Postoje renovirane rezidencije, a zatim postoje rezidencije renovirane poput ove. Stan 4B na adresi 40 West 55th je potpuno renoviran dvosobni, dvo kupatilski dom, gdje je svaki detalj pažljivo odabran i to se vidi u svakoj sobi. Ulazni hol odmah privlači pažnju širokim parketom od bijelog hrasta, umjetničkim djelima osvijetljenim u galerijskom stilu, i prilagođenom konzolom od drveta s prirodnim rubom koja postavlja ton za ono što slijedi.

Dnevna soba, koja se proteže više od 22 stope, svijetla je s velikim prozorima koji se otvaraju na način okretanja i naginjanja. Ipak, prostor je i dalje topao, s dramatičnim kaminom od Emperador mramora od poda do stropa. Rubovi su obloženi prilagođenim ugradbenim policama od orahovog drva, integriranim osvjetljenjem i teksturiranim zidovima. Ova soba pruža mogućnosti za opuštanje i zabavu.

Formalna blagovaonica je jedno od najupečatljivijih prostora u rezidenciji. Prilagođeni ormari od orahovog drva protežu se uz tri zida. Skulpturalni kristalni luster čini središnju točku sobe. Namjenski mokri bar je besprijekorno uklopljen u drvenariju; s ugrađenim dvostrukim hladnjakom za vino i pića. S egzotičnim površinama od brazilske plave Bahia kvarcite, gornjim ormarićima s staklenim prednjim dijelovima i ručno livenim ginkgo hardverom, to je prostor koji čini zabavu jednostavnom. Za kupce koji ne trebaju formalnu blagovaonicu, prostor se lijepo može pretvoriti u kućnu biblioteku ili drugu salonsku sobu.

Kuhinja je renovirana do standarda koji rijetko viđate u dvosobnim stanovima iz doba prije rata, uključujući: Fantasy Macaubas kvarcitne pultove i prozorske daske, Opalina staklene pločice u obliku pločica, Waypoint javorove ormariće, Ruvati sudoperu od nehrđajućeg čelika s mostnim slavinom i potpuno novim uređajem za odlaganje, Samsung hladnjak s francuskim vratima i GE Profile perilicu posuđa. Odvojeni servisni ulaz iz kuhinje je praktična luksuzna opcija koju stanari zgrada s punom uslugom zaista cijene.

Glavna spavaća soba je osvijetljena sunčevim svjetlom s toplim hrastovim podovima, dizajnerskim stropnim ventilatorom od mesinga i prilagođenim vratima ormara s podignutim panelima koja govore o razini dovršenosti. Uključuje veliki ormar, prilagođeno izgrađen s mjerom izrađenim hardverom. Kupaonica s prozorem u sklopu je završena iznimnim standardom s mozaik pločicama od mramora, kadom za kupanje, Kohlerovim HydroRail sustavom tuširanja s uravnoteženim pritiskom i hardverom u brušenom zlatu, prilagođenim lebdećim umivaonikom s kamenim pultom i skulpturalnom stropnom lampom s više globusa.

Druga spavaća soba je jednako svijetla s novoinstaliranim stropnim svjetlima i usklađenim sconces koji osvjetljavaju skupocjeni venecijanski plaster. Ovo, zajedno s prilagođenim walk-in ormarom, dočarava osjećaj druge glavne spavaće sobe. U blizini, druga kupaonica sadrži walk-in Delta tuš sustav, staklenu kabinu bez okvira, keramičke pločice velikih formata i mramorni pult s poliranim niklovim slavinama.

Potpuno novi kroz-zidni klima uređaj opslužuje svaku sobu, besprijekorno prikriven unutar prilagođene drvenarije koja također omogućava jednostavno podešavanje temperature. Skladište je izvanredno za rezidenciju ove veličine, s prilagođenim ugradbenim ormarima posvuda i dvije dodatne privatne jedinice za skladištenje u zgradi koje se prenosivaju uz prodaju.

