PERFECTLY SITUATED OFF PARK AVENUE ON ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TREE-LINED BLOCKS ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE SITS AN OASIS OF PEACE AND A GEM OF URBAN LIVING WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.
THE CAPTIVATING TOWNHOUSE IS ON THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT UNDERWENT A TWO-AND-HALF YEAR, MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR GUT RENOVATION RECENTLY. THE SUN-LIT RESIDENCE HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY RESOTRED AND ITS RECENT MONUMENTAL TRANSFORMATION BRINGS OPEN DOWNTOWN LOFT-LIVING TO A MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSE LOCATED IN THE PRESTIGIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE UPPER EAST SIDE TWO BLOCKS FROM CENTRAL PARK. NO DETAIL HAS BEEN SPARED IN RECREATING THIS IMPECCABLE HOME OF LUXURY THAT FEATURES CALACATTA MARBLE WALLS, WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES, WHITE OAK FLOORS AND FINISHES, ITALIAN FITTINGS, SKYLIGHTS, AND A LIVING GREEN WALL.
PAYING HOMAGE TO THE MINIMALIST AESTHETIC OF MIES VAN DER ROHE, PHILIP JOHNSON AND JOHN PAWSON, THIS HISTORIC HOUSE IS STRIKING IN SYMMETRY AND TIMELESS IN DESIGN. THE SUN-LIT INTERIORS ARE SPACIOUS AND THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED WITH MANY SOCIAL SPACES FOR LIVING, DINING, RELAXING, PLAYING AND WORKING. THIS SOUTH-FACING HOME IS FLOODED WITH ABUNDANT NATURAL LIGHT. EACH FLOOR CONSISTS OF UNINTERRUPTED LIVING SPACES SEPERATED BY FLOOR-TO-CIELING GLASS DOORS FROM VARENNA POLIFORM. FOUR FLOORS OF THIS SIX-STORIED HOUSE ARE FLANKED BY SIX WORKING FIREPLACES, SOME OF WHICH ARE EUROPEAN PERIOD PIECES THAT HAVE BEEN PAINSTAKINGLY RESTORED. THE OUTDOOR SPACES ARE GENEROUS IN SIZE, BOASTING VIEWS OF THE MANHATTAN SKYLINE AND GREENERY.
