116 Pinehurst Ave APT G64, Manhattan, NY 10033

Vintage New York artistically reimagined. This true 2-bedroom home is a quiet gem on the top floor of a historic 1924 six story elevator building perched on Manhattan's highest hill with three exposures, great light and air, plus a spacious floor plan. What more could you ask for? How about an amazing artist's renovation that brilliantly combines fine craftsmanship, historic architectural insight, and quality mechanicals with panache and wit? Well, here it is! Adorned with casement windows, the living and dining areas are filled with northern light while the two bedrooms face south and west, with partial views of the Hudson River. From your arrival into the entry foyer you'll feel a sense of calm returning as you're welcomed away from the outside world. Remove your shoes surrounded by fabric and Lincrusta covered walls and cherry toned wood, under coved, stenciled and illuminated ceilings. One set of French doors leads you into the cheery living room that includes a corner of windows with slate sills, offering two exposures bringing soft northern light and a western window for Hudson River views. Handsome moldings wind around the walls to frame fabric wainscoting and provide picture rails for wall hangings. The periphery of the patterned ceiling is coved and illuminated transforming the space from a bright gathering spot by day into a romantic hideaway at night, complete with a built-in bookcase, tiled candle hearth, and refinished oak parquet floors spanning the entire apartment. Another set of french doors open into the dining alcove and kitchen bathed in light from a bank of northern facing windows. The kitchen's original spirit is embellished by beadboard wainscoting, glass fronted cabinets, a farmhouse porcelain sink, warm wood countertops of reclaimed elm set against a backsplash of hand painted portuguese tiles - all topped off by an old New York tin ceiling. Original HVG china cabinets have been seamlessly integrated into the design. From the foyer, another french door leads down hallways to the bathroom-a tiled oasis true in the 1920's design with reglazed original tub, mini-hex floor tiles, green crackle field tiles with white borders, a period style sink and fixtures plus a custom medicine cabinet with ribbed glass sidelights. Both bedrooms are large with western partial views out over the Hudson River and GW Bridge. The second bedroom has been reimagined as a study, with its imaginative wallpaper and starry ceiling, inspired by the spirit of the Morgan Library. A quiet place to retreat with a good book and a glass of fortification while figuring out whodunnit. The style is redolent of vintage New York club rooms, the sort of place Sherlock Holmes would feel at home in with its oak paneling and exotic wallpaper.
