This full-floor co-op off Fifth Avenue at 11 East 92nd Street among the mansions of Carnegie Hill has been recently transformed into an elegant city refuge. The complete makeover at the hands of the designer/owner includes a large walled garden, landscaped and irrigated, ready to be a rare retreat from Manhattan’s urban demands. The two-bedroom co-op is asking $2.85 million.
Through the entry foyer is a sunken great room anchored by a fireplace made of Porcelanosa stone. Wide French doors frame views of the garden below.
Throughout the home are carefully selected design details like stone finishes, custom wood doors, brushed-bronze hardware, antique mirrored glass walls, and custom Maya Romanoff wallpaper. Spare-no-expense modern comforts include air-conditioning, a laundry room, motorized shades, and custom Lutron lighting.
A design-minded kitchen has worktops of three-inch-thick stone above custom cabinetry with brushed-bronze hardware. Doing the heavy lifting are Bosch, SubZero, and Fisher-Paykal appliances.
The private walled garden just outside is a romantic idyll, lit by gas lanterns and an outdoor fireplace. Visible just above the garden’s walls are the neighborhood’s stately private homes.
Handmade slatted doors guard a hallway to a secluded primary bedroom suite overlooking the garden. This tranquil chamber gets its own dressing area with custom closets and a stone-clad bathroom with radiant heated floors, a Toto toilet, and a glass-enclosed Kohler steam shower.
At the opposite side of the home is a second bedroom featuring a separate lounge/office zone. The home’s second bathroom has marble accents and a deep soaking tub.
Built in 1884, the pet-friendly co-op building offers more storage in the basement. The equally friendly co-op board allows new buyers and sublets.
