Complete with a one-of-a-kind, loft-like living space that is ideal for the most discerning entertainer, this resplendent abode is a piece of New York history, akin to living in a classic work of art.

A stately set of grand wooden piano double doors open into the ballroom-like living/dining room, a wide-open space with soaring ceilings matched by intricately designed crown molding and lovely hardwood floors. Two fireplaces (one working, one decorative) are set in the original 1800s marble mantles, custom historic pieces hand-carved in Italy. A dramatic pair of French double door-windows open onto dual Juliet balconies, filling the entire room with natural light. Open the windows and turn your living room into an al fresco oasis overlooking this tranquil tree-lined block, or for more privacy pull closed the gorgeous shutters, recently reconstructed to match the nineteenth-century originals. With space for a variety of setups to suit your taste, this room is a truly magnificent area for entertaining, having been used in the past for fundraisers and other elite events, while the oversized walls are the perfect space for a refined art lover to show off their collection. The oversized windows in both the living room in the front and the rooms in the back of the floor-through provide exceptional light and cross-ventilation.

An arched entryway leads back to the spacious kitchen, outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances including a Fisher & Paykel fridge, Viking stove, and Bosch dishwasher. The high ceilings and beautiful crown molding continue into the sunny bedroom, set in the back of the apartment for optimal privacy and quiet. The alcove bed space is framed on either side by a divine pair of arched closets with exquisite details. The pass-through marble bathroom can be accessed from either the bedroom or an additional alcove space off of the living room, where youll find yet another closet, with storage space that stretches all the way to the ceiling. (An additional large storage unit conveys with the apartment). This grand dame apartment is currently configured as a huge one-bedroom, but could be converted to a spacious two-bedroom if desired.
