Upstairs, private quarters are serene and expansive. The Primary Suite is a delight, with a Park Avenue-facing Bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace. At 26 feet in length, this room is flooded with morning sunlight and supported by two very ample paneled Dressing Rooms with custom-fitted storage, and two marble bathrooms. There are three additional Bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom; two of these have glorious east-facing outlooks over Park Avenue.

Throughout this splendid residence, impressive scale, tall ceilings, and the pleasing proportions of the rooms lend themselves effortlessly to the notion of elegant entertaining. In addition, the apartment's meticulous renovation underscores these attributes and incorporates exquisite custom finishes and modern convenience, such as multi-zone central air conditioning, Lutron lighting, and sound and shade control systems.
