It’s a prime pied-à-terre for Garten, who has a big estate in East Hampton where she films her show. It’s not as sprawling as her other home, but by New York City standards it’s luxurious and spacious with a living room that has a 10 foot ceiling. The apartment features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library, and three fireplaces. Of course, there’s a newly remodeled kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet storage, and unique décor details like an oversized light fixture and striped countertops. The listing photos show a beautifully decorated pre-war space with plenty of natural sunlight—its previous owner was a former editor-in-chief of a design magazine. Nearby, there’s plenty to do with Central Park and designer boutiques stores like Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman nearby.
