Bolig 4S på 88 Central Park West, The Brentmore, blev nedrevet til sin struktur og genopbygget over tre år, den renovering som ejerne drømmer om, men sjældent har tid, forståelse og udholdenhed til at gennemføre. Resultatet er moderne i hvert system og finish og tro mod 1910-arkitekturen i hver detalje, der definerer det. Boligen er nu tilgængelig for første gang i 33 år.

Siddende i den perfekte højde langs ruten for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade på Central Park West, er boligen konfigureret som tre soveværelser, tre badeværelser, plus et generøst dimensioneret bibliotek/media rum, med mere end 47 lineære fod facade direkte mod Central Park. The Brentmore er en 1910 Beaux-Arts co-op designet af Schwartz & Gross, beliggende indenfor det fredede Central Park West Historic District. Dens historiske fortælling, inklusiv generationer af beboere fremtrædende inden for film, musik og medier, er gennem årtierne blevet dokumenteret af The New York Times.

Færdiggjort i 2009, var renoveringen en tre-årig proces, der strakte sig fra de indledende arkitekttegninger til den endelige godkendelse. Ni måneder gik der alene til tegninger og godkendelser, før byggeriet begyndte, inklusive godkendelse fra NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission specifikt for vinduerne. Den sjældenhed, som denne disciplin skaber, er nu en del af det, en køber erhverver med boligen. Det er også blevet vedligeholdt på samme standard lige siden, og bygningen har for nylig gennemført en fuld restaurering af sine elevatorer.

Unik for bygningens sydside, betjener elevatoren én bolig pr. etage og åbner på 4S ind til en privat vestibule, der fører ind til en storslået foyer, med de vigtigste rum strålende derfra. Wenge-gulve, færdigbehandlet i en dyb ebony-lakse, løber kontinuerligt gennem foajeen, korridorerne, køkkenet, spisestuen og stuen. Stuen og biblioteket, begge med udsigt over parken, rummer boligens mere end 47 lineære fod facade mod Central Park imellem dem. Disse er generøse rum, dimensioneret til at underholde et fuldt hus og ikke mindre sammensatte på en stille aften. Bolig 4S ligger inden for en af kun to etager i bygningen, sammen med den 11. etage, udstyret med sine Juliette-balkoner, placeret direkte langs ruten for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade på Central Park West. Spisestuen fuldender rækken af underholdningsrum. Boligen har fået en fuld installation af skræddersyede dobbelthængte mahogni-vinduer, inklusive spisestuens bay-vinduer, som autentisk replikerer bygningens oprindelige 1910-design, en sjælden detalje, da få sådanne vinduer har overlevet eller siden er blevet restaureret i The Brentmore.

Køkkenet for kokken parrer gulv-til-loft højlakeret hvidt kabinet med to øer beklædt med Makassar ebony under Absolute Black granit, og næsten alt i det kommer i to. Dobbeltkøling ledsages af fire køleskuffes, en ismaskine og vinopbevaring til mere end 150 flasker. To hastighedsover, to ekstra ovne og to varmeskuffer flankerer en seks-blus komfur. Det er et køkken specifikt til det samme fulde hus, som stuen var dimensioneret til at underholde.

Det generøse hovedsuite har et walk-in closet måler 16'7" x 8', færdiggjort i engelsk hvid platanfinér med en klar-lakeret ahorn indvendig, tilpassede læderhåndtag og et indbygget pengeskab. Det fem-armede hovedbad er bygget af fulde stenplader, Olympic Gray marmor på væggene, Absolute Black granit under fødderne, og gulvene er opvarmede.

De sekundære soveværelser tilbyder privatliv og separation fra hovedsuiten. Det private sekundære soveværelse off den bageste fløj af boligen har en væg af indbyggede skabe og eget badeværelse, færdiggjort i store marmorplader med bløde grå åretegninger på både vægge og gulv, også opvarmet. Det tredje soveværelse ligger lige overfor boligens tredje badeværelse, et støvværelse færdiggjort i varm, brun-tonet marmor med

Residence 4S at 88 Central Park West, The Brentmore, was taken down to its structure and rebuilt over three years, the renovation owners dream of but rarely have the time, understanding, and endurance to accomplish. The result is modern in every system and finish, and faithful to the 1910 architecture in every detail that defines it. The residence is now available for the first time in 33 years.

Perched at the perfect elevation along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West, the residence is configured as three bedrooms, three bathrooms, plus a generously scaled library/media room, with more than 47 linear feet of frontage directly on Central Park. The Brentmore is a 1910 Beaux-Arts co-op designed by Schwartz & Gross, sited within the landmarked Central Park West Historic District. Its storied history, including generations of residents prominent in film, music, and media, has been chronicled over the decades by The New York Times.

Completed in 2009, the renovation was a three-year process that ran from initial architectural drawings through final sign-off. Nine months went into drawings and approvals alone before construction began, including sign-off from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for the windows specifically. The rarity that discipline creates is now part of what a buyer is purchasing along with the residence itself. It has also been maintained at that same standard ever since and the building recently completed a full restoration of its elevators.

Unique to the south side of the building, the elevator serves one residence per floor and opens at 4S onto a private vestibule that leads into a grand foyer, with the principal rooms radiating from there. Wenge flooring, finished in a deep ebony stain, runs continuously through the foyer, corridors, kitchen, dining room, and living room. The living room and the library, both park-facing, hold the residence's more than 47 linear feet of Central Park frontage between them. These are generous rooms, scaled to entertain a full house and no less composed on a quiet evening. Residence 4S sits within one of only two floors in the building, along with the 11th, fitted with its Juliette balconies, positioned directly along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West. The dining room completes the run of entertaining spaces. The residence received a full brick-to-brick installation of custom double-hung mahogany windows, including the dining room's bay windows, which authentically replicate the building's original 1910 design, a rare detail, as few such windows have survived or since been restored at The Brentmore.

The chef's kitchen pairs floor-to-ceiling high-gloss white lacquer cabinetry with two islands faced in Makassar ebony beneath Absolute Black granite, and nearly everything in it comes in twos. Dual refrigeration is joined by four refrigerator drawers, an ice machine, and wine storage for more than 150 bottles. Two speed ovens, two additional ovens, and two warming drawers flank a six-burner cooktop. It is a kitchen specified for the same full house the living room was scaled to entertain.

The generous primary suite features a walk-in closet measuring 16'7" x 8', finished in English White sycamore veneer with a clear-lacquered maple interior, custom leather pulls, and a built-in safe. The five-fixture primary bath is built from full slabs of stone, Olympic Gray marble on the walls, Absolute Black granite underfoot, the floors heated.

The secondary bedrooms offer privacy and separation from the primary suite. The private secondary bedroom off the back wing of the residence offers a wall of built-in closets and its own en-suite bath, finished in large marble slabs with soft gray veining on both walls and floor, also heated. The third bedroom sits directly across the hall from the residence's third bathroom, a powder room finished in warm, brown-toned marble with
