205 West 57th Street
Once you step into the dazzling byzantine lobby, adorned with painted frescoes and gilded tiling, you know you are in a special place. This home is owned by one of China's most well known philanthropists, Eric Hotung, and was used as an extra space for guests or staff. The finishes are as rich as a journey down the Silk Road. The ceilings are 12'+/- and adorned with the original Tiffany glass transoms from 1885. Overlooking the corner of 57th St and 7th Ave, all of the 8'+/- windows face Carnegie Hall and down to Times Sq. The decorative accoutrements include fully paneled walls and ceilings in mahogany, an electric Murphy bed encased in mahogany, Puccio onyx jade soaking tub, WC, and shower room. For those who prefer more space, this apartment may be combined with the 2 bedroom next door which is in original condition and ready for your personal touch. Live in the charm of yesteryear with the comforts of today.
