This week’s unattainable apartment is located in the famed Dakota, at 1 West 72nd.

The fully renovated and completely restored 3,600 square foot, 9 room home, with 12 ft ceilings throughout, is in pristine condition with unique architectural details found only in the Dakota. The elegant foyer (with 3 large cedar closets) leads to a beautiful mahogany wood paneled living room with the first of 5 wood-burning fireplaces, perfect for gracious entertaining. The adjacent library, also with fireplace, accommodates a more intimate gathering. The formal dining room, with elaborately detailed carved ceiling and fireplace, is large enough to host a sit-down dinner for 20 or more.

Walk through the leaded glass paneled door to a huge gourmet chef’s kitchen that includes 3 ovens, a 6 burner stove with griddle, 2 Subzero refrigerators, 2 wine coolers, 3 sinks, and 2 dishwashers, all part of a Christianson custom designed, state-of-the-art kitchen.

The oversized family room, with built-in desk and storage cabintery, has been opened to the kitchen enabling views of the famous Dakota center courtyard to be seen from the kitchen as well. A separate laundry room off the kitchen has a full size side-by-side Miele Washer and Dryer, as well as a full sink, and mechanicals for the 4 zone central air-conditioning system in this exceptional apartment.

There are 3 full Bedrooms, two of which have working fireplaces, and 3 full bathrooms (all renovated with Waterworks and Kohler fixtures), one of which has a steam shower. The master bedroom has two enormous, custom designed walk-in closets. The ensuite pale green onyx master bathroom has a separate soaking tub and step-in shower with bench.

This apartment is being offered through Warburg Realty for $14,950,000. Monthly maintenance is $8,061 and a down payment of 50% is required.
