Life can be a dream in your private wing atop the Ansonia. In Residence 15-157, youll find the grandeur of New York Citys Gilded Age in perfect complement with modern European simplicity. Two discrete units have been gut-renovated and combined into this 2-bed/2.5-bath opus, which claims an entire 1,350 sq ft wing of the Ansonias 15th floor. Each detail, angle, and fixture has been considered and selected with care to create an architect-designed bespoke sanctum that has no neighboring units to its sides. Ceilings soar above 10, accented by stunning open archways and 8 doors, including the original mirror-paneled French double doors at the grand entrance. Chevron-patterned oak floors by Hudson Floors create an airy and refreshing ambiance. The layout is neatly separated from the gallery-style foyer, with the kitchen and entertaining areas to the right and the expansive bedrooms with en-suite baths to the left. The living room is open and inviting, with natural light spilling in from the oversized windows along the Southern wall. Unique touches include an Arabescato marble decorative fireplace from Europe, custom built-in bookshelves, cabinetry, and a bar area with its antique-finished mirror backing. An additional built-in oak desk is tucked into the charming nook beneath one of the Ansonias classic pre-war elliptical windows. Casings and trim echo the buildings history, creating a sense of depth and sophistication. In the Northwest corner is a spacious powder room with a striking marble checkerboard floor and a sculptural marble console sink with brass legs and fixtures. An eat-in kitchen with a stunning open city view of the Upper West Side skyline offers a luxurious and energizing atmosphere, where golden sunsets paint the skyline in vibrant hues. Smart, aesthetic built-ins transform the galley kitchen into a chefs paradise with ample storage. Metal and wood custom cabinets enhance the kitchens size, while Calacatta Viola Blu marble countertops and backsplash add richness. Top-of-the-line appliances, including a Gaggenau induction stovetop, dual wall oven/microwave, and two dishwasher drawers by Fisher & Paykel, ensure seamless cooking. Meals made in this kitchen can be served with love in the dreamy dining area on the upholstered solid oak banquette nestled between large, romantic windows that look out to the South and West. On the other side of the foyer are the graciously-sized bedrooms, each with copious Southern light. Closets are plentiful in this part of the residence, including a laundry closet with in-unit washer and dryer. The primary bedroom features two stately colonial-style windows, a walk-in California Closet, and a spa-like en-suite bath with travertine dual sinks and a travertine stall shower. The restful second bedroom also has an en-suite with marble features, a stall shower, and radiant heating under the marble floor. Roman and Williams Guild fixtures, acclaimed UK interior designer Rose Uniackes designs, and skillfully-chosen antiques illuminate the apartment. Belgium-based Van Cronenburg's handcrafted hardware and Waterworks hardware in the bathrooms add to the conscientious build-out that transformed this pre-war condo into an UWS turn-key gem. All you have to do is call it home. The Ansonia, designed by Paul E. Duboy, opened in 1904 as Manhattans grandest residential hotel.
