Description
Welcome to this sun-filled corner 7 into 6-room apartment overlooking Park Avenue.
Off the semi-private elevator landing is a gracious foyer with generous closets that opens to an expansive living room with adjacent dining room, elegantly separated by sliding beveled glass pocket doors beneath a graceful glass -paneled arch. Each room overlooks tree-lined 75th Street. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with an elegant carved marble mantle.
The windowed eat-in kitchen boasts marble and butcher block countertops, mounted glass paneled wall cabinets, a center counter with double sinks, and an abundance of storage - making it ideal for any chef as well as for informal dining. Off the kitchen is a windowed staff room with full bath, which can be recreated as a third bedroom/home office or restored to a second staff room.
The two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home, creating a separation between the public rooms and private living quarters. The gracious primary bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling enclosed cabinets, features a stunning unobstructed view over tree-lined Park Avenue and 75th Street, and offers a sliver view of Central Park. The second bedroom, accessed by a separate hallway off the foyer, also faces the avenue. Both rooms have ensuite bathrooms with glass enclosed tubs and ample storage space.
All rooms have unobstructed views from their 18 windows.
