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. This large room also has a comfortable tv/library area for casual evenings at home. Bright eastern exposure provides excellent light. Behind the kitchen is a beautifully designed home office with cabinets and storage that light up when opened and a lovely built in desk. There is a full bath a with gorgeous custom marble sink and shower, and wonderful geode sconce by Jean de Merry.

The elegant primary also has incredible park views, two custom walk-in closets, and a full bath with Waterworks marble and fittings.

A well-designed guest bedroom has custom closet, custom desk and built in bookshelves, and a sunny eastern exposure. A stacked washer dryer is in a separate closet with custom storage.
