Cooperative Kips Bay

Where timeless prewar architecture meets refined contemporary design.

Beautifully reimagined with an emphasis on craftsmanship, light, and livability, this one-bedroom residence with a flexible bonus room offers an uncommon blend of classic proportions and modern sophistication. Nearly nine-foot ceilings, elegant crown moldings, and restored solid oak floors establish a sense of scale from the moment you enter. Sunlight pours into the expansive living room through oversized east-facing windows, creating an inviting setting for both quiet mornings and effortless entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen pairs warm white oak cabinetry with sleek quartz countertops and a full-height quartz backsplash. Premium appliances-including a Bertazzoni gas range and Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher-are complemented by extensive custom storage and a built-in dining banquette, creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautifully executed.

Adjacent to the living room, a flexible bonus room provides an ideal home office, library, guest room, or creative workspace.

Privately positioned on the opposite side of the home, the tranquil bedroom enjoys open western exposures and beautiful afternoon light. The windowed, spa-inspired bath is finished in oversized porcelain tile and features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with clean, contemporary detailing.

Every renovation decision has been carefully considered to honor the home’s prewar character while introducing a distinctly modern aesthetic. The result is a residence that feels warm, understated, and exceptionally livable-where generous proportions, natural light, and timeless materials come together in perfect balance.
