Lawyerly Lairs: A Wachtell Lipton Partner's $5.4 Million Prewar Palace

He and his wife, an interior designer, did a beautiful renovation before moving in.

In December 2016, the Savitts paid $5.4 million for their four bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath apartment. Its gracious layout unfolds over almost 2,800 square feet of living space. (Quibble: usually apartments this expensive and fabulous have more bathrooms than bedrooms, but with three residents — the Savitts and their 16-year-old daughter — there are more than enough toilets to go around.)

Indeed, the layout was a big selling point, as Nazak Savitt told the Times:

“I thought this layout was very intelligently done, and I just fell in love. And the bathroom and closet,” she said, pausing for a breath while showing a reporter her home, “wait until you see them.”

Yes, let’s see them! From the Corcoran listing:

Beautiful. The floor is heated, of course; placing one’s bare feet on cold Carrara marble just wouldn’t do at all! And it has windows — yes, plural — which is a rarity here in Manhattan. (The walk-in shower is windowed, but Peeping Toms will have a tough time catching the Savitts in dishabille; they live on the sixth floor.)

Nazak Savitt is right about the amazing closet space. This isn’t just a “walk-in” closet, it’s a “sit-in” closet:

The actual master bedroom might be the least exciting part of this “most enchanting master bedroom suite.” Here’s how it looked in the original listing, done up in a bland, West Elm-style designed to offend nobody:

Props to what Nazak Savitt did with this space, making it look less like a hotel room and more like the Upper West Side home that it is:

The other bedrooms aren’t half-bad either. This one was styled as a children’s room (although we suspect that the Savitts’ daughter has redecorated):

We’ve reversed the order of the typical Lawyerly Lairs post. Let’s double back and check out the public rooms….
