This classic eight-into-seven-room home, located in one of Manhattans most prestigious residential addresses, has ?undergone a sophisticated and impeccably tailored renovation by renowned interior designer Phillip Thomas. With 10-foot ceilings, beautifully preserved architectural details, and grand proportions throughout, this sun-filled residence is truly exceptional.
Entering from a semi-private landing, an elegant foyer unfolds into a stately entrance gallery, making a gracious first impression. Beyond, the impressively scaled living/dining room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows seamlessly into a handsome library. Stretched across sunny Madison Avenue, this expansive public space is equally suited to large gatherings and relaxed evenings. A large eat-in kitchen is ideally situated off the gallery and thoughtfully designed for everyday life, featuring a Wolf six-burner range and Miele appliances, wonderful storage, and banquette dining. Adjacent to the kitchen are a separate laundry room, butlers pantry and bardetails that make the apartment as functional as it is beautiful.
The private bedroom wing is tucked away from the entertaining spaces and also enjoys quiet, sunny exposure. The serene primary suite includes a separate sitting area, dressing room, generous closets, and an en-suite bath. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms share a renovated bath and offer excellent closet space. A separate staff room with its own full bath provides ideal flexibility as a guest room, office, or additional bedroom.
