Indoor Outdoor Living in the Heart of Manhattan. Chic and contemporary, this extraordinary 2,000 sq ft. duplex features two large bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in a considered layout that allows for the separation of serene private quarters and expansive entertaining space. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a mid-century ‘Glass Box’-style design, this home draws all-day natural light, boasting two fully-finished, private outdoor terraces. Entering the home, you are immediately drawn to the spacious and bright great room and its two walls of floor-to-ceiling casement windows that open onto a steel reinforced floating glass balcony with room for a large dining and entertaining. Under 14’ ceilings, the living room features a marble-mantled wood-burning fireplace, custom lacquered wet bar and cabinetry with marble backsplash, and thoughtful touches including a drop-down projection screen and state-of-the-art sound system. The bright and airy windowed kitchen features a suite of top-of-the-line appliances by Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele, a hand-cut Moroccan tile backsplash, and quartzite counters. The marble island, designed for seating, conceals a wine refrigerator and additional storage. A dramatic, high-gloss powder room and polished herringbone hardwood floors round out the main floor’s meticulous design. Downstairs, the expansive primary suite boasts a separate sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace, two large walk-in closets, and opens onto a private garden. With iconic Ann Sacks tiling underfoot, the primary ensuite features a double-wide shower and separate WC. A second, large bedroom features a well-appointed ensuite bathroom, while a third bedroom, opening onto the terrace, serves as a nursery or home office. Thoughtful technical considerations include an extensive Lutron HomeWorks lighting system with engraved brass fixtures, split AC system that allows for individual room control, and a full-size washer and dryer. Constructed in 1923 as the original Kips Bay Boys Club and thoughtfully reimagined, 301 East 52nd Street is a pet friendly boutique co-op on a quiet tree-lined block. The building amenities include doorman, live in resident manager/superintendent, additional storage space for each apartment and low maintenance fees. The home is in an exceptional location, close to subway lines, entertainment, and the city’s excellent dining options. See less
