Description:

ARCHITECTURAL JEWEL A stately, architectural gem with Empire State Building views is available for the first time by its architect/owner. Completely renovated, the tranquil, 800-square-foot, one-bed, one-bath haven with a sunken living room and capacious terrace boasts custom features that make it a one-of-a-kind, must-see property. With 24-hour doorman service, it resides in one of Murray Hill's finest pre-war coop buildings on a serene, tree-lined street just off Park Avenue. Drenched in natural light thanks to southern and western exposures, the home offers unprecedented, abundant closets and storage, all gracefully incorporated into its meticulously curated interior. The living room boasts original parquet floors, 2 large windows and a custom, cherry-wood radiator cover inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The kitchen shines with new stainless steel appliances and dishwasher, a blue pearl granite counter-top, floor-to-ceiling cherry wood cabinets and a full-sized window; framing it is a beautiful, wood-ensconced bar flanked by rounded glass curios. Just off the living room, a 100-foot terrace (large enough for a table and chairs, and perfect for cocktails) encompasses a view that embraces highlights of Manhattan's Art Deco skyline. The hallway to the bedroom incorporates sleek, tailored cabinets, perfect for books, photos and artwork. Sizable and bright, the bedroom features 3 large windows, 2 French-style, double-doored closets and a built-in media center with drawers and a pull-out shelf. With classic penny round mosaic tiles, Kohler fixtures, and an award-winning Speakman shower-head, the bathroom combines the best of history and modernity. Perhaps the piece de resistance is the exclusive home office: with ingenious design detail inspired by yacht cabinetry, it is fitted out completely in cherry wood with Chinese paneled doors that close to create a unique, private work-space. A 5-minute walk to Grand Central Station and the United Nations, the 4,5,6,7 and S subways as well as Metro North trains, this apartment is perfect for commuters or any New Yorker who wants to be in the middle of it all. You will also enjoy the convenience of great neighboring food markets like Trader Joe's and Fairway. The building has a live-in superintendent, a charming roof garden, and is pet-friendly. Such extraordinary and exceptional details make this apartment a real find. Call to make an appointment.
