The heart of this home is the beautifully renovated, windowed eat-in kitchen. Thoughtfully designed, it features custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, Bosch suite of appliances, and exquisite quartz countertops. A center island and banquette seating provide ample workspace and dining options, while a rare floor-to-ceiling pantry-spanning nearly ten feet-offers unmatched storage for every kitchen necessity. Every detail of this chef's kitchen has been custom-crafted for style and efficiency. One the same floor, a classic library boasts floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving and additional closet space.

Downstairs, the private bedroom wing serves as a serene retreat. The south-facing primary suite includes a spacious sitting room and a beautifully appointed bedroom, cleverly separated by bi-fold French doors to allow for flexible use. Oversized windows, a Juliet balcony, and a charming bay window bathe the space in natural light. The primary bath is a work of art, featuring a custom-designed black-and-white origami-inspired glass mosaic, dolomite and emperador marble, satin brass fixtures by Brizo, a porcelain double-wide sink by Lacava, a custom wood vanity, a rain shower fixture, and a privacy glass-enclosed Toto toilet. Two more bedrooms add comfort to this level, while a third flexible bedroom or office provides further versatility. A full windowed guest bath boasts decorative tiling, polished high-gloss onyx fixtures by Brizo, swooping marble countertops, a custom wood vanity, a Toto toilet, and an oversized shower, exuding understated luxury. A third windowed full bath features black-and-white pebble tiles, Nero Marquina marble, Rubinit fixtures, and another oversized shower, ensuring every detail of this residence is designed for comfort and style. This masterfully gut-renovated home was designed by Suzanne Cook, one of the Upper West Side's premier interior designers. Built in 1909 by Norman Tishman, The Norman is a well-maintained, pet-friendly building offering the convenience of a live-in superintendent and financing options up to 80%. Nestled among some of the city's most sought-after amenities-including Symphony Space, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the Children's Museum, and multiple subway lines (1/2/3 and B/C)-this historic gem is moments from Central Park's tennis courts, playgrounds, and the Jackie Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Additional storage is included.
