251 W 89th St APT 4D, New York, NY 10024

No renovation like it, and no other listing to match it: introducing a rare 4BR/2.5BA "classic seven" with a meticulous renovation in the iconic Adamston, a beloved pre-war condominium in the ideal UWS location. Through the owner's thoughtful reimagination, the grace and proportionality of a classic seven have been coupled with the openness of a modern home, anchored around a great room, formal dining, and open kitchen offset by two distinct sleeping wings. This unicorn layout provides privacy to the king-size primary suite and separate sleeping wing, and has been recreated from the studs up, with brand new electrical wiring, plumbing, flooring, moldings, fixtures, and more. The owners’ design answers every wish of form and function — from the aesthetic grace of herringbone floors, classically styled beaming and molding, custom cabinetry and elegant fixtures — to the practicalities of multi-zone central A/C, full-home Sonos sound system, and fully built and lit closet systems throughout. Materials were all chosen for the pleasure of their own use, and the longevity and style they provide. The kitchen features chef-grade appliances including Wolf double electric ovens, Wolf gas range with externally vented fume hood, and Wolf microwave; SubZero refrigerator and freezer; HanStone quartz countertops; mosaic backsplash; and abundant custom cabinetry, both over-counter and island. The island itself offers comfortable seating for four and full wiring (which could also accommodate a wine fridge with easy installation – a sub-floor power supply is already in place). The laundry closet is equipped with externally vented, extra-large Samsung washer and dryer. All closets are built out with lighting and closet systems, and mirrors are inset in the bedroom closet doors. Each of the generously sized bedrooms can accommodate a queen or king bed; all have the graceful proportions that typify the prewar style. Beautified by treeline views, gentle light, and a remarkably elegant layout, 4D is grace by every metric. The Admaston at 251 West 89th Street is a distinctive pre-war building converted to condominium in the mid-1980s. Designed by renowned architects George and Edward Blum, the Admaston features striking stained glass windows and skylights in the lobby, twin Carrara marble staircases that wind up the interior of the building, and a wealth of preserved period details — lacy runs of terra cotta, beige tapestry brick with deep-struck joints, and extensive and inventive use of iron ornament. The live-in superintendent and full-time doormen are beloved stewards of an iconic building. Modern additions include a beautifully landscaped roof deck, storage, and bike storage. Pets are welcome. Residents enjoy close proximity to local and express 1/2/3 trains, museums, Riverside and Central Park and a wealth of entertainment, shopping and dining options. A $600/mo capital assessment is in place through December 2025 to rebuild reserves following recent capital projects to modernize elevators, replace sidewalk, run updated gas lines, and complete LL11. The building is actively maintained and responsibly managed by an engaged board, management company and super.
