Originally two bedrooms, this triple mint, newly renovated ~1800 SF sun-flooded duplex at the sought after Hotel des Artistes cooperative is currently configured as a luxurious one-bedroom. This one-of-a-kind-gorgeous offering includes a renovated staff room with half bath and washer dryer on the same floor. Ceilings soar to nearly 19-feet in the Living Room; the 14-foot casement windows flood the space with south and east light. The Dining and Living Rooms are separated by pocket doors, providing an easy flow from the spectacularly renovated Kitchen to the Dining Room with balcony overlooking the dome of the neighboring church. The Kitchen is outfitted with top appliances and copper-clad venting hood. Architecture buffs will appreciate the work of Smithsonian conservators who restored the beamed and effusively painted ceiling, as well as the window iron work, the magnificent carved woodwork of the stairs, balustrade and banister and the carved stone wood-burning fireplace. Up the architecturally significant staircase, the serene bedroom suite enjoys south light and a peak of Central Park. A huge walk-in closet which previously served as a second bedroom could be restored to a bedroom should that be preferable. The marble-clad primary bathroom features a deep-soaking tub and separate stall shower. A powder room on this level was added for convenience. Central air cools the space. All of the light fixtures are either antiques or custom. The hardware, door knobs, and light switches were painstakingly restored, are of the finest quality and hand-selected to reflect the original ambiance of the residence. Even the soaring curtains are custom and there are remote-controlled window shades throughout the entire apartment. Guests can stay in the nearby staff room, included in the sale and also located on the sixth floor. There’s a half bath and washer dryer (which could be swapped for a shower). Hotel des Artistes is one of the most amenitized cooperatives on Central Park West. In addition to a fitness center, squash court, swimming pool, bike storage and high-walled roof deck, shareholders enjoy room service from, and a discounted dining rate at, the adjacent acclaimed Leopard restaurant. Attended elevators ensure convenience and security. Located across from Central Park and nearby Lincoln Center, scores of excellent dining and food options, museums and mass transportation. Built in 1917 with 18 stories and a gothic-style facade, the des Artistes has been home over the years to many of NYC’s illustrious personalities such as Noel Coward, Isadora Duncan, NYC Mayor John V. Lindsay, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell and Joel Grey, among many others. Pet friendly, 50% financing allowed and pieds-a-terre permitted.
