Property Description

The Stanhope: a rare 4-bedroom pre-war fully renovated (in 2015), mint, move-in Cond-op (Co-op with condominium rules) designed in 1926 by Rosario Candela - the renowned architect responsible for many of New York's most prestigious buildings. Fully renovated in 2008, this landmark building is positioned directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, enjoying views over both.

This exceptionally well-positioned corner apartment combines historic charm with all modern conveniences. The semi-private elevator opens into an elegant foyer shared by just one other apartment, providing additional privacy and feeling of solitude. A double door entry welcomes you into the elegant entry gallery of the apartment itself. An expansive almost 29-foot living room features chic architectural details such as coffered ceilings, and oversized windows framing Western and Northern exposures onto Fifth Avenue and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A separate formal dining room or den flows beautifully for perfect circulation. Gleaming Mahogany wood flooring features in the reception rooms and hallways.

A large eat-in chef's kitchen carefully balances practicality with sophistication. Terrazzo flooring, the fine craftsmanship and premium finishes of the Smallbone custom cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, and premium appliances from Viking, Sub Zero and Miele that include three ovens, two dishwashers, a 6-burner range with grill, and temperature controlled custom designed wine refrigerator. The oversized kitchen island is perfect for entertaining on a grand scale, and an expansive window hovers over the spacious dining area, flooding this room with natural light all day.

A hallway separates the entertaining areas from the private sanctuary of the bedrooms: The master suite, with twin walk-in closets, features an en-suite marble bathroom, reminiscent of a grand hotel. There are additionally three further bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom and generous closet space.

Multiple modern conveniences include a Savant home automation system, ducted, zoned central heating & cooling, a guest powder room, a laundry room with a Miele washer-dryer, and rows of additional closets that provide ample storage. In addition to the apartment itself, a further storage unit belonging to the apartment is situated in the basement of the building.
