THE RESIDENCE
A private elevator landing leads to a gracious entry gallery with a cozy reading nook.

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 the South, leads to a large eat-in kitchen, two staff rooms plus a bath, one now being used as a laundry room.

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.
