NO BOARD APPROVAL! This full-floor, 3 Bedroom/3.5 Bathroom apartment, spanning nearly 2000 square feet, features walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, heated 7-inch wide white oak flooring, multi-zone heating and cooling systems, LED lighting throughout, and direct elevator access into the apartment. The finishes and color palette blend seamlessly with each other and the wide swath of visible sky. A sleek open kitchen comes equipped with a full range of Miele appliances, framed by custom Poggenpohl cabinetry and quartz-topped counters. A floating island provides the kitchen's perfect, and practical, centerpiece. The master bedroom is a retreat within a retreat. Equipped with ample closet space and en-suite bath, the oversized windows add a sense of space to this lap of luxury. The master bathroom is outfitted with Carrara Blanco-style marble floors and marble wall tiles by Porcelanosa. A Kohler soaking tub and open shower with a modesty partition in frosted glass are serene counterpoints to the extra-large gray quartz countertop with double sink, custom white matte lacquered vanities, generous medicine cabinet, and Watermark features. This apartment comes with TWO large balconies that feature breathtaking views, one facing south and west and the other south and east. The Clare's full floor of amenities, perched 13-stories high with 12-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, includes a fitness center and wellness studio; a spacious lounge with a dining room, living room, entertainment center, and pantry, outfitted in walnut and stainless steel; and an 800-square-foot landscaped terrace. The views are beyond magnificent, with city views towards Central Park, the Roosevelt Island Tram, the 59th Street Bridge, and Downtown. The Clare has been brought to life by Manuel Glas Architects, known for their intelligent use of space and innovative, modern compositions. New Yorkers passing by cannot help but be moved by the magnificent light that reflects off a facade of panels by Porcelanosa, natural Indian limestone, and glass.
