This freshly renovated two-bedroom co-op is in the Beresford, a full-service Emery Roth building built in 1929. About 1,400 square feet, this 10-window home has views of Central Park that include the Reservoir and the Fifth Avenue skyline — the Jeff Koons sculptures currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden are visible from across the park. It contains a foyer, living room, kitchen (with granite countertops and backsplash and top-of-the-line appliances, including freezer and refrigerator drawers that are hidden behind the custom wood and glass cabinetry), master suite (with custom cherry wood closets and a marble bath), second bedroom (originally the library) and bath, and laundry nook. Design details include original herringbone and quarter sewn oak floors, vintage hardware (including Venetian glass doorknobs), mahogany pocket doors, and grass-cloth wall coverings. This home has central air-conditioning and new windows.
