On a coveted front corner atop the dazzling One Beacon Court building,a co-founder of the Valentino fashion house made a perfectly apropos home amid the prestigious architecture of Cesar Pelli and the meticulous, internationally acclaimed interior design of Jacques Grange<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the chronicles of design, 1960 is a banner year, marking the moment when Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti joined forces to found the now-legendary Valentino fashion house. In the ensuing decades, the atelier established a reputation for flowing fabrics, figure-flattering shapes, a passionate use of color\u2014including the poppy-inspired Valentino red\u2014and a delicate balance of trendsetting and nostalgic designs that ensured Valentino\u2019s permanence in the annals of fashion history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New York, New York<\/a>\u00a0| Allison B. Koffman<\/a>, Juliette R. Janssens<\/a>, Nadia O’Reilly<\/a>, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 East Side Manhattan Brokerage<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

It seems entirely fitting, then, that such an illustrious member of the design c\u00f4terie would establish his Manhattan residence here, on a coveted front corner at the top of the dazzling One Beacon Court building<\/a>, which combines the prestigious architecture of Cesar Pelli and the meticulous, internationally acclaimed interiors of Frenchman Jacques Grange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Soaring ceilings prompt rhyming descriptions of the home as an \u201cairy aerie,\u201d and much of the wall space is dedicated to floor-to-ceiling windows that admit spectacular floods of light. Some 40 windows, combined with the penthouse\u2019s rarefied position, command sincerely cinematic panoramas that encompass the verdant expanse of Central Park, the captivating city skyline, and two rugged rivers spanned by iconic bridges. The remainder of the wall space in the home has been purposefully scaled and positioned for the display of an impressive art collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rooms are generously proportioned throughout the 3,779-square-foot floor plan. The corner living room flows effortlessly to a handsome library area with built-in bookshelves and the formal dining room, creating a magnificent sweep of space for sky-high entertaining. Suitable for catering these festive f\u00eates is the consummately streamlined Poggenpohl kitchen, which is equipped with top-tier appliances. The accompanying breakfast area is ideal for quiet casual meals\u2014or simply feasting on the vista.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sizeable and significant, the primary bedroom adds Central Park views to a list of allures that includes a gloriously sunny spa-inspired marble bath, a custom dressing room lined with shelving, and a walk-in closet. Guests will appreciate the privacy and seclusion of their own wing, which includes two tranquil bedrooms, each with an en suite bath. Visitors or staff can arrive via any of the three entrances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Every detail has been thoughtfully curated. State-of-the-art lighting, motorized window shades, and a superior sound system join bespoke design details\u2014such as window-separating columns clad in Indian mica and leopard-print-covered floors\u2014seemingly to remain in keeping with the Valentino mission of blending luxury, comfort, and function.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One Beacon Court is approached by a private circular driveway\u2014eye-catching in its own right from an aerial vantage. The address is perfectly suited for an individual perpetually near the nexus of creative and design life: premier shops, Michelin-starred restaurants, a host of cultural landmarks, and the inviting refuge of Central Park are all within easy reach. Residents enjoy access to exceptional amenities that make living a busy international life as easy as possible: a fitness center with inspiring skyline views, a playroom, an entertainment suite, a lounge and business center, doorman and concierge services, and round-the-clock valet parking.<\/p>\n
