This stunning duplex apartment with a double-height 19' living room, a library, a dining room, plus two flex rooms offers a flawless blend of grandeur and modern living. Originally crafted by the renowned Charles A. Platt in 1907, this architectural gem has been thoughtfully refreshed, bringing its rich history to life with contemporary touches.
Step into the expansive living space where 19-foot ceilings and a grand, double-height window flood the room with light. Repurposed as a sophisticated living room, the space is a testament to timeless design, anchored by an original masonry fireplace (decorative) and an air of understated elegance. Just beyond, a wood-paneled library with a second fireplace opens onto a Juliet balcony, offering captivating and landmarked views of St. Vincent Ferrer Church.
Adjacent to the library, the formal dining room is perfectly suited for both grand dinner parties and intimate gatherings. With its own Juliet balcony, it also enjoys the same scenic outlook over the neighborhood's architectural beauty and treetops. A windowed, eat-in kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, features a Traulsen wine fridge and a separate laundry area for added convenience. A marble powder room and preserved cloak room complete the main floor.
Ascend the beautifully crafted staircase to the bedroom level, which overlooks the dramatic living room below. The primary bedroom, bathed in natural southern light, boasts generous proportions, ample closets, and two large windows. Two additional south-facing bedrooms share the same captivating views. At the end of the hall, a fourth room, currently set up as an office, can easily be converted into another bedroom or den.
The apartment includes a separate ground-floor suite. This multi-purpose suite could be used for guests, staff or a private office, etc.
