The opulent Queen Anne Revival exterior was preserved and melded with an ultra-contemporary interior renovation, creating a crown jewel of a residence. Jumping right off of the pages of any global interior design magazine, you will be astounded by the flow and appointments throughout. The restored foyer and staircase showcase the home's history, while the rest of the house embraces a contemporary aesthetic with white oak millwork and Roman clay plastered walls and ceiling. A seamless expansion adds five levels of extraordinary living space. The cloakroom, located off the foyer, sets the tone for the home's aesthetic: minimalism and functionality. Descending a few stairs from the foyer, you enter the expansive open-concept great room, encompassing living, dining, den, and eat-in kitchen areas. The chef's dream kitchen by Balthaup design with a full suite of Gaggenau appliances is bathed in natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall window system. Take the staircase or the elevator to the second-floor where you will find three bedrooms, a family room, and three full bathrooms. The entire 1370 sq ft third floor is dedicated to the luxurious primary bedroom suite, complete with a dressing room and marvelous spa-like bathroom with marble tile by Salvatori and walk-out to the rooftop deck. A fourth-floor loft reveals a sun-drenched exercise room tucked away from the rest of the house. The lower level redefines expectations, boasting a media room, kitchenette, and state-of-the-art mechanical rooms. The garage features a vehicle turntable for effortless parking. The property sits on a sprawling lot and includes a fenced-in backyard with a detached pavilion, perfect for a yoga studio or artist's retreat. This outstanding city residence offers a harmonious blend of historical charm, contemporary elegance, and unparalleled comfort.
