138 Manhattan Avenue
Description
This five-story home features four bedrooms plus an artist’s studio, three and one-half baths, and abundant natural light from skylights and dramatic double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. An expansive chef’s kitchen, complete with designer cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and a modern dumbwaiter, is situated on the garden level, where both cooks and diners enjoy leafy garden views. The dining room is striking with its double-height ceilings, while the living room is graced with a working fireplace and a glass wall that seamlessly frames the garden beyond.
The third and fourth floors comprise spacious, well-proportioned bedrooms and luxurious limestone baths. The primary bedroom features a working fireplace and skylight. The fifth floor is currently configured as an artist’s studio, complete with skylight, terrace, and views of Central Park.
This collaboration between two important architectural forces creates an extraordinary synthesis of historic exterior and modern interior design — bridging old and new through perfect spatial harmony to create a warm, contemporary, and truly exceptional home.
