In the early 2010s, the renowned New York townhouse contractor Xhema led a full-scale refurbishment. More recently, another leader in ultra-prime New York construction, Highline Construction, executed significant renovations and upgrades, ensuring the property remains at the forefront of luxury and innovation. The most recent phase, completed in October 2023 and further enhanced in the summer of 2024, was a meticulous undertaking designed to restore and elevate the property’s elegance, functionality, and security. From revitalized finishes to state-of-the-art technology integration, every detail has been crafted to maintain the highest standards of New York’s elite architectural landscape. Behind its stately limestone façade, this extraordinary residence welcomes you with a grand gallery featuring original malachite mosaic flooring, a marble-mantled fireplace, and a sweeping marble staircase. The expansive eat-in kitchen, outfitted with Carrara marble counters and backsplashes, overlooks a serene interior courtyard garden. Top-of-the-line appliances include a 60” Bluestar Dual Fuel Range and oversized refrigeration. A pantry leads to a playroom, which opens directly onto the terrace. Ascend the wrought iron and brass-clad staircase to the palatial second floor, where soaring 17-foot ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and a Baccarat 32-bulb chandelier define the grand reception room. A wood-burning fireplace and quarter-sawn white oak floors in a Parquet de Versailles pattern add timeless elegance. The formal dining room, offering a unique, uninterrupted view spanning an entire city block to The Pierre Hotel, is serviced by a butler’s pantry with a dumbwaiter and kitchen access. A large bedroom is positioned at the rear of the parlor floor, while a full bedroom suite with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom sits on the mezzanine level. Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite is a private sanctuary with two ensuite bathrooms, a spacious dressing room, and a custom-milled wood-paneled library. One ensuite features mahogany lacquered millwork with bronze trim and a custom Olympic Grey marble vanity, while the second boasts a Kohler 72” soaking tub, Fior Di Bosco marble flooring, a gas fireplace, heated floors, and steam-resistant mirrors. A private stairwell leads to an additional large dressing room. The fourth floor offers two generously sized guest bedrooms, each with dressing rooms and full ensuite bathrooms. The fifth floor houses another guest suite with a full ensuite, along with a sophisticated entertaining space, including a media room, a wood-paneled wet bar, and a billiards room lined with custom Hermès-upholstered leather walls. Crowning the home is the rooftop terrace, featuring elevator access, a lounge and dining area beneath a cedar pergola, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ grill and refrigerator, a powder room, and breathtaking front and rear views of Central Park. The lower level is designed for wellness and convenience, with a skylit gym featuring state-of-the-art equipment, a new sauna, steam room, and massage room. Additional amenities include a wine cellar, a home office, an oversized laundry room, and a fully tiled dog wash.
