Listing Notes

A Luxurious 3-bed, 3-bath duplex in one-of-a-kind townhouse discreetly tucked behind a historic 19th century facade. This unique 2, 283-square-foot duplex home spans two floors of luxury, featuring a three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout that seamlessly combines timeless elegance and contemporary design, adorned with interiors by Barry Rice Architects. The striking first impression begins in the large living room on the main level, with three large bow windows offering a picturesque view of a Landmarked church, automated shades, high ceilings with beams, and hardwood floors. Elegant and open chef's kitchen is equipped with Italian custom cabinetry and stonework, a Wolf six-burner range, Sub Zero fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, and a wine cooler. Upstairs awaits a spacious primary bedroom with an oversized en-suite marble bathroom, walk-in California custom closets, and three large bow windows which optimize the natural light. Opposite the primary suite, you will find a hallway where the laundry room and third bathroom with a soaking tub await, followed by two more large bedrooms that are also outfitted with California closets and automated blackout shades. This floor also has a separate entrance that leads right into the upper floor from the elevator, making access easier without having to use the stairs. The apartment comes with a storage cage, trash chute, and recycling on each floor, and offers 24-hour doorman service. Its unbeatable location puts you in the heart of the city near major transportation, restaurants, Riverside, and Central Park.
