"""A Rare Gem for the Discerning Art Collector"" First open house on March 9. The owner, a passionate art collector, meticulously selected this 1916 pre-war boutique condo and transformed it from a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout into a stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence. Designed to showcase contemporary art, this property offers a perfect blend of elegant living and an exquisite art display venue. The owner is seeking the ideal buyer to appreciate and continue the legacy of this unique home. Every detail of this breathtaking, fully renovated, full-floor pre-war condo loft has been thoughtfully chosen to highlight art at its finest. The stunning modern art pieces currently displayed in the home's gallery emphasize the generous proportions of the space. Special Lutron lighting accentuates the artwork while ensuring its preservation, and the gallery (floating) walls bring forth openness and sophistication to the space. The expansive dining and living area is ideal for sophisticated entertaining, featuring rich dark oak flooring throughout. The open kitchen boasts custom-designed Poliform/Varenna cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and top-of-the-line Subzero, Miele, and Thermador appliances. Two luxurious marble bathrooms are equipped with Duravit and Geberit fixtures. An advanced sound system is installed throughout the unit. The loft offers abundant storage with spacious custom walk-in closets and additional storage beneath the entrance closet. The laundry room is outfitted with a Miele washer and dryer. The original structure, the first five floors of a 23-story building, is a neo-Federal style landmarked townhouse built in 1916. A private keyed elevator opens directly into the apartment, leading to an oversized great room with a tree-lined view through large windows. This loft is part of a 21-unit building with a 24-hour doorman. Residents can also unwind on the 5th-floor terrace, an ideal spot for taking in the city skyline or enjoying a quiet moment outdoors. Ideally located just steps from the Asia Society off Park Avenue and a few blocks away from numerous galleries, museums, Central Park, high-end shopping stores, excellent restaurants, and public transportation, this property provides unparalleled convenience and cultural access.
