Quality like this is rare, and always a valuable choice. The owner of this home is an up-and-coming designer. Her work has been featured in the New York Times as well as on HGTV. This apartment is a magical experience from the moment you walk through the door. It has classic Pre-War details throughout, and, although everything looks as if it has been there for a century or more, the architectural elements were collected by the designer specifically for this renovation. Reclaimed materials include antique doors, mantles, columns, mirrors, hardware, and more. The apartment is well situated in a terrifically run, full service, 1920’s Building, with one of the city’s premiere planted roof deck’s, right in front of beautiful Museum Park, and on one of Manhattan’s most coveted blocks, and has an open loft-style layout. By mixing old and new, the space combines history with modern sensibility. There are tastefully reflective surfaces throughout which add light, sparkle, and dimension.The entry opens into a small space made grand with large curved molding and a curved wall. Two Art Deco era columns provide a smooth transition into the main living area. The Kitchen is open to the Living and Dining Space, making it great for entertaining. The cabinets and pantry were custom made to hold the designer’s extensive collection of vintage china, and crystal. They also conceal all of the designer, top-grade, under-counter appliances from view. Try and find them! Take a look at the microwave and pantry hidden behind mirrored glass doors. The painted cabinets and polished Calcutta Gold counters/backsplash create the look of a vintage butler’s pantry. The mantle and doors are the focal point of the sunny, comfortable Living Room. The doors, added during the renovation, allow light to travel from the adjacent room and add airiness t
