Stribling Marketing Associates has launched sales at Philip House at 141 East 88th Street, a classic pre-war that has been redesigned by the Cheshire Group LLC with designer Victoria Hagan.
Originally built in the 1927 by the Rhinelander Real Estate Company, one of New York City’s first real estate dynasties, the building has been renamed to pay homage to the family’s patriarch, Philip.
Designed in a Renaissance Revival style, the classic brick and limestone 11-story building has undergone a complete transformation to 79 units “offering a modern twist on traditional living.ˮ
Jenifer Steig, a partner at Cheshire Group, commented, “While retaining the authenticity of an Upper East Side home, Philip House has been carefully reconfigured and opened to allow for abundant natural light. This building captures the grace of tradition while offering the conveniences of today.”
Hagan has created homes ranging from 702 s/f one-bedrooms to 3,795 s/f five-bedrooms. A select number of duplex penthouses will be available for purchase in early 2013.
Custom kitchens have Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf ranges and Miele dishwashers. Many residences provide custom banquettes, wet bars and pocket doors. Kitchens, hallways, living and dining rooms offer remote controlled programmable light fixtures.
“Philip House is a hidden gem that reveals something special in every detail,” said Steve Rutter, executive vice president and managing director of Stribling, the exclusive agent for the property. “It’s always been here, New York just hasn’t discovered it yet. We expect our buyers to fall in love with it.”
Prices range from $850,000 to $8.14 million.
