Gramercy Starck at 340 East 23rd St. #8M

BACK ON THE MARKET AFTER UPDATING AND RENOVATING THE APARTMENT- shows as new! Please email for a video of the updated unit. Nestled within an opulent luxury building meticulously curated by renowned designer Philippe Starck, this extraordinary 3-bedroom (2 flex), 2.5-bath condominium stands as a singular residence, meticulously renovated to embody modern elegance with a keen eye for detail. Originally a two-bedroom unit, the space was thoughtfully converted into a three-bedroom, optimizing both living areas and sleeping quarters. The flex wall can be removed to make it a two bedroom unit again.

This exceptional home boasts generously sized bedrooms, each accompanied by spa-inspired bathrooms, and an expansive layout designed for seamless entertaining. The outdoor balcony, bathed in southern exposure, offers breathtaking city views. The radiant heat flooring throughout the entire unit further contributes to its unique charm.

The kitchen is a masterpiece of sophistication, featuring white stone countertops, a built-in granite island, a 500-bottle wine fridge, a garbage disposal, and an artistic backsplash. High-end appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator with double freezer drawers, a Miele oven/cooktop, and a Fisher Paykel dishwasher. Luxurious Thassos white-stone vanities, flooring, and walls adorn the pristine bathrooms, with the master bath showcasing a Starck-designed deep soaking tub and a separate shower stall.

Sunlight floods the expansive open-plan living room through floor-to-ceiling windows, leading to the private balcony with sweeping views of Downtown Manhattan. Both the living room and master bedroom feature working fireplaces. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, three walk-in closets, a built-in armoire in the master bedroom, a multi-zone HVAC system, and a state-of-the-art Crestron wireless electronics system for home automation and audio/video control.

Constructed in 2008, this gleaming modernist mid-rise is situated in a tranquil Gramercy location. The full-service condominium offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a 2,600-square-foot fitness center with sauna and steam room, and a full-floor lounge with an outdoor terrace, screening room, and billiards room. A landscaped roof deck with stunning river/city views and private cabanas enhances the allure of this trophy apartment.

The enviable location places Gramercy’s renowned dining and drinking establishments within walking distance, with easy access to the vibrancy of Union Square and Madison Square. Convenient transportation options abound, with the M15 Select and M23 buses stopping right outside the building, and the 6 train just a short walk away.
