This home boasts sun-drenched views of the Museum of Natural History, the Rose Planetarium, and the expanse of Central Park, culminating in a breathtaking panorama of the Midtown skyline. A superb mix of modern renovations and meticulously restored features from the original design by Emery Roth creates the perfect harmony for this residence. As you enter, a grand 24-foot gallery welcomes you, connecting the spacious living room to the expansive great room. The living room a generous 17-by-27-foot space offers an unmatched backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. It provides abundant space for multiple furniture arrangements and features comfy window seats for a front-row view of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and balloon inflation night, as Thanksgiving Eve is known on this block. The living room is also adorned with a wall of high-end, custom-built cabinetry and storage. The renovated open kitchen extends into what was once the formal dining room, creating the much sought-after open floor plan for modern and comfortable living. Measuring over 15 by 18 feet, the dining area is a haven for entertainers, complete with an oversized window that invites abundant natural light. Across from the picture window is a wall of handsome, solid wood built-in cabinetry and storage, along with a home office discreetly tucked away behind flush custom doors. Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive eat-in kitchen, which includes a sunny courtyard view, abundant floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, an expansive island with comfortable seating for casual meals and socializing, and a suite of high-end appliances including a large side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator, a six-burner Viking range with a vented hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and a wine fridge. A conveniently located powder room, separate wine room, and laundry area complete this section of the residence. The separate bedroom wing houses a palatial 14-by-24-foot primary suite with a dressing room lined with custom closets leading to a truly massive walk-in closet, and an en suite bath showcasing impeccably preserved Emery Roth tiling, a luxurious deep cast-iron soaking tub, and a separate shower stall. The suite shares the same awe-inspiring views of the Museum, Planetarium, and Central Park. The generous second bedroom extends 20 feet toward the same lovely southern exposures and views, and features a perfectly restored Emery Roth bath and a massive walk-in closet. A tranquil third bedroom presents a peaceful courtyard view, ample closet space, and a personal en suite bath adorned with timeless tiling and fixtures.
