Description

Incredibly beautiful Park views, a brilliantly conceived, pristine renovation and a generosity of space elevate this Beresford 4 bedroom plus library classic 9 to the highest level of residential perfection.

A semi-private landing and central gallery open into an archetypal entertainment area: a 30x18 Park view living room with WBFP, a magnificent formal dining room, a fabulous library/study, and a restaurant size chef's EIK.

The 25-foot chef's kitchen defies description. Cook for a crowd on an amazing array of professional appliances like a Viking 36-inch range with vented hood, 6-foot Subzero refrigerator freezer, 2 Miele commercial dishwashers, miles of sleek cabinetry and splendid composite counters. In a separate wing reside a serene primary bedroom with wonderful Park views east and north and a handsome bath ensuite. A second bedroom, also with ensuite bath, overlooks the Park. Bedrooms three and four face a pastoral section of West 82nd Street and are served by a generous hall bath.

Every detail of the apartment was carefully selected or custom fabricated. The space is brimming with amenities. Radiant floor heating on WIFI control warms the kitchen and 4 bathrooms. Air conditioning is conducted by 4 compressor HVACs with a central GPS air purifying system. Individual room temperature is WIFI regulated. Floors are splendid quarter sawn oak. Ceilings were raised almost a foot in the common areas. Exquisite millwork was specifically designed for each room. There are cutting-edge noise-limiting windows, soundproof living room walls for piano playing and attractive fixtures including cast-iron tubs in the baths.

All exterior and bedroom doors have sound baffling brush seals at the door jams. Closets are individually lighted with dedicated garment, sports and shoe storage. The library contains floor to ceiling bookshelves and adjustable reading lights. There is also a pullout desk and tech/printer hub in a study corner of the dining room. The laundry room, off the kitchen, features a full size, commercial Speed Queen washer and gas dryer vented out. Don't forget the full guest bath/powder room, the comprehensive lighting plan and stunning brass door hinges and hardware throughout. Each room is connected to the main sound system, and the bedrooms are wired for phone, data, Sonos music and Savant AV for Apple TV. An ample basement storage locker comes with the apartment.

Apartment 4G is peerless for finish, form and function.

Ideally located at the epicenter of Upper Westside civilization, the Beresford is renowned for its white glove service, exquisite management and incomparable, state of the art gym. The building was designed in a Baroque Renaissance style "with marble halls of your dizziest dreams" by the inimitable Emery Roth who emigrated to America at age 13 from the small Austro-Hungarian village of Galszecs. Mr. Roth inscribed every Beresford elevator door with the following phrase, Fronta Nulla Fides: "Appearances don't tell the full story." This "Mansion in the Clouds" feels just like home.
