PET FRIENDLY HOME CLOSE TO CENTRAL PARK

Sophisticated, and richly appointed, this rare offering of a four bedroom duplex in one of New York's Gilded Age mansions combines restored turn-of-the-century details with modern luxurious top-of-the line finishes. The pet friendly residence is located on a bucolic tree-lined park block in the heart of the Upper West Side.

The sun-filled South facing chef's kitchen frames a magnificent tree through its large windows. The expansive space features a pretty decorative fireplace and comfy window banquette for looking out at the verdant views and gorgeous brownstones across the street. The kitchen is adorned with Miele appliances, a gooseneck Barker and Wilson brass kitchen faucet, quarried Statuario honed white marble, poured concrete countertops and a built-in wine fridge. The highly decorated plaster medallion and eleven foot ceiling in the kitchen highlight the brilliant combination of old world decor and modern luxury. The floor-through features a fireplace with a hearth cabinet insert. A beautiful powder room and a solarium serve as a calming respite. The first floor concludes with an office that can be turned into a fourth bedroom. There are also pristine, pickled white oak floors throughout the home and abundant closet space.

The architecturally significant modern stairway leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite features another gorgeous, decorative fireplace. The home is also equipped with central air conditioning, Nest temperature control, Sonos sound system, and a full-size Whirlpool duet washer and dryer. The electrical system is fully updated. The bathrooms feature beautiful hand-painted Moroccan tile and Waterworks fixtures.

An intimate co-operative building, 25 West 71st was designed in the Renaissance Revival style by Cleverdon & Putzel in 1891.

The home is a short distance to an impressive array of cultural institutions: Lincoln Center, The New York Historical Society, and the Museum of Natural History. The area is home to great restaurants such as Cafe Luxembourg and Lincoln. Food markets abound such as Zabar's, Citarella and Fairway. Pied-a-terre ownership is permitted. Basement storage is transferred with ownership. The home is convenient to all transportation. This is truly one of the most beautiful homes on the market today.
