Food Network star Ina Garten has purchased a stunning upper east Side apartment, and naturally it comes with a kitchen that’s fit for a chef extraordinaire. The Barefoot Contessa and husband Jeffrey Garten, a Yale university dean emeritus, bought the picture-perfect Park Avenue pied-à-terre from Nancy Novogrod, former editor-in-chief of both travel + leisure and Condé Nast’s house & garden magazines for $4.65 million.
The 2,450-square-foot unit has 10-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Click through for a tour of the space.
The pre-war, co-op style apartment offers a tranquil feel, complete with large windows and luxe finishes.
A wood-burning fireplace lined with unique stones creates a cozy ambiance, while hits of gold add subtle glam.
Furniture in a neutral palette complements the polished-wood floor.
The newly-renovated kitchen boasts high-end appliances, Belgian bluestone countertops and a marble backsplash.
The most colourful part of the home is the dining room, where works of art are set off by a vibrant red wall.
An almost-square corner library features a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves — perfect for Ina’s cookbook collection.
The master bedroom is serene with a muted blue palette, coffered ceilings and custom millwork and molding.
