This home provides the perfect balance of design and comfort in the heart of Turtle Bay. Meticulously designed by S.K. Mukherjee, the home combines pre-war details - ceiling beams, windows in every room, separate dining room, formal entryway - with crisp modern detailing such as shadow gaps, flush-wall outlets, and invisible switch plates.

The windowed kitchen conceals all-Miele appliances behind custom panels, including a dishwasher and double ovens. An induction cooktop is concealed beneath fitted maple cutting boards. Corian countertops with an integrated sink and backsplashes have been matched to the off-white matte lacquer cabinets.

Ambient lighting has been hidden throughout the home so that the apartment appears to glow from within. Color-matched oak floorboards have been finished with lye and white oil to create a seamless surface with a soothing effect. The spa-like bathroom is fully clad in Turkish limestone and features a walk-in shower with a bench, wall-hung toilet, heated floor, and Vola fixtures. Custom medicine cabinets provide ample storage space.

Newly upgraded HVAC units are tucked behind lacquer casework with Corian grilles in the living room and bedroom. Additional woodwork includes matching window storage cabinets, seven full-height closets, and custom oak mirrors. The apartment overlooks private gardens with city views. The building was built in 1926 as a seminary and is nestled between vest-pocket parks and brownstones on a lovely block in the Turtle Bay Gardens Historic District.

This well-managed co-op is notable for its fantastic roof deck, friendly staff, and solid financials. Other building amenities include a doorman from 7:30 am-11:30 pm, a live-in superintendent, and a common laundry room on the second floor. The building allows pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, and guarantors on a case-by-case basis. No pets, please.

There is an ongoing assessment of $122.44.
