Brilliantly conceived by award-winning Manhattan architect Michael Haverland, this condominium penthouse overlooking Gramercy Park is a stunning convergence of prolific design and classic architectural elements. Newly constructed, this 3,476 square-foot home was carefully designed to capture exceptional light and views within a unique interior, assimilating a sensibility of a seamless indoor/outdoor connection throughout. Sited on the South side of Gramercy Park in an elegant Greek Revival-style townhouse circa 1865, this triplex home harmoniously incorporates flawless design with high-tech convenience. A private elevator opens onto this magnificent penthouse which graces the upper three floors of the building. Sun-drenched and sprawling, the residence boasts soaring ceilings, Italian travertine marble flooring, Mahogany paneling, and detailed millwork. A series of 9-foot windows framed in rich Mahogany perfectly showcases views of Gramercy Park. There is a graceful staircase connecting the three levels of the home and the flexible floor plan offers a canvas for creative ingenuity.The entertainment rooms include a double-height living room with fabulous views of Gramercy Park and the city skyline. It features a dramatic expanse of windows, beautiful walnut paneling, a built-in bar, and an impressive fireplace. Also on this level is a library that could easily serve a media room. A set of glass doors leads to an impressive private south-facing terrace.On the first level, the chef's eat-in kitchen features appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele and rich wood cabinetry. The expansive dining room with fireplace leads to a wonderful 23-foot Southern terrace with an outdoor fireplace. One of the unique factors of this home is its flexibility of design; spaces that are open can be closed to convey more privacy and several spaces are multi-functional. While the room adjacent to the kitchen could be used as a dining room, it could just as easily serve as a family-room or study. A vast master bedroom suite overlooking Gramercy Park includes a woodburning fireplace, large dressing area, ample walk-in closet, and an intimate sitting area or hideaway office. There are two luxuriously-appointed bathrooms off of the master bedroom suite. The top-level, with its light-suffused expanse, has two additional bedrooms, two full-baths, laundry area and a mezzanine area which could serve perfectly as a study. Bathrooms throughout the triplex are sumptuous and luxurious with their Waterworks fixtures, Ann Sacks tile, travertine marble floors with radiant heat and furniture-grade cabinetry. Multi-zone air-conditioning and heating allow temperatures to be regulated to personal taste. The Penthouse and building have Creston-controlled lighting, a Siedle entrance system, and complete pre-wiring for security and audio-video systems, including remote video monitoring.
