1 GRACIE Sq 11

The grand sweeping views of river and park from the full floor apartment on the 11th floor of One Gracie Square will spoil you for any other New York City viewpoint. This 11 into 9 room residence, built in 1929, was designed by the famed architect Rosario Candela to embody the old work style and grace of the period.

Enter newly renovated Apartment 11 from your private elevator landing to an elegant, well-proportioned gallery with powder room. Off the gallery is the huge 27-foot living room, with a wood-burning fireplace, which flows into the formal dining room. These two rooms for entertaining boast 45 linear feet of gorgeous water views from the large tilt and turn windows. The views are further enhanced by the beauty of Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade.

In the Eastern wing of this residence one finds the chef's kitchen outfitted with top of the line appliances--Viking 6-burner range with a large kitchen exhaust fan that's vented out, Bosch dishwasher, full size separate Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero freezer, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and a microwave. Best of all is a breakfast area with heart-stopping views of the river and bridges so you can watch the boats go by with your morning coffee. Off the double exposure kitchen is a large pantry and a separate south-facing windowed laundry area.

The apartment's high ceilings and four exposures ensure beautiful ambient light throughout the day. A corridor from the gallery takes you to the private west wing of the apartment with 4 generously proportioned bedrooms (or a library and 3 bedrooms) and 3 full baths. The primary corner bedroom with en suite bathroom has both north and west exposures and incredible river views.

Be the first to benefit from the new state-of-the-art zoned central air conditioning throughout. An additional special feature of Apt 11 is the abundance of closets. The bedroom corridor alone has 5 closets, 3 of them walk-in. There are additional closets in each of the 4 bedrooms, plus a gallery closet for guest coats and 3 more closets in the south wing. The apartment has the added benefit of a generous storage room in the basement that transfers with the sale of the apartment.

This charming white glove boutique building has full time doormen and a live-in resident manager. It is located in close proximity to some of Manhattan's best private and public schools. 50% financing is permitted and pets are allowed.
