Ideally located on one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks between Fifth and Madison Avenues and steps to Central Park, this oversized one bedroom is a rare blend of prewar grandeur and designer sophistication. Recently renovated and expertly restored by award-winning interior designer Philip Mitchell, this stunning residence showcases timeless architectural details, including refinished herringbone hardwood floors, beamed high ceilings, and crown molding throughout, highlighting both prestige, as well as privacy. A true urban sanctuary, the apartment is exceptionally quiet and awash in natural light all day, apparent through the oversized windows in both the gracious living room, as well as in the king-size bedroom. This thoughtfully renovated apartment features a custom kitchen, replete with stainless steel appliances, Julien professional deep chef sink, custom self-closing drawers, overhead cabinetry on both sides, and marble countertops. This stunning home also boasts bespoke fluted wainscoting, a newly added home office (featuring lovely built-ins/custom shelving), upgraded closets, British-style light switches, a custom banquette, sconces, thick double wooden doors that open to the expansive bedroom, bamboo shades throughout, and through-the-wall air conditioning. The updated bathroom is finished in classic black and white marble, replete with Lefroy Brooks hardware. The apartment also includes a dedicated private storage unit.
