Description

Aristocratic Pre-War eight room home with breathtaking Central Park views exquisitely designed by one of NY’s premier architects, John B. Murray, with the collaboration of Cullman & Kravis Associates, a firm synonymous with elegance and refinement. Rebuilt from floor to ceiling and from beam to beam, this beautiful, move-in ready, ingeniously imagined residence boasts 9’ high ceilings and gracious living space. There are full or side park views from all major rooms.

No expense was spared in creating this four bedroom, four bath home with a brand new three zone quiet central air conditioning system

You are welcomed home into a marble entry and commodious gallery, while the gracious living room with its baby grand piano is the perfect place for friends and family to gather. There is ample wall space for the display of your curated art collection and the fireside walnut paneled library highlights the meticulous craftsmanship found throughout. You will
enjoy the walnut floors that have been beautifully installed and maintained, along with the luxurious Nanz hardware that serves as jewelry for the walls and doors.

A Crestron entertainment system, built-in audio, custom lighting and humidification, and HEPA air filtration systems are in place. There is redundant CAT 5e cabling in every room, along with Verizon Fios internet and Lutron motorized solar and blackout shades. The semi-open chef’s kitchen designed with and for a professionally-trained chef is exceptional.

With room
for informal dining, a Sub-Zero wine cellar and a coffee bar, it opens to the main portion of the kitchen with a 48" Wolf Professional Range with a grill and French Cooktop, a Miele dishwasher, two sinks, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, and four Sub-Zero freezer drawers.

The gallery/dining room is flexible and spacious with room to comfortably seat 10 - 14 people. Three of the four bedrooms enjoy direct views of Central Park and include ensuite bathrooms, complete with Barber Wilsons bath fixtures, basket-weave mosaic floors, and Toto toilets. The corner venetian-plastered primary bedroom includes a wonderful dressing room hallway that leads from the primary bedroom to bedrooms two and three.

The fourth bedroom works well as a guest room or home office, and the fourth full bathroom
functions as an elegant powder room adjacent to the living room, while also providing a separate and private guest space. There is a full-sized, well-located Miele washer-dryer, ample linen closet, and well-conceived storage throughout the home. You will immediately appreciate the unmatched quality of the woodwork and finishes as you imagine yourself in this extraordinary space.
