Defined by its perfect flow and natural light, this one-of-a-kind, 5,700-square-foot home presents an incomparable opportunity. Impeccable renovations and Stedila Design-planning yield a modern yet warm sensibility that cascades through this open duplex, currently configured as a three bedroom (convertible four) and complemented by four full and two half bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows on both floors deliver stunning, unencumbered views of the majesty of Central Park and Manhattan to the north, east and west. An entry foyer on the first floor opens into an immense entertainment area. Past the bright room's decorative fireplace is an inspiring library with a full wall of mahogany shelves. This luxuriant section flows into the dining room both of which stretch alongside the remodeled kitchen, which can open up or be closed off as needed, thanks to opaque sliding TRE-Piu doors. Partially separated into full and service, the kitchen comes complete with stainless steel Viking appliances, including a dishwasher and six burner stove. Additionally, the ample cabinets are stainless. The double oven sits between the full and service set-ups, and the latter boasts three large Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, and an ice maker. With no detail left unconsidered, there's a breakfast bar, and an additional Sub-Zero refrigerator in the service entrance room. The first floor also houses one spacious bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, tucked into a corner beyond the living room altogether accessible yet private. Up the curved, glass staircase imagined by the same designers as those found in Apple stores the breathtaking master bedroom occupies the home's northeast corner.

On this floor, one finds the fabulous master bathroom, featuring a soaking tub and a separate shower, a hair sink, along with a bidet. On the other side, a walk-in closet houses custom shelving and another full bath complete with a concrete tub and a separate shower that doubles as a steam room and features a heated shaving mirror. A third large bedroom also factors into the second floor, and has its own ensuite bathroom.
