18 East 62nd St PH

Blending the privacy and spaciousness of a townhouse with the luxury living of a high-end condominium, this truly unique home is a completely gut-renovated, duplex modern apartment set inside a grand historic property formerly owned by the Astor family. An exquisite and careful architectural renovation has preserved the buildingÃâs nineteenth century grandeur while blending in state-of-the-art modern details. There is a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and private security system. Only two residences in this building- the elevator opens directly into this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom duplex penthouse. Upon entering, you will be greeted with a grand foyer that flows between the majestic living room and formal dining room, which features beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings and two fully functioning wood-burning fireplaces. Marble floors line the hallway and luxurious en-suite bathrooms, while the custom solid wood kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances. Magnificent natural sunlight pours in from the oversized windows in each room and views of the opulent Beaux Arts mansion can be see from the master suite and living room. There is a washer/dryer in the unit, as well as a multi-zoned Mitsubishi split cooling/heating system that allows for temperature control from a wall thermostat, via a wireless thermostat, with the concierge, or from the Internet.

Moments from legendary New York locations like Barneys, Bergdorf, the Plaza and Madison Avenue boutiques, the townhouse is half block from Central Park, with many of ManhattanÃâs finest restaurants just around the corner. Most of MidtownÃâs office buildings are a short distance, while the N/Q/R, 4/5/6 and F trains are all just a few blocks from the apartment, providing easy access to anywhere in New York City.
