Perfectly located in the heart of the Upper East Side, this wonderful full-floor residence benefits from an expansive and versatile layout and elegant proportions. With high-floor outlooks in four directions, the apartment is also gloriously sun-filled and awash with exceptional detail, such as original wood paneling and a plethora of custom millwork, as well as four wood-burning fireplaces. From wood-paneled private elevator landing, a Gallery with pleasing proportions and a wood-burning fireplace serves as the focal point of this residence. An attractively arched corridor opens to the large, south-facing Living Room and the adjacent very handsome wood-paneled corner Library, both with wood-burning fireplaces. Nearby, a convenient wet bar, powder room and coat closets are accessible. The splendid Dining Room offers lovely western views from far, and a further wood-burning fireplace. Beyond, a large and very bright open chef's Kitchen wraps the northwest corner of the building and is supported by a serving pantry, a Laundry Room, and a Staff Room with an ensuite bathroom. Private Quarters include a lovely Primary Bedroom Suite comprised of a large east-facing Bedroom, a small Office, a Dressing Room with ample closets, and a large ensuite corner bath.
