Description

Perched gracefully on the upper floors of a charming pre-war co-op, this meticulously updated duplex residence offers the rare combination of the volume and spatial grandeur of a townhouse with the ease of full-service white-glove living. It is a home imbued with a soulful warmth and timeless character, nestled within the quiet, tree-lined enclave of Murray Hill. As you enter the elegant foyer, you are immediately drawn farther in by the promise of space and light fulfilled by 9ft ceilings, solid oak floors, and oversized baseboards that speak to an era of masterful craftsmanship. The main level unfolds as a perfect canvas for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining: a sun-flooded living room and a dedicated dining area flow seamlessly into a chef's kitchen, a true heart of the home clad in cool Carrara marble and equipped with a suite of high-end appliances, including a Wolf range and Liebherr refrigeration. A walk-in pantry and a cleverly concealed storage nook under the stairs ensure that both beauty and function are in perfect balance. Beyond the kitchen, a quiet library, anchored by custom red oak built-ins, offers a serene retreat that easily serves as a fifth bedroom. A gentle ascent via the sculptural staircase leads to the private sleeping quarters, a tranquil sanctuary separated from the vibe downstairs. Here, the sprawling primary suite is a study in understated luxury, boasting a dedicated dressing room and a pristine en-suite bath, while the secondary bedrooms share in the home’s abundant eastern, western, and southern exposures. Light flows through the newly installed, energy-efficient windows all day long, often capturing a glittering glimpse of the Empire State Building, a quintessential New York tableau. Custom millwork is thoughtfully woven throughout, from the rich built-ins to the generous closets, ensuring every inch is as useful as it is beautiful. Built by the iconic architect George F. Pelham, this is not just a home, but an urban oasis where every conceivable convenience meets timeless architectural grace. Enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in super, and a newly renovated rooftop offering iconic skyline views as your private backdrop. Yet the true genius lies in the location, placing the very best of city life at your doorstep. Imagine morning coffee before Equinox or Crunch, easy drop-ins to the nearby Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, and weekends exploring The Morgan Library or riverfront parks alive with pickleball, concerts, and cultural events. Perfectly poised just two blocks from the 6 train, you have seamless access to Grand Central, the 34th Street Ferry Terminal, and the Midtown Tunnel. The East River Greenway is your backyard, while beloved institutions like Sarge’s Deli, Bryant Park, and endless dining options keep you connected to the city’s vibrant pulse. * Pet friendly * Gifting allowed * Pied-e-terre: Case-by-case * Guarantor: Case-by-case * Parents buying for children: Case-by-case * LLC Purchases: Not allowed * Trust Purchase: Allowed.
