Description
A private elevator landing leads to a gracious entry gallery with a cozy reading nook. Step down to a grandly scaled, airy, corner 35' wood-paneled living room facing South, where decorative plasterwork adorns the 10-foot-high ceiling. This magnificent room has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, two distinct seating areas and a working fireplace. It is truly the heart of the apartment and overlooks lovely and leafy gardens. An elegant formal dining room, also facing South, leads to a large eat-in kitchen, two staff rooms plus bath, one now being used as a laundry room.
Separated from the entertaining rooms by a private hallway, the bedroom quarters feature a southwest corner primary bedroom suite with a wood burning fireplace and double walk-in closets. The primary bath is large and there is an additional bath off the primary bedroom.
Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms with Jack and Jill baths also flow off the hallway. Each bedroom faces North onto 79th Street. Two staff rooms could easily be combined to create a spacious fourth bedroom with its own bath.
