GARDEN FLOOR

Enter this magnificent residence through an elegant lobby with a gorgeous arched entryway that is a theme throughout the house. One will also immediately notice light coming in from the additional side-exposure windows.

The rear of the Garden Floor features a small home office as well as a large den with built-ins, a wall of glass windows and a door to the outdoor garden. This is a great multi-purpose room. The garden is wood surfaced, planted and furnished with tasteful lattice enclosures. Another unique feature to the house is that the garden has direct access to the walkway along the side of 925 Park Avenue, which is convenient for deliveries, service appointments and other practical home needs.

The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and original oversized arched windows facing South, flooding the floor with light. The formal dining room with custom hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper has a gas fireplace and bar.
