built-in cabinetry, a serene planting terrace, and both north and west exposures, offering unparalleled views of the architecturally interesting penthouses and cornices of the historic pre war buildings across this tranquil stretch of 57th Street. The en-suite windowed bathroom is a spa-like oasis, featuring a glass-enclosed shower, glass tiles, and radiant heat floors. The secondary bedroom offers those same lovely northern views across 57th Street and tangential views of the Queensboro Bridge and East River, as well as ample storage with a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The adjacent second bathroom is equally impressive, featuring glass tiles, a floating vanity, a deep soaking tub with half-glass enclosure, Grohe fixtures, and additional storage/linen closet.
Other noteworthy features of this stately home include European oak herringbone hardwood floors and beautiful crown moldings throughout, all contributing to its exquisite and sophisticated character. Every room is equipped with PTAC heating and air conditioning units.
