Offered for the first time ever, this four bedroom, four bathroom home has two wood-burning fireplaces and has been cleverly designed by Alexandra Barker of Brooklyn-based BAAO and featured in the New York Times for its stylish luxury and quiet, modern taste; no detail has been spared from walnut paneling to terrazzo floors, marble backsplash to bespoke wallpapers, sleek fixtures to a copper soaking tub: the meticulous renovation creates both a sense of privacy and openness and the details are remarkable. Some high-design homes feel cold, but not 14 West 87th Street #1-2 which exudes warmth, hominess and serenity; you will forget you are in the heart of the Upper West Side in this house-like apartment where the sound of songbirds and swaying trees from the garden fill the air.Occupying the parlor, ground and cellar levels of a handsome white-painted brownstone, 14 West 87th Street #1-2 has a Maisonette-feel entry through a well-maintained garden. The iron gate entry opens to private under-stoop storage and a terrazzo foyer large enough for a mud room and containing a huge entry closet. The floor through great room is bright with two exposures and is segmented into a living room with wood-burning fireplace, a glass-enclosed staircase to the parlor level, a gorgeous dining room with custom table and chairs and sideboard and the unbelievable chef's kitchen also equipped with a sideboard and wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen centers on a terrazzo island designed for casual seating and has full-size high end appliances including a Miele range and oven, covered dishwasher and refrigerator and a pantry. A ground level king-size bedroom en-suite sits behind the great room with generous closet space and a private exit to the garden through French doors. The garden can be accessed via both the ground and cellar level and it is a magical oasis shaded by a mature maple tree. Outfitted with plank fencing, concrete tiles and a large French drain, you will enjoy all four seasons in solitude and seek nearby Central Park for socializing and exercise.The parlor level of 14 West 87th Street #1-2 has a unique en-suite room with a high, wood-beamed ceiling that has a private entrance to the rest of the building. Perfect as a primary suite, in-law suite, teen-or-young adult suite or a professional office, this special space serves many purposes and enhances the house-like feel of this co-op apartment.The celler level has two additional en-suite bedrooms, a laundry room and a comfortable family room/den/gaming room with the stunning feature of a free-standing copper tub with views to the garden. Totally unique, this one-of-a-kind feature is the antidote to anodyne white boxes which can be found throughout the Upper West Side; 14 West 87th Street # 1-2 is a unicorn in every way, a conversation piece, a work of art and a home of great comfort.
