Serenity and sophistication at the Carlyle House! A magnificent Thomas Pheasant designed seven room home awaits you at the Carlyle House. Located on a high floor, every detail has been attended to with great aesthetic subtlety and a seamless blending of classical and contemporary design elements. A large and gracious foyer anchors the center of the apartment, with the living room, dining room, and library radiating out from it. Translucent glass room dividers create a sense of openness and connectedness between the beautifully appointed rooms. The elegant corner living room has West views to Central Park, a bright North exposure and a working fireplace. The adjacent dining room is partially open to the foyer and living room for a lofty feel. Off the dining room is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen. The library, also partially open from the foyer, faces West with great afternoon sunshine. The oversized primary bedroom suite is a work of art with a West exposure, multiple closets, a bath with double vanity and an enormous walk-in shower. The second bedroom, equally elegant, also has a lovely private bath. There is a generous guest suite off another wing with a beautiful bath and a washer/ dryer that is tucked neatly away in a closet. The apartment has a lovely powder room, thru-wall air conditioning in every room, spectacular lighting and electric shades throughout, controlled by a sophisticated Lutron system, and all top-of-the line fixtures in the kitchen, baths and throughout the apartment. Aside from the appeal of being part of the famed Carlyle Hotel, Carlyle House tenant-shareholders can access the hotel through a secure private door in their lobby. The co-op shares all the services available at the hotel including Dowling's, Cafe Carlyle, Bemelmans Bar, The Gallery, Valmont Spa, Fitness Room, Yves Durif Hair Salon, parking garage and even room service! Built together in 1929/30, the Carlyle House and Hotel were designed to appear as one building, only a block from Central Park and Fifth Avenue. The Carlyle House has its own private street entrance and boasts outstanding and discreet security and services. Named after the British essayist, Thomas Carlyle, the legendary Carlyle Hotel has hosted heads of state, as well a wide array of royals and film stars. The super-low maintenance at the Carlyle House is due to a long-term lease transaction of their commercial and retail spaces along Madison Avenue. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer, and pets and pied-a-terres are welcomed! The apartment is available furnished or unfurnished (artwork not included).
