Description

Searching for a large luxury apartment with nearly 3,000 square feet, more than 200 square feet of private outdoor space and unobstructed views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, sunrises and sunsets? You may want to expand your search. Perched on the 26th floor of Fifth on the Park, Residence 26D offers approximately 2,890 square feet, 245 square feet of private balcony space, floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed 270-degree views across east, west and south exposures. The current owners selected 26D for its exceptional proportions, open layout and dramatic outlook, then worked with their architect and contractors on an extensive gut renovation. The result is a highly customized home with sophisticated finishes, integrated technology and thoughtful architectural details. The expansive living and dining areas flow east to west, surrounded by windows and opening onto the balcony. Custom planters offer the opportunity for an elevated garden. Original concrete columns were uncovered and polished, while a custom window seat with built-in storage occupies the southwest corner. At the heart of the home is a chef-quality kitchen with an approximately 18-foot island incorporating a wine refrigerator and two dishwashers. Custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a GE Monogram gas double oven and grill, and a walk-in pantry with a large EuroCave wine refrigerator complete the space. The flexible layout currently provides three bedrooms, with the original fourth incorporated into the primary suite as an expansive walk-in dressing room and separate windowed home office. It can be converted back to a fourth bedroom. The primary suite also features additional storage and a renovated bathroom with a large walk-in shower and accessibility features. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent light and ample closets, with a second full bathroom with tub nearby. White oak hardwood floors finished in a pale grey stain extend throughout, while custom washi paper panels created by a Japanese artist enhance selected doors. Lutron solar shades and lighting are installed throughout, with blackout shades in the bedrooms. Five HVAC wall units, three serving the living areas and two serving the bedrooms, are individually programmed through Savant, which also controls lighting, shades and fans. Concealed wiring supports high-quality audio, and select Linn Akurate 212 speakers, additional Linn speakers and NAD M10 integrated amplifiers may be included with an acceptable sale. Additional conveniences include abundant storage, an in-unit washer and dryer and a powder room.
