This spacious sunny home in a top full-service building is a rare hybrid. It has the convenience and comfort of modern living pared with the elegance of a prewar. With only two homes sharing a landing, the difference is apparent immediately. The center gallery of this renovated home opens to a 65-foot expanse from the living room with a large balcony to the formal dining room with windows and sun splashed views North and South. The ceilings are almost nine-feet and the windows are large, so the feeling of light and space is striking. The prewar style floor plan continues to the split master bedrooms and the windowed kitchen and maids/den suite. The stylish, newly renovated kitchen features a 48" Subzero refrigerator, a 48" Viking stove and exhaust hood and Italian marble counters. There are three baths plus a powder room, and abundant closet space with custom cabinetry.

The Sovereign, one of the most renowned post war cooperatives, was designed by Emery Roth and Sons, who also created other famed buildings - The Beresford and The San Remo. The elegant and impressive International Style lobby has soaring ceilings accented by the sparkle of hand blown 1950's Venini chandeliers, designed by the Italian Architect Carlo Scarpa. The equally impressive Rosewood panels and travertine marble floors are enhanced by the recent lobby update by award winning designer Harry Allen, whose furnishings are in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. With only two apartments per landing, these well designed and spacious homes evoke an old world feeling, with all the modern conveniences of zone controlled central heat and air conditioning, powder rooms, balconies and exceptional closet space. Enjoy the lobby level gym, 24-hour valet garage and wonderful luxury service from a well trained staff.

Surrounded by park like gardens, steps away from the Sutton Place enclave, this residence offers the best of its convenient location and a neighborhood of calm, and walking proximity to the best shopping in the world!
