This elegant and glamorous corner residence is the epitome of Upper East Side chic. The sprawling 16 into 14 room duplex apartment boasts grandly scaled sun-filled rooms that are ideal for major entertaining as well as for gracious living. Distinguished by a versatile plan, noteworthy architectural details include soaring high ceilings, immaculate hardwood floors, hand carved moldings and period fireplace mantle pieces. However, it is the plethora of glorious open exposures over the broad sweep of Park Avenue and 79th Street that are most distinctive and unique. The expansive Gallery features a sweeping circular staircase and opens onto a huge corner Living Room. There is also a handsome Library and a lovely and large Dining Room with double exposures. Each of these impressive public rooms feature a wood burning fireplace. A Powder Room is accessible from the Entry Hall as is a nice large Guest Bedroom with en-suite Bath. The sizable Butler's Pantry and lovingly restored original Kitchen adjoin a charming Breakfast Room. Upstairs there is an exceedingly pretty corner Primary Bedroom with a large double Bath and very ample closets and a Dressing Area. The current Primary Bedroom Sitting Room was originally a big second Bedroom also with en-suite Bath and Dressing Area, and is able to be easily restored as such. Additionally, there are two more cheery Bedrooms situated along Park Avenue, with en-suite Baths. Three Staff Rooms & two Baths are accessed off of the upstairs back corridor. Additionally, there is a walk-in sauna that was previously a Staff Room and most conveniently there is a back staircase. This area easily lends itself to reconfiguration should an additional sixth Bedroom be required, or to supplement the dressing quarters of the Primary Suite. Embodying refined sophistication, this divine apartment is situated in a white-glove prewar cooperative where residents enjoy access to a fitness center, squash court, basketball court and private storage.
