Several years in the making, this home has been expertly combined with a no-expense-spared and no detail overlooked renovation resulting in an impeccably crafted floor plan providing flawless flow and functional design. Elevated living awaits you with Control4 home automation, Cat 6 wiring, two sets of washers and dryers, and high end finishes and fixtures throughout. This presents a unique opportunity to acquire a trophy residence where contemporary-modern meets sophistication. A proper entrance gallery with a large walk-in closet invites you to discover the impressively scaled double wide great room. Two sets of bay windows with western, northern, and southern exposures elegantly frame the living and dining room capturing open sky and unrivaled city views. Step out onto the first private terrace for an evening cocktail and incredible sunset vistas of Billionaires' Row. Custom built-ins topped with caesarstone raven adorn each of the six magnificent bay windows. The entire home is further enriched by Baltic Birch white oak hardwood floors throughout. A powder room is perfectly positioned just around the corner. The windowed open concept kitchen is a culinary haven; equipped with top of the line chef’s appliances including a Miele oven and cooktop with hooded stove, paneled dishwasher, paneled double-door 36” refrigerator, wall oven, speed oven, SubZero wine cooler, caesarstone raven countertops and custom Cesar cabinets including a pull-out pantry wall for maximum storage. Anchoring the kitchen, the Lava Teak breakfast bar with a waterfall edge is perfect for casual dining and entertaining. Down a corridor lined with custom built walk-in-closets, you will discover the primary bedroom suite, graced with its own private terrace, sweeping views, and a thoughtfully designed home office area that can be partitioned off with a sleek Nero metal Rimadesio Sail sliding door. The windowed primary bathroom is palatial in scale with double sinks, double vanity, a wall of custom built cabinetry, Duravit toilet tucked behind custom Shoji doors, a walk-in shower with rain showerhead and Hansgrohe fixtures, all clad with Porcelanosa tiles. The northern wing comprises 3 elegantly designed bedrooms. The first bedroom also enjoys impressive views through the western-facing bay windows, and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. The second and third bedroom (with an en-suite bath) offer eastern exposures with open sky and city views, built-in storage, and custom closets. On the southern side of this home is an impressive guest wing that is fully accessible through the apartment’s corridor or through a separate entrance door, providing a level of privacy. This wing features its own sunlit living room and dining area with access to the third private terrace. Adjacent to the dining area is the open concept kitchen appointed with a paneled Liebherr refrigerator, paneled Bosch dishwasher and speed oven, under cabinet lighting, Caesarstone Haze countertops, Eucalipto Grigio cabinets, and a wall of pantry storage. An island provides extra counter space and easy casual dining. With the gas line fully intact and accessible, one could add a stove if desired. The king-sized bedroom suite with bright western exposures features a designated office area and a sleek bathroom with a walk-in shower, Toto Washlet toilet, and a large mirror wired for a TV. An additional office space has been cleverly designed in the walkway between the bedroom and living room, outfitted with a custom built desk, Cesar Pietra Fenix shelves, and a striking black translucent pocket door. A laundry closet with LG washer and dryer and pullout racks and hooks by the California Closet System completes this space.
