Unparalleled elegance and grandeur at the iconic Apthorp Condominium. Graciously arranged over more than 3,000 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, this palatial, mint condition 3- bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home smartly combines splendid old world charm and sophistication with a timeless, perfect renovation.
Step into and enjoy a magnificently proportioned gallery with a beautiful, restored marble mosaic floor, adjoined by an oversized coat closet and storage area. The grand living room features exquisite ceiling moldings, a decorative marble fireplace with the original mirrors over the mantle and an open South exposure that floods the room with sunlight all day. Across the hall through original pocket doors is the oversized formal dining room, which faces the tranquil landscaped Apthorp courtyard. The dining room boasts grand proportions, two enormous windows, another decorative fireplace, and a wall of stunning custom shelves, which are perfect for housing a library, family pictures and heirlooms, or works of art. The large, Christopher Peacock designed kitchen has his signature custom cabinetry all the way to the ceiling, natural stone countertops and backsplash, and a six burner Wolf range with a vented hood. Endless cabinet, shelf and counter space and natural light from the enormous courtyard-facing window make this kitchen a wonderful place to cook or prep a meal.
Nicely tucked away in a separate wing away from the entertaining space are two of the three bedrooms. The double-sized primary bedroom features three closets, including two large walk-in closets and two South facing windows, which are flooded with all-day sunlight. The sumptuous, Carrera marble primary bathroom has double sinks, a deep soaking claw tub, glass shower, and a radiant heat floor. (As an added bonus the apartment has its own water pumps, so the water pressure is beyond excellent! ) The spacious second bedroom has a large closet and an en suite, windowed Carrera adorned bathroom with a radiant heat floor. The third bedroom is currently used as a library and media room and is off of the gallery. Facing the acclaimed courtyard, it boasts two large closets and a wall of beautiful custom built-in bookshelves. The en suite bathroom is also adorned in Carrera marble and has a radiant heat floor.
In addition, there is a perfectly placed powder room with a marble sink and elegant moldings and a separate, real laundry room. Rich herringbone hardwood floors, a smartly designed central HVAC system (including AC and heating), and abundant storage throughout complete this wonderful home.
Ceiling, wall, tabletop and floor lighting locations are all seamlessly controlled by Lutron keypads conveniently located throughout the apartment. The Lutron system also raises and lowers ultraviolet and blackout shades, which are brilliantly hidden above each of the eleven windows.
