Property Description
Everywhere you look, you are surrounded by flora and fauna!
Welcome to your own private garden oasis in the heart of one of the most coveted neighborhoods - this Sutton Place stunner lives large!
Just off our Mid-Century Modern furnished lobby, Apt. 1-G (G for Gorgeous Garden) is uniquely positioned to provide its owners with a total respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
As you enter the foyer you are stunned by the immediate open and yet secluded garden greenery. Beautiful East, South and West sunlight shines in the apartment and the garden all day long. All the four seasons are truly enjoyed for all their delights: cool in the summer, warm in the winter, blooming in the spring and you have a front row seat to watching your own private fall foliage!
Three large panoramic picture windows surround the massive main living room offering ample places to read, work and entertain. Presently, the living room is decorated with two side chairs, a large couch and elegant built-in bookshelves that houses your books, baubles and other ornaments and even a discrete flat screen TV. There's a nice little reading nook for the morning's newspaper. The French glass doors let in the southern light and let you gander at the glorious garden.
The super sunny separate dining area -just off the living room & kitchen could be converted into a guest room/office or kept as a delightful dining room when you are not dining al-fresco on the patio.
On to the very large long L-shaped kitchen with two entrances through the glass French doors. Chic and classic with black granite countertops, white and glass custom cabinetry, Italian glass backsplash, travertine floors, top-of-the-line appliances including a wine cooler, this kitchen offers a sunny morning view through the window with Eastern exposure looking on to the garden.
Luxuriate in the beautifully designed spa bathroom featuring Ann Sacks tile lining the walls, mosaic heated flooring, a deep soaking tub and a huge vintage rain shower.
The large bedroom is serene and full of foliage outside your huge picture window overlooking the tranquil garden. Perfect for a peaceful night sleep.
While the interior is luscious and romantic so too is the garden. The living is very seamless- moving inside and outside. What we've all been waiting and wishing for…
THE PROFESSIONALLY LANDSCAPED AND EXPERTLY DESIGNED GARDEN!
The garden, accessible through lovely paned French doors off a New England Blue Stone landing, is yours to enjoy as your own private space with separate outdoor dining, oversized NYC cobble stone patio living area and a 16th century antique Istrian fountain.
The fountain was previously the centerpiece of the Brooklyn Art Museum lobby prior to its restoration … repurposed and made fully functional to work in this garden.
While the interior lives “large”, the private outdoor space literally doubles the amount of living and dining space to enjoy throughout the seasons with its own ivy-walled sitting area and large round dining table for six.
The entire garden has been planted, irrigated and lit for evening enjoyment.
This one-of-a-kind feature in this one-of-a-kind garden is the 16th century stone water fountain for it is not only a piece of art from the museum, but a piece of history from the Adriatic and a sanctuary for migratory birds to visit on occasion, ultimately you can sit back and listen to the relaxing sounds from this wonderful working water fountain!
This fully planted landscaped garden with stately trees providing shade, stately old-growth trees, established shrubs and colorful perennials is waiting for you to make a wish in the fountain and it could be yours!
