Welcome to a prestigious pre-war co-operative completed in 1916 by the renowned architects Rouse and Goldstone and ideally located on the corner of Madison Avenue and 72nd Street, one block from Central Park! Spanning the entire 11th floor of 31 East 72nd Street, this designer's own, beautifully curated residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire an impeccably renovated glamorous nine room home and a generational asset of historic significance. The original 13-room footprint was home to the legendary Rhinelander family and subsequently to the Wall Street financier and industrialist J.W.Schiffer, quite a pedigree provenance! With exceptional entertaining rooms off both wings of the Grand Gallery and four bespoke bedrooms suites, it masterfully blends pre -war grandeur and the state of the art conveniences that distinguish a modern luxury lifestyle.This residence is the product of a two-year renovation that combined two apartments into a trophy home of Architectural Digest quality. It offers: soaring ceilings, opulent scale, grand proportions and iconic views on a quiet high floor with exposures north, south, east, and west that bathe every room in natural light.As the elevator opens onto the 45 foot Grand Gallery paved with Namibian marble floors, the sense of arrival is breathtaking. Purposed to showcase art and host banquet style dining and receptions, the Gallery divides the home into two meticulously designed wings balancing formal entertaining with relaxed everyday living.The Formal Wing features a symmetrical Living Room centered by a wood-burning fireplace with an antique French marble mantel flanked by two oversized windows, two salon areas and a grand piano as well as original mahogany floors. Across the Gallery is a gracious Formal Dining Room with a handcrafted bookcase interspersed between three east facing windows. Together, these rooms set the stage for memorable hosting.A palatial corner Primary Suite with mesmerizing views overlooking Madison Avenue offers a serene sanctuary and an abundance of custom closets. A luxurious custom marble spa bath with a soaking tub, Waterworks fixtures, a double vanity, and custom cabinetry completes this sanctuary. The second Bedroom Suite is secluded and boasts charming architectural details, a marble ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. It was the original Library. A Mud Room/Cloak Room completes this wing.The heart of the home is the spacious Eat-in Kitchen with a Calacutta marble center island with seating and a banquette that seats eight, with premium appliances, custom imported cabinetry and a private service elevator for effortless catering and deliveries.Beyond the handcrafted iron and glass French doors is the Informal Wing that boasts a spectacular Great Room with glimpses of Central Park and the dramatic midtown skyline. A sophisticated Butler's Pantry and two additional Bedroom Suites, each corner rooms, including one with a wood burning fireplace were recently, tastefully redecorated. A laundry area with storage, vented washer/dryer and a state-of-the-art HVAC system with 8 climate controls complete this turnkey residence.A handsome limestone building awarded the American Institute of Architects Award for Excellence in 1918 for its simple and dignified style. 31 East 72nd Street is situated in the Upper East Side Historic District. It is a private, white-glove service cooperative with a 24/7 doorman, a live-in superintendent, an attended elevator, wine storage, and two private storage bins that transfer with the property. The Ralph Lauren flagship mansions (one of which was the Rhinelander Mansion) haute couture boutiques, fine restaurants, world-class museums and galleries, and Central Park are moments away.Co-Exclusive with Compass.
