McKim Mead & White Classic Six
THE APARTMENT
This generous high floor classic six is positioned steps from Sutton Place Park in an elegant prewar full-service cooperative building. Sunlight from two exposures and the quiet of gardens below lend serenity to the spacious floor plan of this apartment.

A meticulous 1990’s renovation includes a magnificent wood-burning fireplace, beautiful cherry wood built-ins, crown moldings and marble fixtures throughout the living areas. Expertly sourced finishes and additional features include: oak floors, separate office/staff room with washer/dryer, and butler’s pantry, deep custom closets with automatic lighting, a walk-in linen closet, cedar bedroom closets, and discreet, powerful, two-zone dual unit central air conditioning.

With ceilings reaching over 9 feet high, all windows are modern tilt-and-turn double paned with excellent sound and temperature insulation qualities, and most are six feet high due to low Dutch-style sills. Dimmers for light fixtures are installed throughout.

The master bedroom has an en-suite marble bath with a soaking tub. The second marble bath with a large glass enclosed shower is located in the hallway just outside the second bedroom.

The 1980’s kitchen is ready for a simple upgrade, or can be combined with the existing butler’s pantry/dining area and even the office/staff room to create a grand 19′×21′ EIK.

THE BUILDING
This building was designed by the renowned architectural firm of McKim Mead and White in the 1920’s and features a courtyard, gym, bicycle room & laundry room. The outstanding staff includes a doorman, elevator operator and live-in super.
