This exquisite two bedroom/two bath“bridge unit” is one of the most spectacular residences in Manhattan House. It has northern and southern exposures, beautiful garden views, and a grand living room. Every detail of this unique renovation was thoughtfully executed with a sense of purpose and great style. The first thing you’ll notice are the gorgeous wide-planked ebony hardwood floors as you step into this magnificent home. Over-sized windows span across the living and dining room, showcasing a full wall of southern exposure overlooking Manhattan House’s private gardens. Included in the sale is a custom-made maple and stainless-steel wall unit (shelving and cabinetry) in the living room which ties in with the ebony floors beautifully. The owner will also include 3 custom-designed chandeliers and all custom-made window treatments (Roman shades). The dining area can easily accommodate a large group for gatherings and holiday celebrations and is just outside the kitchen. The south-facing windowed kitchen offers Viking Professional appliances and a brand new, ultra-quiet, top of the line Bosch dishwasher. All cabinets have been custom-built and there is a pantry as well. The main bedroom features a large walk-in custom closet plus an entire wall of storage (custom-made/finished maple storage unit with mirrored doors, extensive hidden shelving, drawers, and TV unit). The owner also installed a wall of custom silk soundproof panels so it is pin-drop quiet with lovely tree views looking north onto East 66th Street. The large marble en suite bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower, double vanity with 2 sinks, as well as radiant heated floors/towel rack. The second bedroom functions 3 ways: as a home office, a den, and a guest bedroom. There is a custom-built desk unit with extensive cabinetry and shelving, a queen-size Murphy bed, a loveseat sofa, end tables, and a soffit with 4 recessed lights was added. Additional storage space is located under the loveseat to store your sheets/blankets. The second full bathroom is just outside the bedroom and was designed to resemble a modern powder room (with a bathtub concealed behind a sliding mirrored panel). Other features include washer/dryer, custom-designed California closets throughout the apartment, central HVAC with individually controlled thermostats throughout, high-performance acoustic energy efficient windows, and FIOS ready. This impressive residence is in immaculate and in move-in condition. It is turn-key and is for the most discerning buyer. The owner would consider selling it fully, partially, or unfurnished. Manhattan House, designed in 1950 by Gordon Bunshaft with Skidmore Owings and Merrill, is located on one of the most desirable blocks on the Upper East Side. The beautifully framed glass-enclosed lobby overlooks one of the largest private sculpture gardens in New York City.
