Every room of Residence 3B at 4 East 88th Street is a work of art. This home of an established interior designer and doctor is exactly as you’d imagine it to be, meticulous perfection that seamlessly marries old world Carnegie Hill grandeur with a thoughtful and functional renovation.
Upon opening the door you are met with a dramatic entrance - a striking coffered ceiling above, diagonally laid wide plank dark chocolate oak floors below, and lush tree lined views onto the Guggenheim and stunning townhomes in front of you. There is a wood burning fireplace with a Chesnee Limestone mantel, a scene setting Crestron lighting system highlighted by stunning custom light fixtures, and inlaid wall mirrors that give the space energy and light.
Enter the eat-in kitchen through French glass paneled doors and you are met with elegant Dior blue walls and custom cabinetry, a chic white high gloss ceiling, and Quartzite white countertops. The kitchen is so large it almost feels suburban, and of course it has it all - a built in bar with a beverage fridge, a Subzero refrigerator, Viking gas range, Miele speed oven, Franke double sink and fixtures, an under counter Reverse Osmosis water filtration system, an Asko dishwasher, and a Bosch stackable washer dryer.
Off the living room is the luxe primary bedroom suite. Step through a set of French paneled glass doors into an office with built-in lacquered cabinetry and desk complete with shelving and filing drawers - perfect for our new work-from-home culture. Behind the double wide framed wardrobe mirrors are massive his and hers walk-in closets filled with matching lacquered custom cabinetry and LED lighting.
The king size primary bedroom is a true urban oasis with custom LED cove lighting, inlaid Stark carpet, a large built-in gray oak dresser/TV cabinet, and Hunter Douglas controlled Silhouette shades. Wake up in the morning and look past the lovely treetops to the light reflecting off the most majestic architecture in all of New York City. You could compare the primary bathroom to a five star spa with radiant heated floors of mosaic Calacatta Gold marble and glass, glass tile walls, ample built-in storage cabinets, His and Hers tall mirrored Robern storage cabinets, and double vanity sinks with Smoke Stone countertop. There are both rain and hand held shower heads, and a Toto wall mounted toilet.
The second bedroom is currently configured as a media room with extensive built-in bookshelves and storage, and Stark inlaid carpet. The room is spacious and could easily fit a king size bed. The en-suite bathroom features a Kalista deep soaking tub, Brizo bronze and polished nickel fixtures, a Toto wall mounted toilet, a custom sink vanity with a White Thassos countertop, Calacatta Gold marble floors, a tall/deep mirrored Robern storage cabinet, and radiant heat floors.
