No detail was overlooked or expense spared in the stunning renovation of this Carnegie Hill townhouse. Originally designed by Henry Hardenbergh, this significantly historic home, 16' 48' and built in the late 1880's, is part of the Hardenbergh/Rhinelander Historic District on the corner of Lexington Avenue and E. 89 Street. It is a perfect blend of pre-war charm with new interior finishes. The parlor level offers a gracious entry foyer, a wood-paneled library and a formal living room, both featuring fireplaces. Step down to the garden level into a spacious kitchen with custom cabinetry, Caesar Stone counters, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, Sub-Zero wine storage, Wolf induction cooktop and dual Wolf wall ovens, double Miele dishwashers, Miele coffee maker and microwave. There is also a den/play room, half bath and private patio/garden on this level. The top two floors offer two bedrooms per floor (two have fireplaces), four en-suite baths, and custom-built closets. There are two sets of washer/dryers-one on the top floor and one in the full-floor cellar. The mechanicals include zoned heating and cooling systems with touch-screen controls, a central vacuum, ADT Pulse alarm systems and Lutron Home Works lighting system. This property is zoned for live/work and offers two entrances. Currently configured as a single family residence, other possible uses include an art gallery, physician's office or interior design firm. Fun fact: Pioneering pop artist Andy Warhol lived in this house from 1960 until 1972, during the most creative period of his career.
