Anchoring one side of the space is a vast corner great room, glass-enclosed on two sides and meeting at an apex that overlooks the Manhattan skyline. The uniquely-shaped space allows for a dining area with an unforgettable view suitable for hosting grand or intimate gatherings.
Across the room is a sleek Scavolini kitchen, custom-designed by Jeffrey Beers. Dark walnut cabinetry is accented by pale matte glass panels, shimmering marble slab countertops and backsplash, Dornbracht fixtures, appliances by Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero, and a Gaggenau wine refrigerator.
All the way across the apartment for absolute privacy, a north-facing primary bedroom features the kind of walk-in closet any designer would love. Marble flooring and countertops in the master bath complement limestone walls, Dornbracht fixtures, a glass-enclosed shower, and a Zuma soaking tub.
Working back toward the entrance, three secondary bedrooms offer more dazzle in the form of Hudson river views. Each has its own marble-clad bath and fancy fixtures.
Back to the entry hall, a laundry room, walk-in foyer closet, and powder room add everyday convenience to the out-of-this-world glamour of this Upper West Side aerie. And if you want the full experience of Manhattan living from within this unique designer showcase without the commitment, it’s available for rent, fully furnished.
One West End, among 6sqft’s picks for 2016 Building of the Year, is itself a designer masterpiece. The 42-story residential tower, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, was the first to rise at Christian de Portzamparc’s master-planned Riverside Center.
Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a 75-foot indoor pool with double-height atrium, a fitness center and spa, media room, billiards room, game room, children’s playroom with garden terrace, dining room with chef’s demo kitchen, and on-site parking. For warm-weather living, there’s a 12,000-square-foot terrace with cabanas, greenery, and space for grilling and entertaining.
