Description

Melding art-deco pizazz with modern living, #12H pulls off the impossible – fusing the best of yesterday with the demands of today. This stunning 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence with a home office is the perfect layout that you have been seeking. #12H allows for a true home office setup without compromising a bedroom or living room. The residence is oversized at 1,851 square feet and feels more expansive due to the 11 foot ceilings. The open kitchen has been handcrafted by Smallbone of Devizes.

It is complete with European oak cabinetry, polished concrete countertops and appliances by Miele. The kitchen overlooks the enormous living and dining room. The scale of the living room is extraordinary, allowing for multiple configurations. The walls here are perfect for displaying large art.

Each room has huge tilt-and-turn windows which flood the apartment with natural light. The primary bedroom is perched on a corner and has two exposures, north and west. It is both spacious and functional with a large walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom is complete with radiant heated floors, a steam shower, cast iron soaking tub and Black Zeus marble floor in a chevron mosaic pattern. The second bedroom features a large closet, northern views, and an en-suite bath.

There is a custom walnut vanity with a unique blackened steel mirror and custom marble mosaic flooring. The powder room is striking with a bespoke metal vanity cabinet, sugar white marble vanity counter and polished limestone herringbone mosaic flooring. Stella Tower was originally designed by the renowned architect Ralph Walker in 1927. Its interiors have been radically reimagined from a telephone operating facility to a 51 unit luxury condominium residences. The façade of Stella Tower remains as stunning today as when it was first constructed.

Built as an exemplar to Art-Deco design, its brick masonry, setbacks and detail make shine architecturally. The building amenities include 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, residents lounge with pantry and bar, and an outdoor garden.
