Pre-war details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and crown moldings add character throughout the home. The spacious living room features two double glass doors with motorized shades leading to the terrace, oversized picture windows showcasing open city views, a dining area, and a wood-burning fireplace with a Sienna marble hearth and mantle.

The spa-like bathroom includes a soaking tub, walk-in shower, Waterworks fixtures, and ample natural light from a window with beautiful westward views. Venetian plaster walls throughout, central air conditioning, generous closet space, and an ADT alarm system add to the home's refined touches. The private landing was decorated with ceramic tiles and crown molding and all the doors including the elevator doors were stripped down and refinished by an artist.
