Cooperative New York

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 65 feet. The new hardwood floors, high 9” ceilings with custom lighting are enhanced by the NEW Tilt and Turn windows, skim coat walls and sunlight flooding from the over size north and south windows. Adjacent to the living room is a large 10 x 15 south facing balcony.

The huge stylish kitchen was enlarged by stealing a little space from the enormous formal dining room, creating a chefs” dream. The windowed kitchen has a Dacor cook top, 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 bath and sunny south views. There is a third bedroom/staff room/den and a bath 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 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, the residents are treated to impeccable world class service is 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 1950’s 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, 24 hr. valet garage with Tesla charges and wonderful luxury service including on-site management. There is a bike room and private storage.
