Description
Enchanting views up and down the Hudson are just one of the beguiling features of this exquisitely renovated 3 bedroom home, originally a classic 8. Apartment 9A was conceived by Rosario Candela. According to NY Times critic Christopher Gray: "At no time in New York City's history were grander apartments built than in the late 1920s, and, by...universal agreement, no architect designed them better than Rosario Candela." Filled with sunlight and river and city panoramas, Apt 9A reflects 'the complete orientation that one expects in a great country house," scaled for an urban setting. 'Privacy is an attribute of good living' was Mr. Candela's creed, accomplished exceptionally well by his plan for Apt 9A which "lets the visitor immediately know the extent of the house, and the public, private and service zones – all simply from the reception hall." A tranquil panorama of all day sun, landmarked mansions and an equestrian statue of General Franz Sigel enriches the splendid living room unfolding south from the aforesaid entrance gallery. The north side of the central hall opens into a serene formal dining room. Proceeding though a spacious serving pantry, one arrives in a perfect chef's kitchen fitted out with abundant custom cabinetry, fine stone counters, a 42 inch Bosch refrigerator freezer, a Viking cooktop, Thermidor double wall oven and a temp controlled wine storage unit. The two original staff quarters have been transformed into a delightful breakfast room and home office with a full bath and an addictive Hudson view. A Miele washer and efficient heat pump dryer are in a separate closet. West of the foyer reside three peaceful bedrooms, each with their individual river view. A verdant expanse of trees, water and a glimpse of the GW Bridge animate the first bedroom. The second bedroom and especially the primary bedroom with a new bath ensuite look southwest to an ever-changing parade of stunning sunsets that enthralled the indigenous Lenape long before there was a New Amsterdam. Ceilings are high; floors are beautifully finished white and red oak. The space is serviced by a new CAC system and myriad closets. A wide choice of restos, including, some say, the top 10 bagels and pizza in town are steps away as is all manner of local transportation. 315 West 106thStreet residents enjoy the 24/7 support of doormen and a superlative live-in resident manager. There are bike and laundry rooms. Saving the best for last, the finest roof terrace in Manhattan, all of which can be seen from its four gorgeously landscaped corners, is furnished with decor for any occasion, tete a tete to a banquet. Jazz royalty also admired the iconic location prompting the city to name this landmark block Duke Ellington Boulevard after him. The setting will put anyone In a Sentimental Mood. Flip tax of 3% of gross sales price paid by seller.
