Apartment 3E is a beautifully curated 2 bedroom 2 bathroom prewar residence, with stunning renovated eat in kitchen- where enduring style and thoughtful upgrades create a timeless, quietly elevated feel.The layout works naturally, and every space has been maintained with longevity in mind.
A gracious foyer with two closets leads to a wall of built-ins, display shelving above and deep drawer storage below- ideal for a bar, books, or collected objects.
The windowed eat-in white custom hardwood kitchen blends traditional cabinetry with smart customizations, including a Shaw Original farmhouse sink, soft-close drawers, integrated pull-outs, custom peg organizers, abundant outlets, and a discreet built-in TV. Appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator and wine fridge, Electrolux Icon range and microwave, and a Bosch dishwasher. A built-in banquette seats four comfortably for everyday dining.
The oversized living and dining room, over 18 feet wide, offers generous scale for both entertaining and formal dining. A pearlescent decorative ceiling finish adds a refined glow and subtle elegance. A glass French door separates the private wing, where a well-proportioned landing and an additional closet enhance the sense of separation.
The primary bedroom features a charming built-in window seat framed by floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry and a cedar-lined closet. Its en-suite bath is wrapped in Carrara marble with a glass-enclosed shower, vintage-inspired exposed fixtures, a sculptural Kallista pedestal sink, a Duravit wall-mounted toilet, marble shelving, polished-nickel accents, and patterned tile flooring.
The second bedroom is equally inviting, with built-in window seating and storage that echo the primary's custom millwork. Deep green textured wallpaper and two sizable closets complete the space, which comfortably accommodates both sleeping and a home-office setup. The second full bath retains its classic prewar charm with a deep soaking tub, frameless glass panel, vintage fixtures, a window, and a basket-weave mosaic floor.
Throughout the home, antique glass doorknobs, custom window treatments, distinct paint selections, and thoughtful built-ins create a warm, refined atmosphere.
