Quality like this is rare, and is always a valuable choice. Supremely unique and beautiful, this home is the creation of the very talented and established designer, Kelly Giesen of Kelly G Design. Kelly's vision and work have been celebrated and touted throughout the design world, and this incredibly special residence is her heartfelt, one-of-a-kind creation.
From the moment you pass through the door, you'll know that you are in an exquisite home. Dramatically situated on a prized upper-corner of its treasured 1914 building -- a unique position coveted for its high, beamed ceilings and bright, open city views -- this masterpiece beams gorgeously.
Although everything inside this feel-good home looks as if it has been here for a century or more, the architectural elements were individually curated and crafted by the designer specifically for this gut renovation. Repurposed treasures include antique doors, mantles, mirrors, hardware, and
more. By mixing old and new, this stupendous space seamlessly merges history with modern sensibility.
The entry opens to a sweet foyer, a space made grand by design and graced by a deep, custom hall closet with two 9 foot tall doors. This fine foyer is a graceful transition to the residential bliss that lies ahead.
The custom mantle is the focal point of the comfortable Living Room - a vibrant space which, like the rest of this trophy home, boasts herringbone White Oak floors and real plaster moldings cast from vintage molds. Two unique circle-motif doors grace either side of the vintage decorative fireplace, and add to the lofty flow of this happy home -- allowing light to flow from the fantastic adjacent bedroom.
The gorgeous windowed kitchen is open and adjacent to the living and dining spaces, and is perfectly poised for entertaining. Its painted cabinetry, custom milled to house the owner's extensive collection of vintage china and crystal, conceals many of its under-counter appliances from view. (Try and find the top-tier appliances by Big Chill, Fisher Paykel and Subzero.) The polished Neolith Calcutta Gold countertop and backsplash offer the sophisticated look of a vintage butler's pantry, and beautifully serve this bespoke home's artisanal spirit.
The bedroom is a tranquil, corner retreat boasting three custom closets and three big windows with sunshiny, open city views. With en suite access to the stunning marble bath, this peaceful, bright, and beautiful bedroom is a sweet suite indeed.
The windowed marble bathroom is a dream. With its custom console sink, its signature mosaic, radiant-heat floor, its over-scaled linen closet, its separate, over-scaled custom marble shower, its top of the line fixtures, and its thermostatic controls, this spa bathroom -- like the rest of this residence -- comes with bragging rights. This extraordinary home's lighting is controlled throughout by Lutron switches - and automatic lighting in the closets.
Supremely situated in its handsome, well-tended building, this easy-to-love residence enjoys the benefits of its coveted live-in Super, and separate bike/laundry rooms. Pet and pied-terre-friendly — with Museum and Central Parks right up the street — this winsome home offers a prime location that leads the pack. Conveniently located on a quiet (no through-traffic), picturesque tree-lined street, this easy-living rarity offers prime proximity to every area dining, shopping, fitness, and cultural destination. Transportation options abound (1, B and C trains), and minutes away are Equinox, Soul Cycle, Trader Joe’s, Citarella, Zabar’s, Fairway, the Sunday UWS Farmer's Market, the Beacon Theatre, and Linco Listing courtesy of Compass
