Welcome to 133 East 91st Street, a gorgeous 1901-built townhouse nestled in historic Carnegie Hill on one of its coveted tree-lined blocks, moments from Central Park. Replete with exquisite detailing and impeccably designed to capture the beauty and grace of this celebrated neighborhood, this sun-flooded 4-story home spanning nearly 4,300 square feet has been flawlessly rebuilt and reimagined from top-to-bottom by renowned architect Ben Fuqua. Seamlessly blending restored period details with every modern convenience, nothing has been overlooked in this meticulously reconstructed 3-bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bathroom residence which boasts graciously scaled rooms, soaring ceilings, two fireplaces, brand-new windows and white oak floors throughout, and an enchanting landscaped rear garden. The elegant interiors are complemented by substantial capital upgrades, including eight-zoned central air-conditioning and heating, audio system with in-wall speakers, integrated smart home technology, and a full sprinkler and security system. Additionally, the basement level was excavated several feet down to create significant additional full height living space. GARDEN FLOOR: Enter through a gated garden forecourt into the welcoming entry mudroom with radiant heated floors and a south facing sitting room complemented by expansive custom designed closets. This full floor leisure space includes the lovely dining room which opens into the eat-in kitchen, which was dug out and lowered to create additional ceiling height. Designed to maximize space and functionality, this masterful kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering an abundance of custom cerise wood cabinetry, large center island, and a suite of top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances including an induction cooktop, teppanyaki, convection stove, steam oven, and warming drawer. Exit the glass French doors to find the landscaped irrigated garden featuring an epai wood privacy fence and an oversized gas grill with dedicated gas line and nestled amid charming neighboring townhouses and mature trees. PARLOR FLOOR: Walk up the retained historic stoop and enter the original front door with stained glass transom window, both beautifully restored, to the bright parlor floor with soaring 11’8” ceilings and an stunning carved wooden staircase. The front parlor awash with southern sunlight is currently used as an elegant formal living room with eight-foot windows looking over tree-lined 91st Street. The stately rear library is highlighted by a gas fireplace and marble mantel, artful custom bookcases, and oversized windows showcasing the beauty and serenity of the backyard gardens. A wet bar, butler’s pantry, and a chic powder room complete the parlor floor. THIRD FLOOR: Just above the parlor level lies two generously scaled bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms and outfitted walk-in closets, and separated by a large laundry with full sized vented washer and dryer. FOURTH FLOOR: The entire top floor houses the luxurious and sundrenched primary suite, boasting 11-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with draft inducer, a walk-through dressing room boasting an enviable 21 feet of custom closets, and a spa-like bathroom fitted with double sinks, stand-alone soaking tub, walk-in shower, high-end designer fixtures, and radiant heated floors. Completing the top level is a home office complete with a built-in desk and cabinets and overlooking the verdant rear gardens below. LOWER LEVEL: The basement was dug out several feet to create an additional functional floor of living space. Here you will find a media room replete with home theatre, fitness equipment, and a second powder and laundry room. Perfectly located and move-in ready, this special home must be seen to be fully appreciated.
