Description
From the elegant private landing, one enters the impressive Gallery featuring high ceilings, beautiful moldings, and stunning quartersawn herringbone floors. One of the unique features of this special 7 into 6 room residence is that all the rooms are exterior. The enormous Living Room has a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful dentil crown molding, and herringbone floors. The oversized windows offer magnificent views of the stately turn-of-the-century mansions which line 79th Street. One can entertain in style in the stunning aubergine lacquered dining room with a wall of custom bookshelves facing Madison Avenue. The Second Bedroom has been converted into a wonderfully inviting and light-filled Library with custom bookshelves and a full windowed ensuite bathroom making it the perfect place to read, enjoy afternoon tea or an after-dinner drink or house an overnight guest.
A private hallway leads to the sun-flooded Primary Bedroom Suite which wraps the southwest corner offering lovely views, a dressing area, multiple walk-in closets, and a large ensuite windowed bathroom.
There is an enormous Eat-in Chef's Kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and counter space, and a Butler's Pantry with a second entrance to the dining room. Off the kitchen is a Washer/Dryer, a Powder Room, a small Office, and an enormous storage closet.
