Description

AVAILABLE 01/01/2023.

Bound to exceed your wildest expectations is this trophy polished gem that's bombarded with STYLE & BEAUTY! A magnificent PARISIAN LOFT PENTHOUSE in an intimate ELEVATOR Townhouse at a dream LOCATION. There's simply no better way to start the NEW YEAR.

THE BUILDING - On THE best block of coveted Lenox Hill in the Upper East Side is this distinctive ELEVATOR Townhouse. A real Architectural treasure with Robust Beaux Arts carvings such as decorative over-spilling cornacopiae and a massive stone balustrade which protects the Penthouse mansard roof with French ironwork that decorates the Juliet balcony
Conveniently there is also a Laundry room, a live-in superintendent and its located just one short block from CENTRAL PARK, on 68th Street between MADISON & PARK AVENUE.

THE APARTMENT - With immediate wow factor, this top-floor PENTHOUSE is a One-Of-A-Kind New York City MASTERPIECE! They just don't make them this flawless anymore like they did in the early 19th Century.

As you open the door you'll FEEL the difference! The spectacular 13 FEET CEILING height is a true jaw-dropper, as the entire space feels like you're in the biggest room of the best art exhibition you've ever visited.

THE SPECIAL DETAILS - Solid natural walnut wood WAINSCOTING moldings throughout, accompanied by eight dimmable wall SCONCE lamps and a chandelier to enhance your largest art pieces.

An impressive alcoved Juliet Balcony with Arched glass WINDOW-DOORS that are split to four and enhanced with wood moldings frames and customised window shutters doors and a large inviting Solid Wood bench with deep hidden storage overlooking the interior. Each cornered area of the main room has an additional alcoved area to maximise and emphasize each space.

SIX CLOSETS including three massive closets with 7 feet solid wood doors at the corners of the main room, Each with Four Double-Hip Raised wood Panels and a decorative Dentil Shelf at each end.

THE KITCHEN - Fully renovated EAT-IN-KITCHEN, Sun-drenched with a SKYLIGHT, Stainless Steel Appliances, Black tile floors, plenty of modern and Glossy White Cabinets, white subway tiles backsplash and a very wide and deep CRAWL-IN-CLOSET that just like the storage bench, can store so many things that needs to be hidden.

THE BATHROOM - Enhanced with exquisite Arabescato Corchia Marble, sourced from the northernmost tip of modern-day Tuscany, Italy. Many people have travelled to Tuscany and admired what they thought were snow-capped mountains in the distance only to later realize that it is the Carrara Marble quarries. Arabescato Marble is distinguished by its dramatic dark grey veining formed in a chain-link pattern, contrasting a bright white background and making a bold statement.
