1025 Fifth Ave Pied-à-Terre

Located across from the Metropolitan Museum and Central Park in NYC, this two-bedroom Upper East Side pied-à-terre was designed to be a simple, clean backdrop for the homeowner’s eclectic collection of art and furniture. White, minimalist walls and simple moldings allow the pieces to stand out, while still enabling the dark wood floors, millwork, and kitchen backsplash to compliment the rich furnishings. The apartment renovation included opening up the kitchen, which provides easier circulation and visual connection to the adjacent dining room, living room, and baby grand piano.
