Graciously proportioned and strikingly designed by Steven Harris Architects, Residence 15 West is a 4,129 Sq. Ft. (384 Sq. M.) half-floor residence with north, south, and east exposures, and the architect's signature attention to detail infused throughout. Featuring a step-down living room with 12’6” ceilings and Juliet balcony, this home offers five bedrooms, a formal dining room, five ensuite bathrooms, a powder room, and a laundry room. Elegant architectural details and materials throughout include expansive casement-style windows in a white bronze finish, 4" wide plank rift and quarter sawn American white oak flooring set in a chevron pattern in all living areas, recessed panel stile and rail doors with burnished nickel Nanz hardware, and custom plaster cornices in all primary rooms, hallways, vestibules, primary bathrooms, and powder rooms. Through a private and keyed entry vestibule finished with St. Clair marble flooring and wire brushed rift cut European white oak wall paneling with integrated closets, residents are greeted by a steel and tempered art glass entry door leading into a gracious entry gallery. The entry gallery leads to the south-facing 31'1" x 17'0" step-down living room with 12’ 6" ceilings and a 20 Sq. Ft. (2 Sq. M.) Juliet Balcony offering views along East 79th Street and Park Avenue. Adjacent to the living room is the light-filled formal dining room with an expansive casement-style bay window. The eat-in kitchen also offers an oversized casement-style bay window and is outfitted in hand-painted custom Italian cabinetry with polished nickel trim, Imperial Danby marble slab countertops and backsplashes, and a custom stainless steel island with a Nordic Gray marble slab countertop. Professional-grade appliances include a Wolf 6-burner range, speed oven, and fully-vented range hood; Sub-Zero refrigerators and full-height wine refrigerator; two Miele dishwashers; and two Julien under-mount stainless steel sinks with Dornbracht faucets. An adjacent pantry, with custom millwork cabinetry, provides additional storage. The laundry room, conveniently located next to the service entrance, is outfitted with custom lacquer-finished millwork cabinetry, stainless steel sink with white Caesarstone countertop, and high capacity LG washer and dryer which vents to the exterior. The primary bedroom suite, located in its own wing, features a windowed dressing room, two oversized walk-in closets, one additional closet, and a sweeping 20' long casement-style window wall overlooking landmarked townhouses and verdant landscaped gardens. The primary bath is outfitted with honed Olympic Danby stone slab full-height walls and floors; a custom acid etched mirror vanity with an Olympic Danby stone slab countertop, nickel trim, and Lucite drawer pulls; recessed chrome-trimmed medicine cabinets featuring integrated lighting; and a Kaldewei Puro undermount tub with an Olympic Danby stone slab tub deck and apron.
