Hotel Des Artistes, Estate of the Day

My library love reaches it ultimate point in today's property a duplex at The Hotel Des Artistes, 1 West 67th in New York City. The building is located off Central Park West and designed by George Mort Pollard in a Neo-Gothic-style building in 1916. The nine-room duplex opens to a large foyer and a great room with a wall of double height leaded glass windows. The room is framed by a double height, oak paneled 2,500 volume library and the floor plan shows the layout which includes a media room with a wine cave on one side balanced by a formal dining room and kitchen on the other. Upstairs is given over to bedrooms with a master suite in a private wing that has an ample dressing room. Three other bedrooms plus a small office are located on the other side. Building amenities include a La Palestra Health Club, pool, squash court and roof terrace and there is a concierge and an elevator attendant. This apartment is listed at $6.95 million through Sotheby's.
