1020 Grand Concourse, Apt 23P (Executive Towers)

Bank Neary Real Estate is proud to offer for sale this sophisticatedly modern luxury convertible 2-bedroom apartment so masterfully designed and crafted that it is simply one of a kind! This is a chic downtown apartment perched high upon the Grand Concourse Historic District. You’ll have unmatched sweeping views from the Palisades, George Washington Bridge, the Art Deco splendor of the Grand Concourse neighborhood, down to the midtown Manhattan skyline. And watch and listen to crowds roar at Yankee Stadium. This is uptown living at its most compelling.
The apartment was created as his own home by a well-known NYC architect and president of AIANY, who has received multiple AIA and Interior Design awards, and is a recipient of the National AIA Young Architects Award. This property gives the buyer the unmatched opportunity to experience a designer’s complete vision, and live in a bespoke home with all the luxury bells and whistles. Available completely or partially furnished, this turn-key residence must be seen by any design enthusiast.
Situated on the 23rd floor of the famed 24-story Executive Towers, the crown jewel of the Grand Concourse Historic District, apartment 23P is 1,000 square feet of complete bliss and ultimate luxury. The architect radically reimagined what life could be like, taking the circa-1963 Junior-4 layout and bringing it into the 21st-century, adding a powder room and a built-in guest murphy bed in a lofty, open floor plan. Imagine your best life. Imagine life at 1020 Grand Concourse in apartment 23P!
Enter the sleek, capacious living/dining room and you immediately know that you are home. A custom seating area, home office nook, dining room with picture window and terrace door, and hidden murphy bed allow this bright, airy space to be the center of your new life. Opposite the dining room is the large custom open kitchen, powder room, and then the corner den (convertible to bedroom) complete with a built-in bar. Outside, enjoy the amazing views and light from your beautiful balcony, which has recently received brand-new railings. Perfect for large-scale entertaining, this amazing open plan is also great for relaxing, for working at home, and for intimate dinners!
Past the luxurious custom primary bath is the quiet refuge of the bedroom, with a custom-designed floating king bed to maximize space and frame cinematic GWB views from bed at night. A 25’ long wall of custom-fitted closets, all with motion-sensor lighting and 3-way mirrors provide ample storage for any fashionista.
