MUSEUM TOWER MASTERPIECE
This exquisite four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom 2,930-square-foot residence has been meticulously renovated using only the finest materials and finishes. With brilliant southern and eastern exposures, it is surrounded by spectacular open city views.Two custom walnut entrance doors open into a spacious hallway featuring a concealed coat closet and an elegant powder room. At the end of the hallway lies a formal gallery on the right.
The gallery seamlessly transitions into an expansive dining and living area complemented by an open kitchen at one end and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows at the other, offering a stunning double exposure south and east stretching as far as the East River. A fireplace, surrounded by a Haisa marble and Venetian plaster hearth, has built-in seating for two. The opposite wall has custom shelving and cabinetry crafted from book-matched quartered Wenge wood.
The state-of-the-art Eggersman kitchen is equipped with abundant cabinetry, maintenance-free Silestone countertops and backsplash, an island with a dropped counter for seating, and top-of-the-line Miele and Wolfe appliances.
To the right of the entrance, a hallway leads to the master bedroom and an adjacent bedroom, which can serve as part of a master suite or a separate bedroom. Both bedrooms enjoy the same expansive southern exposure as the living area. The master suite features a dressing area flanked by two custom closets and built-in shelving. Both master bathrooms have custom vanities made of East Indian Laurel wood, travertine tiled floors and walls, and Crema Marfil marble showers and seats.
A third bedroom sits adjacent to the living room and has another open southern exposure. It features a dressing room and a walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The ensuite bath walls and floor are tiled in Thassos marble.
The fourth bedroom, accessible from the main entry hall, faces east and is clad with concealed closets with built-in shelving. An ensuite bathroom features a custom East Indian Rosewood vanity and Thassos marble floor and walls.
