Property Description

Shown by appointment onlyPerched on the 16th floor of Chesapeake House, this expansive residence offers a rare combination of scale, light, and flexibility in the heart of Kips Bay. Newly refinished wide-plank oak floors run throughout, catching the light beneath striking angled ceiling details. Multiple exposures - including a striking run of windows on two walls - flood the living space with light and frame open, sweeping Manhattan skyline views over rooftops and towers to the north and west.The layout - a thoughtfully combined 16AB unit - lives like few others on the market. Enter through a private foyer with a coat closet, where an arched passageway and a sculptural brass track light set a stylish tone for the gallery hall beyond, its warm oak floors leading past the bedroom wing. From the entry, the home opens into an oversized living and dining space, with a separate dedicated dining area, where sleek modern pendant fixtures and finished radiator covers add a polished, move-in-ready feel. Just beyond, the windowed galley kitchen offers warm cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, double wall oven, and stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher - a full, functional kitchen with excellent storage and city views of its own. Down the hall, a versatile office/library - a long, gallery-like room fitted with built-in wood shelving and elegant brass swing-arm sconces - sits alongside a butler's pantry offering additional prep space and storage, together creating a configuration that's genuinely hard to find in Manhattan.Four generously scaled bedrooms anchor the home. The corner primary bedroom is generously sized, with two exposures of windows framing open skyline views, a large multi-panel closet, direct access to its own adjacent bath, and a dedicated walk-in closet. Bedroom Two enjoys its own private, en-suite bath and an oversized double-door closet, along with its own window exposure. Bedroom Three offers an abundance of closet space, with multiple bi-fold closets and easy access to a nearby bath. Bedroom Four, currently carpeted, comes complete with a large closet and custom built-in shelving flanking its window - a bonus for anyone in need of extra storage or display space. Each of the three full bathrooms has been finished with its own distinct, updated look - from travertine walls and a separate glass shower stall, to a hexagon-tiled tub/shower with a marble accent wall, to a sleek wood-look tiled bath with a frameless glass shower - and abundant closets througho
