Rare and wonderful, this very special 7 room prewar at The Alameda 255 West 84th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side beckons with its style and charm. Its sumptuous texture is borne of its incredible architectural provenance and is as much ado about the love its owners put into make it a home where people would feel inspired and welcome. Designed by Spruce Design and Decor the designers took full advantage of the home’s elegant flow.
Off a semi private elevator landing one enters into a stunning entry gallery and is immediately aware of the home’s style and grace showcasing high ceilings, French doors, hardwood floors and peeks into the living room, dining room and wine gallery. With the help of the design team the owners created the heart of this home by transforming what was a breakfast room into an extraordinary Wine Gallery with refrigeration, dining space and a custom made staging area to display ones bottles, crystal and such. The Wine Gallery flows seamlessly into a perfectly laid out chef’s windowed kitchen featuring a classic Viking 6 burner range with a grill and double ovens. Ample custom cabinetry both enclosed and glass front make for great storage and display and generous countertops make for easy preparation.
The airy living and dining rooms are open to one another and feature beautiful built-ins for display of artifacts, photography, mementos and books. Large east facing windows offer not only an exceptionally bright exposure, but from this high floor perch you will enjoy classic views of New York’s Upper West Side skyline including many of the famous towers on Central Park West. The maids room is quite the surprise. Stunning glass front built in wardrobes have been created as well as a smartly designed custom “SURPRISE” guest bed that pops out of the wall unit like a Murphy bed. In the maids room there is a renovated en suit windowed half bathroom and a Bosch washer dryer. Central Air keeps the entertaining wing cool no matter how many guests you are entertaining!
The bedroom wing is to the south of the entry gallery. The oversized master has three large wardrobe closets, a beautifully renovated windowed bath with double sinks and large step in shower stall and is adorned with stunning marble basket weave tiling and marble counter tops. The guest bedroom is spacious with a large closet and renovated en suite windowed bath.
