Located on the seventh floor of the legendary Dakota, this 8-room home has a Park view and offers grand-scale rooms in a gracious layout.  The apartment's original 19th century architectural details have been preserved throughout.  The residence features 3 woodburning fireplaces, exquisite Mahogany woodworking, 12-foot ceilings, 10-foot doorways, original plaster moldings, and original Ash and Mahogany doors, baseboards and floors.  One enters the apartment through a private vestibule which leads to a 38-foot gallery, opening onto the public rooms of the home.  The grand 27-foot corner living room faces Central Park and has a woodburning fireplace and a planting balcony. A set of pocket doors off the gallery opens onto library, which also has a fireplace. A set of double doors off the gallery opens to an elegant 24-foot, South-facing formal dining room with a fireplace and tall pocket doors.  The vast windowed, eat-in-kitchen also faces South, and has a large butler's pantry.  The apartment has 3 bedrooms along the Northern wing of the home and ample closet space.  There is also a staff room.  Designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, and completed in 1884, the Dakota is one of the world's greatest and most renowned residential buildings.  Its monumental form, embellished with ornate finials and Gothic gables, make it one of New York's most iconic structures.  A unique gaslit entry and enchanting center courtyard add to its old-world charm.  The cooperative offers residents the highest levels of privacy, service and luxury in one of Manhattan's most distinguished landmarked buildings.
