A Magical Gilded Age Mansion houses this exquisite and truly mint 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom oasis in the chicest section of New York City. One is initially struck by the extraordinary 21’ ceiling and the wall of windows looking over the beautiful terraced garden. The entire duplex is renovated and designed to the highest level, with thoughtful attention to detail. The apartment features a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings, a working fireplace, a spacious dining area, and beautiful (encased) French doors leading out to the sophisticated and private walled garden, complete with outdoor lighting and sound system.
Upon entering the apartment on the 1st floor, one is instantly awed by the dramatic height and scale of the apartment as you overlook the elegant living area with its massive windows, and the view of the open living area below. The spacious primary bedroom and state of the art bathroom, with radiant heat, are also on this level — along with ample storage space, including two large walk-in closets.
As you head downstairs and enter the living area, the scale of the apartment is simply incredible. This 2 story high set of windows floods the apartment with light and makes a dramatic statement, but the quietness of the apartment and walled garden give it a sense of tranquility.
The downstairs consists of a living room with a fireplace, dining room, desk nook, wine alcove and powder room, and down a hallway you pass the state of the art kitchen as you enter the second bedroom/den, with a full bath and more closet spaces. Just like the master, this second bedroom has windows looking into the private garden and the bathroom features radiant heated floors.
As you would expect the apartment is fully wired for sound with Stealth Acoustics invisible speakers in 3 locations, a Elan control system, Ubiquiti WiFi and a gas fireplace with remote control.
The design of this special duplex is striking and cozy, and must be seen to be believed. The elegant, old world facade of 17 East 63rd Street gives no clue to this hidden gem nestled inside. 63rd Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and desirable areas in all of New York City. Close to high-end boutiques, hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and of course, Central Park making it the epitome of luxury living.
80% financing, pied à terres allowed. Sub-letting will be considered on a case by case basis.
