Lee Radziwill – The late celebrity, interior designer and sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – said Elle Decor: “I have never had a place where there was no fantastic light.” A look at her former Coop of the Upper East Side shows that this duplex was no exception.
Radziwill's former house in the 969 Fifth Avenue was most recently owned by the Philanthrops Suzanne von Liebig, who, according to Listing Broker Adam Modlin from Modlin Group, bought it for 7.6 million dollars. It was recently listed for almost 17 million US dollars. In a report by The real deal, Modlin calls the 4,600 square meter duplex with a view of the central park and the Fifth Ave “a rare jewel” and praised Liebig's maintenance of the room, which contained a paint and floor load before listing.
The warm, darker palette of the library is a departure from the brightness of the rest of the duplex.
The duplex is located on the fifth and sixth floor The real deal Reports. With this placement, the expected advantages – 24/7 doors, a private elevator, a private storage space – and more difficult functions, such as the wooden library, which feels more in European castle than the metropolitan apartment.
The foyer combines slim and replacement chessboard floor tiles and white-washed walls with more complicated, gold-accentated design elements
The apartment comprises three bedrooms, four bathrooms and an invitingly informal kitchen. Rich, dark woodwork and happy yellow fabric accents are common through lines. With the Metropolitan Museum of Art, less than four blocks away and Central Park as a modest 843 hectare backyard comprises this house an installed access to culture and relaxation that every New York would desire.
The dining room has a statement wallpaper that correlates with the yellow china cabinet and carpet (corresponds to that on the foyer staircase).
Although Radziwill was not the youngest owner, photos make it easy, both reasons why she was dressed in the room and the influence she left on the design. The wallpaper in the dining room is typical of the Radziwill, which is an affinity for the lids of their walls in Paris and New York with uniquely patterned fabrics and preferred chinoisery and Indian art motifs.
The spacious main bedroom offers plenty of space for additional seating, parking and plenty of morning light.
The crown shape and the sun contract lighting-as possible through an excess window, which looks in the tree seesaw-a subtle Paris ambience, another high-quality cycling. “If New York gets too stressful, I know that it is time to come to Paris,” she said to Elle Decor. In addition to several houses in Manhattan, she also had a Balconied Paris apartment near Jardin du Ranelagh.
The duplex is listed with Adam D. Modlin of 16.9 million US dollars Modlin group.
