May mga na-renovate na mga tahanan, at may mga tahanan na na-renovate ng ganitong klase. Ang 4B sa 40 West 55th ay isang ganap na na-gut na renovated na dalawang silid-tulugan, dalawang banyo na tahanan kung saan bawat detalye ay pinili ng may layunin at ito ay makikita sa bawat silid. Ang pasukang foyer ay agad kang hinihikayat sa malalawak na orihinal na puting oak na sahig, ang gallery-lit na isa sa isang uri ng sining, at isang custom na live-edge wood console na nagbibigay ng tono sa mga sumusunod.

Ang sala, na umaabot ng higit sa 22 talampakan, ay maliwanag na may malalaking tilt-and-turn, magaan na bintana. Gayunpaman, ang espasyo ay mainit pa rin, na may dramatikong fireplace na gawa sa Emperador marble mula sahig hanggang kisame. Ang mga gilid ay napapalibutan ng custom na walnut built-in shelving, integrated lighting, at textured walls. Nagbibigay ang silid na ito ng mga opsyon para sa pagpapahinga at pag-aaliw.

Ang pormal na dining room ay isa sa mga pinaka-kahanga-hangang espasyo sa tahanan. Ang custom na walnut cabinetry na umaabot mula sahig hanggang kisame ay umuukit sa tatlong pader. Isang sculptural crystal chandelier ang nagtutulak sa silid. Ang nakalaang wet bar nook ay maayos na naipasok sa millwork; kumpleto sa built-in na dual zone wine at beverage fridge. Sa mga exotic na Brazilian Blue Bahia quartzite countertops, glass-front upper cabinets, at hand-cast ginkgo hardware sa buong silid, ito ay isang klaseng silid na ginagawang madali ang pag-aaliw. Para sa mga mamimili na hindi kailangang magkaroon ng pormal na dining room, ang espasyo ay maaaring mag-convert nang maganda sa isang home library o pangalawang sitting room.

Ang kusina ay na-renovate sa isang pamantayang bihirang makita sa isang prewar na dalawang silid-tulugan na kinabibilangan ng: Fantasy Macaubas quartzite countertops at window sill, Opalina glass subway tile backsplash, Waypoint maple cabinetry, isang Ruvati undermount stainless sink na may bridge faucet na may bagong disposal, Samsung counter-depth French door refrigerator, at GE Profile dishwasher. Isang hiwalay na service entrance mula sa kusina ay isang praktikal na luho na tunay na pinahahalagahan ng mga residente ng mga full-service na gusali.

Ang pangunahing silid-tulugan ay isang maliwanag na silid na may mainit na oak na sahig, isang designer brass ceiling fan, at custom na raised-panel millwork na mga pinto ng closet na nagsasalita sa antas ng pagtatapos sa kabuuan. Kasama dito ang isang malaking closet na custom na itinayo na may bespoke hardware. Ang may bintanang en-suite bath ay natapos sa isang pambihirang pamantayan na may marble mosaic tile wainscoting, isang soaking tub, isang Kohler HydroRail pressure-balanced shower system na may brushed gold hardware, isang custom floating vanity na may batong countertop, at isang sculptural multi-globe ceiling fixture.

Ang pangalawang silid-tulugan ay pantay na maliwanag na may bagong install na mga ceiling lights at magkakatugma na sconces na nagbibigay liwanag sa mahal na venetian plaster. Ito kasama ang custom walk-in closet ay nagbibigay ng pakiramdam ng pangalawang pangunahing silid-tulugan. Malapit dito, ang pangalawang banyo ay nagtatampok ng walk-in Delta shower system, frameless glass enclosure, malalaking porselana tile, at marble vanity top na may polished nickel fixtures.

Ang bagong-bagong through-wall air conditioning ay nagsisilbi sa bawat silid, maayos na nakatago sa loob ng custom millwork na nagbibigay-daan din para sa madaling adjustment ng temperatura. Ang imbakan ay pambihira para sa isang tahanan ng ganitong laki, na may custom built-in cabinetry sa buong tahanan at dalawang karagdagang pribadong storage units sa gusali na kasama sa pagbebenta.

Ang 40 West 55th Street ay isang 1924 na dinisenyo ni Rosario Candela na prewar condominium na sumailalim sa isang $3.5M restoration na itinampok sa The New York Times. Ang gusali ay ibinalik sa orihinal nitong residential layout na may mga upgraded mechanical systems, naibalik na terrazzo lobby floors, at isang Venetian-style fresco ceiling. Kasama sa mga amenities ang full-time door attendant, elevator, at common laundry. Ang mga alagang hayop ay tinatanggap. Sa ilang hakbang mula sa Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, at Fifth Avenue, nag-aalok ang tahanang ito ng isang mataas at napaka-maginhawang Midtown lifestyle.

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.
