Own a historic piece of New York City's Upper West Side with this unique duplex at the Hotel de Artistes, a legendary cooperative with a rich and peerless history. Vaulting 18' high ceilings and dramatic 16' northern facing windows provide artists light throughout every room. In addition, the expansive open floor plan and towering ceilings give a "wow" factor typically reserved for downtown. The grand and sumptuous living room perfectly balances an appeal to modern, chic sensibilities while paying homage to the building's storied tradition of entertaining artists, musicians, and writers. Replete with an entire ensemble of instruments- including a Steinway concert grand piano- this apartment is THE premier space for entertaining in the Upper West Side. Up the elegant floating staircase, the second level awaits a mezzanine level with a home office/library with ample built-in shelving and a viewing area to the living room below. The graciously sized primary bedroom offers an en-suite bathroom with an oversized tub made to unwind in. A second bedroom with its own fully renovated bath across the hall is perfect for entertaining guests and doubles as a den. The upper level also offers its service entrance for easy access to the elevator and the in-unit washer & dryer. The Hotel des Artistes is a full-service cooperative with amenities not often available in pre-war buildings, including a full-time concierge and elevator operator, a swimming pool, a squash court with a basketball hoop, two workout rooms, and a charming high-walled roof deck. In addition, the Leopard at the des Artistes offers romantic outdoor/indoor dining and room service all at a discount for Hotel des Artistes residents.
