Rarely is such a fabulous recently renovated home available in The Sovereign. This spectacular home has a grand entry opening to a split living room and formal dining room which spans approximately sixty-five feet. The new hardwood floors, high nine-inch ceilings with custom lighting are enhanced by the new Tilt and Turn windows, skim coat walls and sunlight flooding from the oversized north and south windows. Adjacent to the living room is a large ten by fifteen south facing balcony. The huge stylish kitchen was enlarged by stealing a little space from the enormous formal dining room, creating a chef's dream. The windowed kitchen has a Dacor cooktop, Miele dishwasher, a wine refrigerator, Viking refrigerator, double wall ovens and microwave.The corner master suite has a spa worthy bath which features a walk-in shower and custom vanity. In addition there are abundant closets. The second bedroom has an enormous walk-in closet, a renovated en-suite bathroom and sunny south views. There is a third bedroom/staff room/den and a bathroom with a Miele washer and dryer.When The Sovereign was built in 1974, Paul Goldberger of The New York Times noted, "The Sovereign is in the super luxury category." The Emory Roth designed building has a lobby that "extends under the entire building, and there are four semi-private 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, the 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 chargers; wonderful luxury service including on-site management; bike room; and private storage. The Board permits pets (up to two dogs). Pied-à-terre purchases in Trusts or Limited Liability Companies are permitted with Board Approval.
