470 West 143rd Street

Hamilton Heights. Walking along these tree-lined streets, one never knows what beauty lies behind the doors of historic townhouses. But here, at 470, we will find a remarkable gem. A chic minimal home, rich in design and materials. Everything that you would expect in a modern smart house with a full gut renovation; a chefs kitchen, four large bedrooms, four beautifully tiled bathrooms with heated floors, soaking tubs and rain showers. A high end security system with cameras. Yet, it is what you would not expect that makes this home a masterpiece of fine modern living: a colonial mantle from 1741, exquisite fixtures from Italy, Finland and Amish America. Two grand slate fireplaces, one gas, one wood burning, the last approved wood burning fireplace in New York City. Hand laid marble mosaics along the walls tastefully blended with the masterful flooring of French wide plank oak. Thick mahogany doors lead into a large foyer adorned with antique glass and inlay marble. Discretely adjoining the foyer we have a spacious cloak room, a powder room and a mud room with a separate entrance. Stunning from the moment you enter, gracious and minimal combined. Modern living with the ability to entertain on a grand scale. A spacious entertainment room, two butler pantries, the all important English pub on the sixth floor which leads out to an outdoor double deck. The charming walled garden which offers a hot tub, an outdoor shower and a delightful fountain. Nearby parking facility and a trendy restaurant row. Everything you could ask for. Yes, you never know what lies behind these doors....but from the minute you step into 470, you are keenly aware that you have entered a very special house.
