CENTRAL PARK BLOCK - BIG, RENOVATED, XXX MINT, MOVE-IN HEAD-TURNER


DESIGNER DREAM HOME ON THE TREE-LINE BY CENTRAL PARK


Once in a rare while, a truly exceptional home graces these pages, turning heads and melting hearts. This is that home.


Lovingly renovated from top to bottom and side to side, everything inside of this luxurious residence has been reinvented, re-crafted, and renewed. From new copper plumbing to an entirely new electrical system, from new floors to new ceilings, from big new rooms (with supreme closet space) to an expansive new layout (capturing every possible inch of living and storage areas) -- nothing was overlooked in this fresh and masterful creation. This sprawling, smartly planned, supremely proportioned, Central Park-block home -- with its cheerful and elegant tree-line and architectural views -- elevates stylish pre-war living to an entirely new level. Here, good form melds with function, and a standout, gorgeous residence is the beautiful result.


The stone entrance foyer gives way to an elegant gallery hall that guides you to the gracious, living room -- a well-scaled room on the treetops. Made for entertaining and comfortable living, this sizable space offers two big windows with leafy architectural views, a wine bar, and -- like the rest of this heroic home -- high, beamed ceilings, handsome hardwood floors, an integrated sound and lighting system, and a refined, elegant, comfortable finish level. With a prime position by the open, eat-in, trophy chef's kitchen -- which bridges to the large, full dining room -- this is the soulful core of this one-of-a-kind home. The inspiring scale and elegant flow among the big living room, the foyer/gallery, the stellar cook's kitchen, and the handsome dining room create a winning combination -- ideal for stretch-out lounging, easy relaxing, and comfortable entertaining.


The over-scaled kitchen comes with bragging rights. With a big, West-facing window, generous custom cabinetry, stunning and sturdy quartzite counters, a dining bar, a Wolf six-burner stove, Thermador fridge, Miele dishwasher, a hidden appliance garage, a deep sink, premium designer fixtures, and a bonus, mega-scaled, versatile, walk-in storage pantry, culinary magic can happen here.


The adjacent dining room is a flexible, dramatic space boasting an over-scaled window, and -- like the rest of this rare residence -- offers wonderful wall space for art. With a bonus banquette seating area and extra wine storage -- not to mention a perfect position by the trophy kitchen -- the dining room is well suited for making every day feel like a holiday.


Quite separate from the entertaining rooms, and down a graceful residential hallway (with washer and dryer) is the bedroom wing. The peaceful primary bedroom suite is well-scaled, offers two big windows onto the treetops, impressive designer closets (one's a walk-in!), lovely built-ins, and a full en suite, marble windowed designer bath with step-in shower, custom vanity, and premium fixtures.


Both guest bedrooms are large and flexible, with custom designer closets. The front guest bedroom faces the treetops and offers easy access to the living room -- making it an ideal, flex office/den. Served by the full marble bath on the hall, the versatility here makes this a sweet suite. The back guest bedroom suite is a wonderful surprise. Big, quiet, and versatile, this big bedroom offers a hidden, built-out, walk-in closet, a custom, integrated wall bed, dual windows, an fantastic, full, en suite bath, and the ability to double as a home gym, office, or den.
