Centrally located in Mid-Manhattan opposite Central Park South, this 900sf gracious apartment alteration serves as a portfolio showcase for an interior designer-art dealer starting practice in New York, Paris and Europe. By purchasing 30sf of the existing hallway – the Owner was able to create a more gracious entryway into the apartment. The main open plan public space allow entertaining on a split level at the centre of which is a fully functioning stainless steel clad kitchen for the client who is also a semi-professional chef. The kitchen and Den-TV area can be further opened up with a series of full height sliding solid walnut doors. The Den-TV area has a separate full bathroom with new fixtures, fittings and fittings for visiting guests. The dining area and den feature custom designed and well executed wood furniture . New walnut parquet flooring and new interior steps match the feel of the existing herringbone flooring to flush-leveled perfection. All the new wood in the apartment, including the flooring, steps, full height doors, door trim and dining room table is treated with a sustainable matte oil finish to allow the wood grain to surface. The private master bedroom ensuite is completed with the addition of a large new 55sf limestone bathroom fully ADA compliant, a full height wall-to-wall closet and a separate workspace area. The private art collection and full wall tapestries are prominently displayed on the walls throughout this apartment attesting to the refinement of the Owner’s decorating acumen! This apartment is truly an ode to a sophisticated decorator-art dealer-chef!
