MIDTOWN MASTERY

Smack dab in the middle of midtown, 28 W. 38th Street is a stylish full-floor loft with three exposures that’s been elegantly designed with incredible attention to detail. Both the living/dining rooms feature marble and stone mosaic floors, chrome ceilings, silklined walls, a decorative fireplace, and a wall of closets. The den comes with checkered marble floors, brass ceilings, mahogany walls, and cedar floor-to-ceiling closets. The master bedroom sports marble floors, silk walls, and its ensuite bathroom boasts handpainted Chinoiserie walls, double sinks, a bidet, and Sherle Wagner fixtures. A windowed dressing room easily converts to a library or study. The enormous chef’s eat-in kitchen is dressed up in marble floors, too—along with Venetian plaster and rubbed vinyl walls, a Portuguese-tiled wall, tin ceilings, and a marble-topped island. Appliances are topdrawer and the stove is professional grade. Other extras include a home office and video intercom. $2.275 million. IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY.
