Design maestros Whitney Robinson, Elle Decor’s former editor-in-chief, and his husband, Marc Karimzadeh, editorial director for the Council of Fashion Designers of America, have just listed their lavishly renovated, .
(They bought theꦦ home for $1 million in 2014, then shelled out $400,000 on renovations.)
The Carnegie Hill building꧒, known as the Metropolitan, launched in 2004 and was one of 🍷the final commissions of legendary architect Philip Johnson. At 1,100 square feet, the one-bedroom, two-bath unit is straight out of the glossy pages of a shelter magazine.
A formal entry features Fromꦰental wallpaper, while the living room boasts hand-painted lacquered walls by Augustin Hurtado, custom oak bookcases, a faux fireplace, hardwood floors and windows overlooking townhouse gardens.
The large bedroom comes with bespoke closets and a spa-like bathroom that “instantly transports you to the Beverly Hills Hotel,” the listing (from mother-daughter team Wendy Sarasohn and Jamie S. Joseph of Brown Harris Stevens) notes.
The de﷽sign duo love the building so much that they’re now ensconced in a three-bedroom rental on a higher floor, wit𝓀h a terrace and Central Park views.
Last July, Robinso🌜n and Karimzadeh got hitched at Park Avenue Synagogue.
It was the first gay wedding held inside the conservative synagogue, with an over-th🍸e-to🍌p reception held at the Polo Bar.
