BACK ON THE MARKET...This dramatic contemporary design atelier at the Hotel des Artistes has it all. Designed by architect Vibeke Lichten as a home for her and her husband, the duplex features an expansive great room with a floating staircase to the second level. With a soaring 18’9” ceiling and 15’9” north-facing window, this corner residence is bathed in light from 3 exposures: North, West, South. The first floor offers a wood-burning fireplace and spectacular open city views with a side view of Central Park. There is a separate windowed dining space as well as a breakfast bar. The open, windowed chef’s kitchen has custom cabinetry, including a large pantry and quartz countertops. It also has top of the line appliances: 2 full size SubZero refrigerators including one for your wine collection, an Italian oven (vented out) and a Miele dishwasher. At the entry foyer is a powder room.

Up the dramatic staircase are 2 primary bedrooms; both with ensuite baths. The first primary has two exposures, South and West and the bathroom features a shower that is also a sauna. The second primary has a Miele washer/dryer and a large bathroom with both an oversized tub and a shower. An open library on this floor could be used as a bedroom loft or enclosed for a 3rd private bedroom.

This exceptional residence has Sonos surround sound and 5-zoned central air conditioning as well as beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Once the home/studio of the artist Howard Chandler Christy, who painted the murals of dancing nymphs for the des Artistes restaurant, Residence 707 has been meticulously renovated and maintained by the current owners, making it a lovely home for comfortable living and elegant entertaining. There is also a separate staff room on the 7th floor offered for an additional price.

The Hotel des Artistes is a full service cooperative with amenities not often available in pre-war buildings, including full-time concierge and elevator operator, a swimming pool, a squash court with a basketball hoop, two workout rooms as well as a charming high-walled roof deck. On the ground floor is a beautiful restaurant with fanciful murals of frolicking nymps painted by the resident artist Howard Chandler Christy in 1934. A new restaurateur will be taking over the charming space later this year, offering des Artistes residents room service and discount dining. Ideally located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the Hotel des Artistes is close to the nature of Central Park, the cultural events of Lincoln Center and boutique shopping and popular dining on Columbus Avenue.

Built in 1917 as a home for artists, the Hotel des Artistes is a majestic 18-story building with a Gothic-style facade featuring charming gargoyles of painters, sculptors and writers. Designed by the architect George Mort Pollard, the building has been home to many of the famed and illustrious, including Noel Coward, Isadora Duncan, writer Fannie Hurst, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell and Joel Grey.
