211 East 51st St 3EG

With over 2,000 square feet, this three bedroom, three bath apartment offers an expansive floor plan, exquisite finishes and southern light. The enormous and light-filled living room has a breadth of south-facing windows that provide an enchanting view of trees and low-rise buildings across the way. The windows are framed beneath by custom millwork that provides storage and conceals the HVAC units. New York-based Shamir Shah designed the interior, including a custom stain for the new, 4-inch solid white oak hardwood floors that are laid throughout the apartment. The designer kitchen features Calacatta gold marble slab countertops, white oak lower cabinetry and high gloss lacquer upper cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances by Bosch and Northland. It could be easily expanded into the family room/dining area if more space is needed. The enormous master suite features two walk-in closets, a large dressing area or home office, and a stunning en suite bathroom. The spacious second and third bedrooms are complemented by two full bathrooms, either of which can also serve as a powder room. The baths feature beautifully contrasting walls tiled with a unique blue-gray clay and subway tile, and custom vanities and medicine cabinets. Completing the space is a large utility room with washer/dryer that could be slightly enlarged and enclosed to create a den or interior bedroom. In its combination of space, detail and quality, this property presents an opportunity that will not last.
