This
3,500 square foot, five bedroom apartment overlooking New Yorks
Central Park was constructed by joining two apartments for a young family.
The layout reflects the owners desire for large formal rooms in
which to entertain groups as large as one hundred people, or as small
as a dinner for eight. The style of the furnishings invokes an era of
turn of the century opulence with its liberal use of rich cut velvets,
silks, mahogany, and gold leaf. The commanding views of the Central Park
reservoir cause you to gasp again and again as you enter yet another beautiful
room overlooking this urban oasis.
Rich cut velvet fabric covers a pair of Georgian style sofas. Embossed leather dining chairs and silk wall covering create an elegant dining setting. The kitchen floor is made of natural cork to provide a soft surface under foot. This little girls bedroom provides an interior that will grow more charming year after year. Whimsy prevails in the children's bathroom A Venetian style bed is the centerpiece of the master bedroom. |
Symmetry reigns in this formal living room with coffered ceiling. Breathtaking views of Central Park compliment the exquisite furnishings. This dining rooms shimmers in the glow of evening light. The family room provides a comfortable setting for watching TV or gathering with friends. Trundle beds in the boys bedroom allow for sleep-overs with friends. The familys antique Venetian mirror compliments this Louis VI style chest in the master bedroom. A window seat provides a quiet place to sit and contemplate the view. |
