Complete with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, all designed by Paris Forino with furnishings by Ash Staging, this property transports you from New York’s streets to Paris’ winding avenues. Hand-laid white oak herringbone floors, custom wall paneling and oversized windows adorn the 2,468 square feet, resulting in a sophisticated yet inviting living space.
A long hall softened with a modern striped runner wows guests upon entry, leading to the main living space drenched in natural light. A marble console table, brass and black metal table lamp and abstract brass mirrors bring juxtaposing modern details to the apartment’s traditional finishes. Perfect for those who love to entertain, the open living and dining room offers ample seating for dining and relaxing. A black and white stone cocktail table featuring a bone inlay detail anchors the seating area, while a solid walnut table and a gorgeous chandelier by Roll & Hill provide the perfect backdrop for conversation in the dining room. Soft blue cabinetry in the kitchen offers a welcome pop of color while still complementing the warm-toned woods and upholstery.
Providing the ultimate privacy, the primary bedroom is an urban oasis complete with bold black and tan wallpaper and an ebony ceiling. Warmth and texture are delivered by the bed’s simple coverlet and thick black blanket, while Kelly Wearstler's black and walnut nightstands perfectly match Serge Mouille's sconces, adding a French flair. The other bedrooms are equally as inviting, with the child’s room featuring floral wallpaper and blush and sienna tones. The guest bed offers a contemporary feel through its bold design, while the nearby study’s Edward Wormley-style sofa adds depth with its rich chocolate velvet upholstery.
Beyond residence 11B’s interiors, 250 East 21st Street offers the chance to enjoy all that the gorgeous Parisian-style building has to offer. Architecture by Issac & Sterns Architects is inspired by the old-world European charm of Gramercy Park, with the timeless hand-laid limestone facade surrounding the oversized windows for show-stopping curb appeal. The striking Mansard crown, customized decorative metal accents and gorgeous landscaped gardens are just the cherries on top. A resident’s salon, fitness center, yoga garden and rooftop park are also available to residents. A true getaway in the heart of Manhattan, 250 East 21st Street is the height of urban living. $5.995 million, Fredrik Eklund, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, 212.598.3199, [email protected]
