Property Description
Newly Renovated Eco-Townhouse with Elevator on Prime Park Block<br /><br />This sunny and stunning single-family home will dazzle you with its openness and luxury. Tall windows flood every floor with sunlight, and a double-height ceiling on the garden floor makes a striking impression. With four different outdoor spaces and a coveted location, this is a home that will bring you endless delight.<br /><br />Baxt/Ingui, premier residential architects, have completed a breathtaking brand-new renovation, giving this house not only new splendor, but state-of-the-art systems. This is a "passive house,? which means it has been completely sealed against drafts. As a result, you have an ultra-efficient, ecologically sound home which takes less energy and money to keep warm, while keeping out noise and pests. A sophisticated ventilation system tempers the fresh air that constantly flows into the house. Triple-glazed windows are "passive house? certified and landmark approved, preserving both warmth and elegance.<br /><br />Garden Level:<br />An entertaining or family room greets you as you enter from beneath the stoop. In the rear, you'll find a kitchen with a grand double-height ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows with garden views, a wine refrigerator, top-of-the-line appliances (Subzero, Wolf, and Gaggenau), seating at a large Caesar Stone center island, and plentiful storage. This floor also enjoys a powder room, and a walk-in closet that could be used as a pantry. The kitchen leads to the garden, your own oasis and connection to the earth.<br /><br />Parlour Level:<br />Enter a grand living room with eleven-foot ceilings from a newly restored, historically accurate stoop, and take note of the Eco Hearth ethanol-burning fireplace. In the rear, you'll find a light-filled dining room with its own back staircase down to the kitchen. The floor-to-ceiling windows that cover the back wall afford generous sunlight and beautiful garden views.<br /><br />Third Floor:<br />This entire floor is devoted to the master suite. An enormous Bianco Carrara and Thassos marble master bath with a soaking tub occupies the front of this level, separated from the bedroom by two adjoining walk-in closets. The grand master bedroom features brand new white oak floors, a wet bar, and a secluded reading nook in the back, with copious sunlight flowing in through the glass that covers the back wall. French doors lead to your own private balcony overlooking the garden.<br /><br />Fourth Floor:<br />Two bedrooms occupy this level, which could also be purposed as offices, studios, or dens. The front room has a wet bar, while the rear room leads out to a gorgeous private roof deck. Each room has its own closet and white oak floors. The two rooms share a Statuary marble full bath.<br /><br />Fifth Floor:<br />This floor provides two more generous, full-sized bedrooms, each with white oak floors and their own full bath and closet. If you have children, there will be no arguing over who has a larger or better bedroom!<br /><br />Roof:<br />This glassed-in roof deck will make an exquisite space for entertaining or just getting away from it all. Enjoy a glass of wine as you take in the neighborhood from the top of your building. As a bonus, it's even accessible via the elevator!<br /><br />Cellar Level:<br />With its high ceilings, this finished basement could easily be a rec room or a gym. It hosts a laundry room, a powder room, and brand-new mechanicals and electrics. Between the four inches of insulation and vapor barrier beneath the floor, and the multiple sump pumps, you have remarkable control of the climate and humidity; warmth stays in and moisture stays out.
