Few apartments in our experience come as close to the ideal for a Manhattan one-bedroom as 14H at 200 East 16th.
When the present Owner was looking for a flat in the Gramercy Park area, his key criterion was that the view of the New York skyline must be uncompromised and exceptional. Perched high on a 14th floor, this Northwest corner vista is an exquisite rarity which includes the Empire State Building and 5 of the 6 tallest buildings in NY - offering an ever-changing spectacle of brilliant sunrises, scarlet sunsets and the nighttime pageantry of city lights.
The interior reconception was the work of the prior owner, a Yale-educated NY designer, whose uncluttered simplicity and sensitive design transformed the ordinary into a space which is original and captivating.
Deeply burnished hardwood planks lead one through the gallery entry to the primary living space which enjoys expansive views and an enchanting palette of light and shadow. The Kitchen has been been thoughtfully re-imagined to offer all the requisite amenites, cleverly integrated within custom, furniture grade cabinetry. The designer's brilliant vision maximizes the space while retaining a subtle sophistication and casual comfort.
The most striking feature is the corner living room, with double windows on two sides that open the space to incredible light and views.
The designer's restrained sensibility and attention to detail is evident throughout.
The kitchen features beautiful custom cabinetry, a Gaggenau cooktop, a standard 24" wide Bosch dishwasher, and a Liebherr refrigerator. Floors throughout are wide-plank hardwood. AC is through-the-wall. Windows feature beautiful and easy-to-clean marble sills. City Quiet windows have been installed on the West-facing Windows. All windows are equipped with either blackout shades (bedroom) or solar shades (living room and kitchen). The Walk-in double closet in the bedroom has custom built-ins that eliminate the need for a dresser.Completed in 1931, 200 East 16th is a classic Art Deco prewar building with doorman, concierge, porter, and live-in super. The lobby has been updated, along with key building amenities: a fitness room, laundry room, bike storage, and rentable storage units (waiting list may apply). Subletting is allowed, subject to board approval, after 1 year of residency.
And it's all in an ideal Gramercy Park location. At the corner of 16th and Third Avenue - close to Union Square - where you'll find easy access to a long list of Express Subway stops - plus one of the finest greenmarkets in all of New York City. Foodies will also be delighted to find a Trader Joe's only two blocks away, plus a Whole Foods not much further - and endless array of dining opportunities. All in all it's a rare opportunity and an absolute must-see.
