Pre-War Elegance Meets Modern Luxury - In Jackie O's Former Building, Just Off Central Park Rarely does a home so seamlessly blend timeless pre-war architecture with the sleek sophistication of a modern luxury condo.

Hidden above it, a Mirror TV blends technology with tradition-allowing modern life without sacrificing charm. Abundant casement and sash windows usher in natural light from three exposures, enhancing the home's inviting ambiance. At the heart of the residence lies a truly show-stopping eat-in kitchen, outfitted for the most discerning chef. Sleek German Leicht cabinetry, heat and scratch resistant Dekton stone countertops and backsplash from Porcelanosa, and panel-ready appliances set the tone. A Viking gas cooktop with pop-up downdraft vent, Sub-Zero Wolf microwave and oven, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher ensure performance without compromising aesthetics. A dedicated bar area with a multi-zone wine fridge, along with island seating for three, make entertaining effortless. Smartly concealed storage fills every available corner, maximizing both form and function. A custom home office-bathed in sunlight through a large sash window-provides an ideal work-from-home retreat. Nearby, a walk-in closet fully outfitted by California Closets features LED-lit drawers and meticulous organization. The king-sized primary bedroom is a serene haven, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling closets flanking the bed, dual window exposures, and designer Gracie wallpaper.

Additional features include motorized shades in every room, central air conditioning with linear diffusers, recessed lighting throughout, restored original windows, and iconic arched doorways that elevate the space with a timeless sense of style.
