Located in one of the city's most prestigious prewar apartment houses, this gracious corner 14-room apartment is certain to impress. With 60' fronting the River, the residence is one of unsurpassed grandeur and Old World elegance. The home features soaring ceilings, exquisite crown moldings and original herringbone flooring and is bathed in extraordinary light streaming in from 34 windows, spanning 4 exposures. A private vestibule opens to a 34-foot gallery which leads directly to a sprawling 41-foot-by-21-foot corner living room with sweeping river views, three Juliet balconies and a wood-burning fireplace. An adjacent library with custom woodworking and a wood-burning fireplace also overlooks the River. An elegant 22-foot formal dining room accessed off the gallery overlooks a beautiful garden. There is a vast, sun-drenched kitchen with a butler's pantry, ample room for dining as well as a laundry room and separate staff quarters. The private wing of the home incorporates a separate hallway leading to the corner master suite with a fireplace and an adjacent dressing room that could be converted back to a bedroom. There are five additional bedrooms and four additional full baths. Built in 1925, the 13-story cooperative was designed by Rosario Candela. There is an elegant triple-arched porte-cochre entrance which leads to a palatial lobby overlooking a private garden leading to the East River. The building offers residents the highest levels of white-glove service.
