Description

Luxurious living is on full display in the heart of the Upper West Side, in a brand new impeccably-renovated townhouse minutes from Central Park, Riverside Park & all neighborhood amenities. Conceived with utmost attention to detail by award-winning architect Ben Jeon along with international designer Catherine Belove Studio, this gem is replete with the finest finishes. Modern interiors exude elegance with beautiful wood floors, tasteful crown & picture moldings, chic ambient lighting & premium materials throughout. State-of-the-art features further enhance the comfort, including a hydraulic elevator to all 5 floors, a seamless smart-home control system & 10-zone heating/AC. Heightening the allure is abundant private outdoor space, comprised of a generous backyard garden, multiple terraces & a fabulous roof deck with awesome views. The garden level, accessed by interior stairs & a separate street entrance, opens to a lovely rear patio & 475 sq ft south-facing landscaped garden, perfect for entertaining, with a BBQ kitchen, trellis & wood wall backdrop accented by lush green hedging. Or lounge indoors in the spacious 25+ ft living/media room with a wet bar for wine & beverages. Completing this level is a full bath, laundry room with full-size w/D & sink, storage room & abundant closets. Beyond the main front doors awaits the airy parlor level that dazzles with soaring 11 ft ceilings & a gracious open layout. Relax with a coffee or cocktail in the living room, then invite guests to enjoy a meal in the dining area overlooking the peaceful garden. Sliding glass doors lead out to a terrace, with stairs descending to the garden. The top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen styled with custom cabinetry, a huge marble waterfall island, matching marble backsplash, and professional appliances by Wolf, Thermador & Miele inspires culinary creations. Rising to the sleeping quarters is a sleek wood staircase with glass panels. Level three is reserved for the divine primary retreat presenting a bedroom with private terrace, makeup area & sizable walk-in dressing closet. In the hall is another huge custom-outfitted walk-in dressing closet, and a phenomenal marble-clad spa bath with an elongated vanity, freestanding soaking tub & oversized glass-enclosed shower.
