90 8th Avenue #9-C

Get ready to be blown away! This high-floor 2 bedroom apartment at The President is a designers delight. The space, which is currently set up as a large 1 bedroom, has been meticulously renovated by A+C Architects with an eye for modern efficiency and comfort. Upon entering, you are greeted with amazing light. The generous living room has been expanded to create a loft-like living, dining and work space. The northeastern exposures are magnificent with full views of the Manhattan skyline. Period features include original oak parquet and new herringbone flooring and beamed ceilings that make this home a true find! A galley kitchen has been transformed into a high-end chef?s dream with white-lacquer coated cabinetry, by Antonio Citterio for Arclinea. There is a built-in double-decker Miele over (and a three-tier Miele steamer), a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer under the counter, distributed into four unobtrusive drawers, as well as a 5-burner cooktop by Gaggenau and hidden Bosch dishwasher. The design yields an unexpected amount of storage space. The smoke-tinted Carrara marble countertops and backsplash were custom cut by Brooklyn?s Acme Marble Co. A narrow hallway, which makes for a perfect art wall, leads to the Master suite. The spacious bedroom has dual closets with custom shelving and two large windows with stunning open views of Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Beneath the windows, in the living room and bedrooms, is the clever built-in radiator screen and storage system topped with a Carrara ledge. The gray Carrara marble theme continues in the renovated windowed bathroom. Fixtures include a Kohler sink with shower and faucet hardware by Dornbracht and Philippe Starck Duravit toilet. The President epitomizes Park Slope luxury living and is centrally located just 1 block from Prospect Park and near Grand Army Plaza?s Saturday Green Market, Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Gardens. You?ll have a choice of the neighborhood?s top restaurants and all the amenities and shops on 7th Avenue. There is easy access to Manhattan with nearby 2/3/Q/B subway lines. The building has a wonderful Art Deco lobby, live- in super, 24 hour doorman, laundry room, storage (for a fee) and is pet-friendly.
