Description

Priorities of light, space and privacy are met with splendor in the 16 superlative residences of 18 Gramercy Park. The celebrated team behind Fifteen Central Park West, Zeckendorf Development and Robert A.M. Stern Architects introduces the next great Manhattan apartment house - a 1927 Georgian Revival building has been respectfully reimagined setting a new standard in downtown living. These full-service pre-war condominium residences are accessed directly via key-locked elevator. Residence 6 is offered among a discreet collection of only 14 full floor homes with 40 feet of frontage on Gramercy Park, 130 feet on Irving Place and windowed corners in nearly every room. Views stretch into and over shaded park lawns, sumptuous foliage, charming neighborhood architecture and a striking view north on Lexington Avenue to the Chrysler building. The 6th floor occupies more than 4200 sf with 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 28 windows and 3 exposures. A large entry foyer and glamorous 7' x 35' gallery leads dramatically into expanses of living and entertaining space including a formal dining room/ library, kitchen and open family room. The living room with direct park views serves as the gallery's ultimate destination and is also accessible through a double door entryway off of the family room. A light filled eat-in kitchen with island and an open family room overlook Irving Place and feature furniture-grade hand-painted cabinetry by Smallbone of Devizes, LeFroy Brooks fittings and accessories, white quartzite countertops and backsplash, Wolf cooking and warming appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage, Miele dishwasher and fully vented hood. The powder room is handsomely finished with a rich Black Onyx vanity, backsplash and floors. With 6 large windows and grand proportions the 27' x 14'10 Master Bedroom also features two full windowed baths providing an ultra-luxurious and private sanctuary with radiant heated floors, a Gris Souris marble slab shower, a Calcutta Caldia marble slab steam shower, and a freestanding cast-iron soaking tub. Secondary bedrooms with en suite baths are perfectly separated from both entertaining spaces and the Master Suite. Thoughtfully curated details include hand-troweled walls and ceilings, rift and quartered white oak flooring and polished marble windowsills. Other highlights include a large-capacity Miehle washer and vented dryer, Lutron lighting control capability, climate-control thermostats in each room, and pre-wiring for shade controls. Amenities include a sleek and serene spa and fitness center, supplemental laundry room, dog wash and two rooftop terraces adjacent to a rooftop reading room. Closings are slated to begin January 2013.
