1165 Madison Ave, 8

JUST LISTED! A brand new, never-been-lived-in, palatial 5-bedroom 6.5-bathroom full-floor residence of unparalleled grandeur and sophistication at The Bellemont, the Upper East Side's newest and most lavish residential oasis conceived by Robert AM Stern Architect with interiors by Achille Salvagni. Just one block from Central Park, every inch of this glorious property has been brought to life with painstaking attention to finish quality and detail. This exceptional offering is a unique opportunity to acquire one of only 12 residences in the most coveted luxury new development in New York City's Upper East Side, a project which sold out immediately upon marketing. Welcome to the 8th Floor at The Bellemont.

Enter this full-floor home from your private vestibule into a gracious foyer with coved ceilings rising nearly 14', tiered crown moldings and oversized thresholds which elegantly divide the entertaining and private wings. The millwork echoes the gentle curves of the building's facade, contrasting with a geometric black-and-white honed limestone floor. The foyer leads seamlessly to a grand gallery framed by massive wall space designed to showcase artwork, at the end of which is a magnificent great room which commands the Northwest corner of the building.

The great room offers approximately 28' of Madison Avenue frontage and is enveloped in floor-to-ceiling windows, including a pair of large glass doors that open onto the first of two Juliet balconies. Sunlight pours in over the prewar architecture hugging the corner of Madison Avenue and East 86th Street with views stretching West to Central Park. The coved ceilings are 14' high, and there is a gas fireplace with sleek honed limestone mantle and black marble hearth. Bleached oak basket weave floors add intimacy and warmth, radiating out into all of the principle entertaining spaces including the library, dining room, gallery and even the powder room located ideally off of the foyer.

Immediately adjacent, the library faces Madison Avenue as well and rests behind a pair of handsome solid-core black pocket doors. The library is appointed with a wet bar dressed in Calacatta Gold marble and black lacquer, equally enjoyable whether entertaining or lounging at home. For those in need of a fifth bedroom, the library also has its own en-suite white marble bathroom with stall shower and a walk-in closet. At the opposite end of the entertaining wing, the formal dining room faces North over East 86th Street. The dining room is framed on three sides by solid-core pocket doors to easily usher guests from the gallery and great room and facilitate direct access from the kitchen.

The massive double-windowed chef's eat-in kitchen is a stunning union of function and design, also perfect for your more casual needs. Honed Calacatta Gold marble slabs sit atop custom millwork by Smallbone of Devizes with chrome hardware and linen-lined glass cabinet faces. There is a central island with bar seating as well as large additional space for casual dining. The top-of-the-line Miele appliance suite is extensive, including chef-scaled refrigeration, 8-burner gas range, multiple ovens, 2 dishwashers, a wine refrigerator, and all integrated into the custom cabinetry. There is also a huge walk-in pantry room immediately adjacent, ready to be filled.

To the South, the bedroom wing is secluded via a private corridor off of the foyer. The decadent primary suite echoes the entertaining spaces in scale and design with 14' ceilings, a second dedicated Juliet balcony and a private black-lacquered bar with sub-counter wine fridge by Miele. There are three walk-in closets and two equally opulent en-suite full bathrooms, each with its own steam shower, the larger of which is clad completely in honed off-white limestone with black framing. An elongated double vanity with cerused oak cabinetry adds dimension and texture, balancing the glass enclosures of the double-sized steam rain shower and separate water closet. At the center, a colossal matte soaking tub by Duravit sits dramatically affront a wall of windows. The three remaining bedrooms are all luxuriously appointed with en-suite marble bathrooms and large walk-in closets. The bedroom corridor is further serviced by a proper laundry room with full-sized Electrolux washer and dryer, a laundry sink and ample storage. Finally, there is a massive walk-in closet for yet more storage which can be reassigned to the primary suite, if needed.

A separate storage unit in the building's basement also transfers with this residence.

The Bellemont at 1165 Madison Avenue is a timeless embodiment of luxury and elegance as envisioned by renowned architect Robert AM Stern and famed designer Achille Salvagni. With just 12 residences, the building's resplendent amenities have been carefully curated to provide the building residents with the most lavish of lifestyles.
