The Emory Roth designed building has a lobby that "extends under the entire building, and there are four semiprivate halls per floor - a welcome (and expensive) alternative to the long, double loaded corridor. Such an arrangement has probably not been used in any New York building since the nineteen-thirties."Then as now, with only two apartments per floor, residents are treated to impeccable world class service provided by the staff that includes sentry, doorman, concierge, on-site management, valet parking, and more.The Sovereign is one of the most renowned post-war cooperatives. The elegant and impressive International Style lobby has soaring ceilings accented by the sparkle of hand blown nineteen fifties Venini chandeliers designed by the Italian Architect Carlo Scarpa. Enhancing the mid-century lobby are its original Rosewood panels, travertine marble floors and collection of curated paintings. Enjoy the lobby level gym, twenty-four hour valet garage with Tesla charges and wonderful luxury service including on-site management. There is a bike room and private storage. The Board permits pets (up to two dogs). Pied-à-terre and purchases in a Trust and Limited Liability Companies are permitted with Board Approval.
