Property Description

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence where bespoke design and modern elegance blend seamlessly to create a serene yet sophisticated urban retreat. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an atmosphere of refined luxury, beginning with wide plank white oak flooring stained in a deep cocoa finish, which sets a warm and inviting tone throughout. This corner unit, with its prized northwestern exposure, is bathed in natural light pouring through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, drawing your eye to dynamic city views that stretch across the skyline.

The entry flows naturally into the expansive great room, a space that invites both relaxation and celebration. Your gaze is immediately drawn to an exquisite accent wall, crafted in a marble mosaic pattern, that adds a striking focal point to the room. The open-concept layout ensures effortless transitions between lounging, dining, and entertaining, with a fluidity that maximizes the generous proportions of the space. Adjoining the great room is a private balcony, a true extension of your living area where you can savor your morning coffee, unwind with a book, or host an intimate evening gathering while enjoying the cityscape as your backdrop.

The open chef's kitchen is both a culinary haven and a design masterpiece. Centered around a sleek breakfast bar, the kitchen is thoughtfully outfitted with high-gloss cabinetry that provides ample storage and gleams under recessed lighting. The pristine white quartz countertops and a full suite of premium Bosch and Liebherr appliances, including a built-in wine fridge, ensure that every culinary need is met with style and efficiency. A windowed corner of the kitchen creates the perfect nook for enjoying casual meals or watching the city come to life during breakfast.

As you transition to the west-facing bedroom, you'll discover a private sanctuary designed for comfort and indulgence. Generously proportioned and filled with light, the bedroom not only offers breathtaking open views but also features a custom-designed walk-in dressing room that is nothing short of a dream. Thoughtfully crafted to maximize storage and elegance, this dressing room leads you to the en-suite primary bath, a spa-like retreat designed for tranquility. Here, you'll find a standing shower with a built-in bench, an LED-lit medicine cabinet, and a sleek TOTO toilet, all set against a backdrop of clean, modern finishes.

The home's additional features are as practical as they are stylish. A discreetly placed Bosch washer/dryer is housed within the chic half bath, while custom window shades and recessed lighting throughout add to the home's polished aesthetic. Every detail has been considered to provide a lifestyle of ease and comfort.

Set within the prestigious Sterling Plaza, this residence is part of a full-service condominium that epitomizes Manhattan luxury living. Residents benefit from the attentiveness of a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, and a live-in resident manager, ensuring that every need is promptly met. The building's prime location places you at the epicenter of New York's finest offerings, from the iconic United Nations and Grand Central Terminal to world-class shopping along Fifth Avenue and the lush expanse of Central Park. With the E, M, and 6 trains just two blocks away, every corner of the city is easily within reach.

This bespoke residence is more than a home; it's an experience. A sanctuary of style, sophistication, and convenience, it invites you to step inside and imagine a life where every moment is elevated.
