PERPEKSIYON SA TABI NG PARK

Nasa hinahangad na Gold Coast ng Fifth Avenue, direktang katapat ng Central Park, ang Residence 2A—isang pambihirang tahanang may tatlong silid-tulugan at tatlo’t kalahating banyo na walang kahirap-hirap na pinagsasama ang elegante ng New York bago ang digmaan at sopistikadong makabagong pamumuhay.

Sumailalim ang tirahan sa masusing, ilang taong pagsasaayos na nagkakahalaga ng milyun-milyong dolyar, kabilang ang ganap na pagbabago sa loob nito. Muling idinisenyo ito ng isang kinikilalang pambansang designer upang matugunan ang pinakamataas na pamantayan ng makabagong pamumuhay. Ang resulta ay isang napakagandang tahanang handa nang tirhan at nasa tunay na napakaperpektong kondisyon.

Mula sa maringal na pasukan ay bubukas ang malawak na gitnang gallery, na nagtatatag ng klasikong pakiramdam ng pagdating na katangian ng mahuhusay na apartment sa Fifth Avenue. Sa kabila nito, ang halos 30-talampakang sala ay may magagandang direktang tanawin ng Central Park at namumukod-tangi dahil sa pasadyang millwork, mararangyang hardwood floor, ilaw na hango sa istilong pang-panahon, at wood-burning fireplace na may pasadyang mantel na Carrara marble.

Katabi ng gallery ang isang marikit at maluwang na library—kapwa kaakit-akit bilang den o home office, at ganap na angkop na magsilbing ikatlong silid-tulugan ng tirahan.

Ang tahimik na pangunahing suite ay nakaharap din sa Central Park at nagtatampok ng malawak na pasadyang built-in, malaking walk-in dressing room, at marangyang banyong nababalutan ng marmol na may double vanity at malaki, glass-enclosed na shower.

Sa kabilang dulo ng tirahan, ang maluwang na kusina at dining area ay lumilikha ng tunay na kaaya-ayang lugar para sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay at pagtanggap ng mga panauhin. Kahanga-hanga ang kusinang pangunahing tampok ng tahanan, na may pasadyang cabinetry, dramatikong book-matched marble, sculptural na marble waterfall island, mga makabagong appliance at fixture, at isang napakagandang La Cornue range.

Kaagad sa likod ng kusina, ang staff room/silid-tulugan ay malikhaing nilagyan ng dalawang maganda at pasadyang built-in bunk bed, na nagbibigay ng karagdagang kakayahang gamitin para sa mga panauhin, bata o staff. Kasama ng library, madaling mapagkakasya ng tahanan ang apat na silid-tulugan habang nananatili ang maringal na sukat ng isang klasikong tirahang may tatlong silid-tulugan. May hiwalay na laundry room na naglalaman ng dalawang set ng washing machine at dryer, pati na rin ang service entrance, na kumukumpleto sa pambihirang praktikal na bahaging ito ng tahanan.

Sa buong tirahan ay makikita ang pasadyang millwork, maingat na piniling mga fixture, at makabuluhang detalyeng arkitektural na nagpapakita ng pambihirang pag-iisip at pamumuhunan sa likod ng pagsasaayos. Walang putol na isinama ang makabagong imprastraktura, kabilang ang climate system na kinokontrol ng Nest.

Dinisenyo noong 1925 ng mga tanyag na arkitektong sina Schwartz at Gross, ang 912 Fifth Avenue ay nasa napakahalagang lokasyon sa pagitan ng 72nd at 73rd Streets, ilang sandali lamang mula sa The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue, at pinakamagagandang lugar sa Upper East Side. Ang intimate na full-service cooperative na ito ay binubuo lamang ng 24 na tirahan at nag-aalok ng pambihirang serbisyo at pribasiya, bagong fitness center, pribadong imbakan, at bike room. Pinahihintulutan ang pied-à-terre, pagmamay-ari sa pamamagitan ng trust at LLC, alinsunod sa pag-apruba ng board, pati na rin ang pag-aalaga ng mga aso. Hindi pinahihintulutan ang financing, at may 2% flip tax.

Sa tapat mismo ng mga bintana ang Central Park, kaya ang Residence 2A ay isang pambihirang pagkakataong magkaroon ng ganap at maingat na nabubuong tahanan sa Fifth Avenue—isang tahanang pinag-isipang panibaguhin ang elegante ng New York bago ang digmaan para sa makabagong pamumuhay.

PERFECTION ON THE PARK

Set on Fifth Avenue's coveted Gold Coast, directly across from Central Park, Residence 2A is an exceptional three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home that seamlessly marries the elegance of prewar New York with sophisticated contemporary living.

The subject of a meticulous, multi-year, multimillion-dollar gut renovation, the residence was completely reimagined to meet the highest standards of modern living by a nationally recognized designer. The result is a beautiful home in truly turnkey, triple-mint condition.

A gracious entry opens to a broad central gallery, establishing the classic sense of arrival that defines the great Fifth Avenue apartments. Beyond, the nearly 30-foot living room enjoys beautiful direct views of Central Park and is distinguished by custom millwork, rich hardwood floors, period-inspired lighting and a wood-burning fireplace with a custom Carrara marble mantel.

Adjoining the gallery is a handsome, generously proportioned library - equally compelling as a den or home office and perfectly suited to serve as the residence's third bedroom.

The serene primary suite also faces Central Park and features extensive custom built-ins, a large walk-in dressing room and a luxurious marble-clad bath with double vanity and oversized glass-enclosed shower.

At the opposite end of the residence, the expansive kitchen and dining area create a wonderfully inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The showplace kitchen is remarkable, with custom cabinetry, dramatic book-matched marble, a sculptural marble waterfall island, state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures, and a magnificent La Cornue range.

Just beyond the kitchen, a staff room/bedroom has been ingeniously fitted with two beautifully crafted custom built-in bunk beds, providing additional flexibility for guests, children or staff. Together with the library, the home can readily accommodate four bedrooms while retaining the gracious proportions of a classic three-bedroom residence. A separate laundry room includes two sets of washers and dryers and the service entrance complete this exceptionally functional wing.

Throughout, there is bespoke millwork, carefully selected fixtures and substantial architectural detailing reflecting the extraordinary thought and investment behind the renovation. Modern infrastructure, including a Nest-controlled climate system, has been seamlessly integrated.

Designed in 1925 by renowned architects Schwartz & Gross, 912 Fifth Avenue occupies a prized position between 72nd and 73rd Streets, moments from The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue and the very best of the Upper East Side. This intimate full-service cooperative comprises just 24 residences and offers exceptional service and privacy, a new fitness center, private storage, and a bike room. Pied-à-terre, trust and LLC ownership are permitted, subject to board approval, as are dogs. Financing is not permitted, and a 2% flip tax applies.

With Central Park just outside the windows, Residence 2A is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully-realized Fifth Avenue home - one where the elegance of prewar New York has been thoughtfully renewed for contemporary life.
