The Laureate, a luxury condo building on New York City’s Upper West Side on the corner of 76th Street and Broadway is a 20-story building with classic style. Built in 2011, the building has a granite and limestone base and blends seamlessly with the city.
Today’s home is a three-bedroom unit particularly notable for its 482-square-foot private terrace accessible from the living and dining rooms through French doors. The wall of windows that line the terrace flood the apartment with light and frame open city views North and East towards Central Park.
From the gracious entry gallery to the 24-foot-long living room, formal dining room and private bedroom wing, the high-end finishes and fine attention to detail are apparent.
The corner Kitchen with wrap glass walls also enjoys open views with direct access to the terrace completing the home’s extended entertaining space. The kitchen has a central island with seating, quartzite counters, stainless steel tile back splash and Sub-Zero and Viking appliances including a wine refrigerator, six-burner range, and warming drawer. The master suite has two closets, one of which is a full separate room, and floor-to-ceiling French doors that open a decorative Juliet balcony with iconic city views of classic prewar buildings that line Broadway. The two guest bedrooms are well proportioned with large windows and well-sized closets.
This residence features 3.5″ walnut floors, automatic shades on all windows, custom moldings, 11-foot ceilings, and a large utility room with side by side washer and dryer. There is a Crestron smart home technology system with integrated sound system, multi-zoned central air conditioning, and energy efficient, sound attenuated windows throughout.
Building amenities include a 24-hour attended lobby and concierge, live-in resident manager, landscaped common terraces, fitness center, lounge, music room, children’s playroom with an outdoor playground, private storage, bike storage, pet spa and parking garage.
