architect renovated home with panoramic views
This architect renovated home with panoramic open city skyline views and private terrace is truly not to be missed!! Custom details, quality craftsmanship, and high end finishes abound in this beautiful combination with expansive living on two floors! Outside corner location on high floor means open exposures with dramatic views from every window and excellent light. Gracious and peaceful entry on the 17th floor with 8"10" ceilings, custom built-ins, and wide plank white oak floors in pale grey. The foyer then broadens to an open living/dining with a wall of southwest facing windows and light-filled unobstructed downtown views. A glass door at the far end delivers you to an enclosed balcony with oversized wrap around windows & exposed brick - perfect for a home office (current use), sunroom and/or a reading room. The Leicht Architectural Kitchen from Germany is in a word - stunning! Opened to the living area, sleek and modern while highly functional, it provides both excellent storage as well as prep space, and a suite of Bosch Benchmark appliances with Franke stainless sink & fixtures. Two bedrooms and a bath and a half complete the 17th floor layout. The primary bedroom is very nicely proportioned, can accommodate a king or queen bed, and includes a large walk-in from California Closet. The adjacent full bath has been expanded and is outfitted in lovely designer mosaic & ceramic tiling with a custom glass enclosed rain style shower with separate hand held, a Duravit vanity with Duravit sink, Toto Toilet, and Grohe faucets. The smaller bedroom includes an en suite half bath with Duravit vanity/sink, Grohe fixtures, and a Villeroy and Bosch toilet. And now it is time to ascend to the second floor where you will find an open and airy great room with an entire wall of windows opening to an almost 300 sq ft terrace with panoramic 180 degree views from the East River to the Empire State Building! Entertain in grand style, serve drinks and hors d'oeuvres from a second kitchenette/bar area, and venture outside to dine al fresco and take in the dramatic sunsets! The terrace can easily accommodate a full dining set up as well as separate seating/lounging area and has electric and plumbing for evening entertaining and gardening. Another large main bedroom with walk-in closet can be found on the 18th along with an expanded full bath featuring a Duravit Deep Soaking tub with Grohe fixtures - rain and handheld, Duravit vanity - and a Toto toilet.
