Description

Welcome to apartment 9C in the Butterfield House, a high-floor much sought-after “C” line providing open city views to the north and south coupled with a truly mint, high-end architectural design and renovation. The quality of the workmanship in this residence is unparalleled. The gracious foyer leads to the expansive combined living and dining room that stretches from north to south providing beautiful sun and natural light throughout the day through new floor-to-ceiling windows.

The reimagined space offers a loft-like setting incorporating beautiful design, architectural elements, and the perfect flow for modern luxurious living and entertaining. The living room is grand in scale with a huge picture window offering tremendous southern sun all day long. Access your private terrace from the living room to enjoy stunning open views overlooking this serene, tranquil, and landmarked building gardens along with the beautiful pre-war buildings lining lower Fifth Avenue.

The windowed chef’s kitchen is opened to the dining room and living room completing the open-concept floor plan that fits a more contemporary lifestyle. Enjoy open views to the north from both the kitchen and the dining room. The kitchen features a handsome quartzite-clad waterfall island which accommodates separate casual dining.

There is also an abundance of solid wood, high-end cabinetry, and a built-in television to watch your favorite cooking shows while creating your own culinary masterpieces. Only the best appliances top off this dream kitchen including a large SubZero fridge and double freezer plus two additional beverage drawers, a Miele convection oven and 5 burner cooktop, and a Bosch dishwasher. The separate bedroom wing features two large suites with sunny open-sky exposures. The luxurious primary bedroom boasts twin custom-built closets and a large fully outfitted walk-in closet.

The spa-like en-suite bath is adorned in imported stone. There is a custom vanity, medicine chest, and a walk-in rain shower. Only the highest quality finishes and fixtures were used to complete this masterpiece of a bath. The generously proportioned second bedroom features sunny southern exposures and a fully outfitted oversized closet.

This room is large enough to use as both a home office and guest room if desired. The second full bath is also adorned with glorious, imported stone, a custom vanity, and a deep soaking tub. The architectural team who created this masterpiece included all the best finishing touches required in a luxury residence including brand new solid oak herringbone floors, central AC, and new windows with custom electronic blinds in every room. There is recessed lighting and art lighting in all the right places, a vast amount of custom closet space, a fully integrated Sonos AV system throughout the residence with built-in control pads along with smart home features allowing you to control everything from anywhere on your phone. The Butterfield House is a uniquely landmarked mid-century modern building and is considered to be one of the most important and beautiful post-World War II apartment houses in New York City.

Built in 1962 by Architects Mayer, Whittlesey and Glass, residents of this pet-friendly, white glove cooperative enjoy an architecturally significant garden and lobby, a resident manager, a full-time doorman, a deeply discounted on-site garage, state of the art fitness facility, a bike room, separate storage, and a central laundry room.
