Triple Mint Six with Park Views
Once in a very long while, an apartment with spectacular Central Park views, fabulously and newly renovated to an extraordinary standard, becomes available. Apartment 12E, a classic six, has just undergone a meticulous two-year renovation, torn down to the rubble and reconstructed from stem to stern. The results are breathtaking. Every inch of this apartment is designed for glamorous and luxurious urban living, and provides the most gracious possible backdrop to jaw-dropping views of Central Park and the skyline.

The large entrance foyer has glorious solid mahogany doors and a massive coat closet with custom millwork, and a dramatic chandelier and sconces by Ochre. The large living room, with incredible park and skyline views, has a new gas fireplace with a beautiful Chesney limestone surround, and walls of artisan Venetian plaster in a matte finish. Throughout the apartment everything, including the oak herringbone floors, electrical, HVAC, Internet/WiFi, plumbing, appliances, all finishes and surfaces and what lies behind them are brand new and state of the art.

The dining room has been artfully and partially opened to an exquisite custom kitchen, with custom "Burlesque" 880 marble counters from Artistic Tile with grooved inset drainboard, Waterworks fittings and fixtures, SubZero refrigerator, Wolf cooktop and oven, Wolf microwave, and a full-size SubZero wine refrigerator. The dining room features a built-in seating area, lovely custom cabinetry with thoughtfully designed storage for silver and china.
