This tailored renovation of an exclusive Park Avenue residence combines two separate, formerly disjointed units into one capacious duplex. A modern, glamorous dwelling, the expansive floor plan allows for formal entertaining, as well as a quiet living–loft-like feel; one that exudes luxury, craftsmanship and a quality suitable to the address.
The generous living room incorporates a landscaped wrap around terrace with striking views atop Park Avenue and Central Park. Adjacent, the dining room highlights an expansive custom rosewood and patina bronze table, and segues into a luxuriously comfortable media lounge. The vast kitchen, a must for the culinary skillful client, is laid with an expansive white marble countertop and Boffi cabinetry. An intimate breakfast nook, wet bar, and functional butler’s pantry completes the picture.
The spare linear walnut staircase, concealed by a figured zebrawood partition, leads to the private second level, devoted entirely to the master suite. A home office with custom-designed bamboo built-ins, his-and-her dressing rooms, a dramatic open bathroom with travertine and walnut vanities and deep soaking tub, are all united by a continuous terrace.
With a restrained color palette and rich contrasting materials, the setting is distilled, but sophisticated; the comfortable upholstered furnishings, elegant finishes and rich woods are accentuated by the abundance of natural light emanating through the dwelling.