40 West 55th Street je predratni kondominij projektiran 1924. godine od strane Rosario Candela koji je prošao obnovu od 3,5 milijuna dolara predstavljenu u The New York Timesu. Zgrada je vraćena u svoj izvorni stambeni raspored s unaprijeđenim mehaničkim sustavima, restauriranim teraco podovima u predvorju i freskom na stropu u venecijanskom stilu. Sadržaji uključuju vrataara s punim radnim vremenom, dizalo i zajedničku praonicu rublja. Kućni ljubimci su dobrodošli. Samo trenutak od Central Parka, MoMA-e, Carnegie Hall-a, Rockefeller Centra i Pethe avenije, ova rezidencija nudi uzvišeni i iznimno praktičan način života u Midtownu.

There are renovated residences, and then there are residences renovated like this. 4B at 40 West 55th is a fully gut-renovated two-bedroom, two-bath home where every finish was chosen with intention and it shows in every room. The entry foyer draws you in immediately with the wide-plank original white oak floors, gallery-lit one of a kind artwork, and a custom live-edge wood console that sets the tone for what follows.

The living room, which spans over 22 feet, is bright with large tilt-and-turn, airy windows. Yet the space is still warm, with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Emperador marble wood-burning fireplace. The edges are flanked by custom walnut built-in shelving, integrated lighting, and textured walls. This room provides both options for relaxing and entertaining.

The formal dining room is one of the most remarkable spaces in the residence. Custom floor-to ceiling walnut cabinetry wraps three walls. A sculptural crystal chandelier anchors the room. The dedicated wet bar nook is tucked seamlessly into the millwork; complete with a built-in dual zone wine and beverage fridge. With exotic Brazilian Blue Bahia quartzite countertops, glass-front upper cabinets, and hand-cast ginkgo hardware throughout, it is the kind of room that makes entertaining feel effortless. For buyers who don't need a formal dining room, the space converts

beautifully to a home library or second sitting room.

The kitchen was renovated to a standard you rarely see in a prewar two-bedroom including: Fantasy Macaubas quartzite countertops and window sill, Opalina glass subway tile backsplash, Waypoint maple cabinetry, a Ruvati undermount stainless sink with a bridge faucet with brand new disposal, Samsung counter-depth French door refrigerator, and a GE Profile dishwasher. A separate service entrance off the kitchen is a practical luxury that residents of full-service buildings genuinely appreciate.

The primary bedroom is a sun-filled room with warm oak floors, a designer brass ceiling fan, and custom raised-panel millwork closet doors that speak to the level of finish throughout. It includes a large closet, custom built out with bespoke hardware. The windowed en-suite bath is finished to an exceptional standard with marble mosaic tile wainscoting, a soaking tub, a Kohler HydroRail pressure-balanced shower system with brushed gold hardware, a custom floating vanity with stone countertop, and a sculptural multi-globe ceiling fixture.

The second bedroom is equally bright with newly installed ceiling lights and matching sconces that illuminate expensive venetian plaster. This along with the walk-in custom closet gives the feel of a second primary bedroom. Close by, the second bath features a walk-in Delta shower system, frameless glass enclosure, large-format porcelain tile, and a marble vanity top with polished nickel fixtures.

Brand new through-wall air conditioning serves every room, seamlessly concealed within custom millwork that also allows for easy temperature adjustment. Storage is exceptional for a residence of this size, with custom built-in cabinetry throughout and two additional private storage units in the building that transfer with the sale.

40 West 55th Street is a 1924 Rosario Candela-designed prewar condominium that underwent a $3.5M restoration featured in The New York Times. The building was returned to its original residential layout with upgraded mechanical systems, restored terrazzo lobby floors, and a Venetian-style fresco ceiling. Amenities include a full-time door attendant, elevator, and common laundry. Pets are welcome. Just moments from Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue, this residence offers an elevated and exceptionally convenient Midtown lifestyle.
