DESIGNER PRE-WAR PERFECTION IN PRIME UES!
A FULL-SIZE WASHER / DRYER (vented dryer very rare) ensconced within a gut-renovated pre-war architectural gem.
This spacious (810)-SF corner (1)-bedroom + office evokes the feeling of a cottage, with views over an interior courtyard that is purely for show and your personal viewing no building or pedestrian usage.
The owners, an interior designer and an electrician, completely restored the 1929 home down to the studs, bringing the unit entirely up to City code. The space was reimagined by removing walls to create an open-concept home for entertaining, half-bridging the kitchen to the great room, with a strong focus on preserving the pre-war bones and airy feel of the 9'2' coffered ceilings.
Once inside you will immediately notice the details: a full suite of Viking appliances in the sizeable windowed eat-in chef's kitchen, large-scale classic arched doorways, simple and elegant wainscoting, Thibaut grasscloth wall coverings, hard-wired sconces in both the incredibly generous living space and bedroom, custom woven wood window treatments and white shutters, Baldwin Egg Knob handles on substantial full-wood doors (no composite), paired with Restoration Hardware fixtures throughout. A home with European sensibilities and charm.
Closets have not yet been mentioned. Just past the foyer is a surprising and vast walk-in. There is another possible walk-in near the bedroom (currently used as a home office with French doors). In the bedroom itself, there are (3) custom built-in closets with beveled mirroring installed along the full length of a wall.
The spa-like bathroom (accessible from outside of the bedroom) boasts a South-facing window, a glass-enclosed step-in shower, and radiant-heated floors covered with Carrera marble hexagon tiles. The shower and surrounding walls feature oversized beveled subway tiles.
Located on 83rd Street between Lexington and 3rd Avenues, in an impeccably maintained full-service Bing & Bing building, the home is on a beautiful and quiet side street, with a canopy of lush trees lining the block. Book-ending the street are grocery stores just on the other side of the avenues. The building is also equidistant to both the 4/5/6 and Q trains. A (3)-block stroll will drop you directly at the front door of The Met and Central Park. This is gracious and tranquil living.
