Description

pDesigner Pied-à-Terre at The Galaxy/p pDesigned by acclaimed interior designer Kelly Giesen, this remarkable residence is a masterclass in thoughtful, space-conscious design, where every inch has been carefully considered without sacrificing warmth, elegance, or functionality. /p pSituated in the iconic Galaxy, this small, delightful 1-bedroom home enjoys 9-foot ceilings, oversized picture windows, and leafy treetop views overlooking beautiful turn-of-the-century architecture. /p pEvery architectural element was thoughtfully curated, from antique doors and mirrored cabinets, to bespoke moldings. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, creating a home that lives far larger than it's footprint! /p pThe custom kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring signature backlit cabinets, handcrafted cabinetry, integrated Viking, Miele, and Sub-Zero (hidden!) under-cabinet fridge and dishwasher, and elegant Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash. Bathed in natural light, the living room is anchored by a striking custom reclaimed mantel that lends warmth and character to the space./p pResidents of The Galaxy enjoy exceptional white-glove service, including a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, and one of the Upper West Side's most spectacular landscaped roof decks with sweeping city views. The hallways were recently renovated. There are washer/dryers on every floor. /p pIdeally positioned directly across from the American Museum of Natural History and moments from Central Park, Riverside Park, Lincoln Center, and the neighborhood's celebrated dining and shopping, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly distinctive designer home in one of the Upper West Side's most coveted full-service cooperatives. Pets, gifting, co-purchase, pied a terre permitted case by case with board approval. This is a broker owned apartment. /p
