Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive eat-in kitchen, which includes a sunny courtyard view, custom cabinetry, a cozy built-in banquette, and a suite of high-end appliances including a SubZero refrigerator, double wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, and a separate cooktop.  Adjacent is a versatile space that can serve as a large staff room, a third bedroom, or an ideal home office, complemented by an en suite half bath.

The separate bedroom wing houses a palatial 13 by 23-foot primary suite with a dressing room, three walk-in closets, and an en suite bath showcasing impeccably preserved Emery Roth tiling, a luxurious deep cast iron soaking tub, and a separate shower stall. The suite is blessed with the same awe-inspiring views of the Museum, Planetarium, and Central Park.

A tranquil second bedroom presents a peaceful courtyard view, ample closet space, and a personal en suite bath adorned with timeless tiling and fixtures. This bath also serves as a convenient guest powder room with hallway access.
