Property Description for 240 West 98th Street, 3B-4C
Option to combine at small cost and effort the mint Classic-11 w/ Grand Proportions with a fantastic 5RM above, transformed into 2 added BRs, family RM & maid's room/offices. Total = 16 Rms, 5-7 BR + 2 maid's, 4 baths. The mint portion bridges traditional rules of layout & craftsmanship, to minimalism in the color themes, kitchen & bathrooms. The opulent T-Shaped entertaining flow rivals the top Park Avenue layouts. The side-by-side Living, Dining & Library span the width of the building wing, offering 6 window views onto the tree-lined street and its stunning architecture. The elegance & luxury of this apt can only be found above the $8M range. We invite you to preview it anytime. Charismatic views & magical light surround the 3-exposure LR. Added to the 10ft ceiling & the magnificent floor, the perfect 13 sq-ft entry gallery speaks of luxury as you enter. It leads you to a 28x10 art & cocktail Gallery with bar, then to the 35x20 LR. Two bedroom wings preserve the privacy of the double master-suite & boudoir (sitting room).
LAYOUT & APT FEATURES: There are only 2 apts on this floor. The living room features a stunning minimalist Fireplace (ethanol clean-air); separate Den; the fantastic EIK opens onto a great Family Rm. An optional bar, opening onto the Art Gallery, makes the Grand Hall a live part of the entertaining flow. Additionally, private BR wings will uncover 4-5 bedrooms of which 2 are Master suites.
AT LAST, A TRUE MASTER BR: Beautiful 16 x 14 square, huge windowed Dressing Rm with make-up area, and a complete Spa: Steam-Rm+Aromatherapy+Chromatherapy, 6ft Lacey tub featuring neck massage & Ozone treatment, separate Toto toilet w/ full bidet options.
FINISHES: Over-the-top-of-the-line! Plaster moldings, 8ft solid doors, 3 pairs of pocket doors with beveled glass, Viking appliances, Franke double sink, European Faucets. The ultra-sophisticated connectivity system (Control4) will even suggest how to dress as you leave your home & allows mood setting as you enter (Light, Music & Security controls). Quarter-sawn white oak flooring on a framed herring-bone pattern, reminiscent of the best of Pre-War addresses in NYC & 15 CPW. This duplex feels like a horizontal townhouse with tree-line views & absolute Privacy: it occupies its own full wing of the Sabrina, hence offers 3 exposures & no common wall w/ neighbors, a privilege conferred by the comb architecture; interior walls are triple-insulated, floors are double-insulated. This is a 100% gut renovation, a great show that truly beats $6-8M homes.
BLDG, SVCES & NEIGHBORHOOD: The Sabrina Condominium was built with no spared expense prior to the Great Depression. It embodies Old New York charm: its grand lobby with ornate plaster ceilings and lavish book-end marble-panels is of no equal. It was recently restored & elegantly furnished. This recently converted full-service building is already an established address. Access 97 & 98 St. 24H Garage across. Express Trains 2, 3, BC nearby.
