IN CONTRACT. Once home to Woody Allen and now re-imagined by the award winning Desai/Chia design team, renowned for creating light filled, luxurious, sculptural spaces that suit a comfortable contemporary lifestyle; this seven room "open plan" condominium home embodies their aesthetic. A graceful entry gallery welcomes you into a breathtaking and carefully curated open space that flows seamlessly. Every detail is custom crafted using natural materials. The designers chose to respect the architectural integrity of the central concrete column in the Great Room which generates a downtown industrial vibe that anchors the room in time and space. Doors reach to the height of the ceiling, quarter sawn white oak floors in all major rooms, a stunning white oak custom designed library wall and hints of oak in the open plan, eat in kitchen suggest that the elements are reaching to earth and sky. The overall feeling is one of natural and relaxed elegance. All major rooms face Madison Avenue and the cityscape east. The double living room gently divided by the free standing concrete spine distinguishes the Great Room entertaining space into discrete, yet continuous living and dining rooms. The space also easily accommodates a cozy open study area adjacent to the white oak library wall. In the opposing corner, is an informal dining area ensconced in a sculptural space bathed in brilliant light from the kitchen windows which face north. The kitchen artfully tucked behind the pantry and eat-in area is an inviting work space with chef quality appliances: Wolf Stove, Custom French Door Sub Zero refrigerator, Miele Dishwasher and Panasonic Microwave. The Master Bedroom, Master Bath, Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen are connected to the Sonos Music System, which streams the pure, immersive sound of all your favorite music to each of the rooms and is controlled by either the home system or your phone. The cabinetry is custom designed as is the lighting and the spaces throughout this home; all are a work of art in themselves. The bedrooms are thoughtfully split by a long hall that spans the apartment and accentuates the natural spaciousness and separates the sleeping quarters into two separate zones. The Master Bedroom with King Bed offers two walk-in closets and the huge windowed WIC houses a Miele washer/dryer. The Master Bath is a stunning spa bath with basaltine floors, a Carrara marble wall, Italian glass tiles and double sinks, all custom crafted and bespoke. Flowing graciously across the horizontal artery of the apartment are two additional bedrooms. One spacious corner bedroom is presently configured with two twin beds, as well as, an en-suite bath which has a lovely Central Park view. The middle bedroom with a Queen bed looking out onto the terrace offers an adjacent bath also, with Central Park views (loo with a view) which can also serve as a guest powder room. There is a lovely balcony off the dining room and adjacent to the middle bedroom with seating for two, perfect for sitting with the morning paper and a coffee or for enjoying the changing street scenes and skyline. 30 East 85th Street is a white glove full service luxury condominium with concierge built in 1987.
