Description

Steps from Fifth Avenue and Central Park, this sun-filled, south-facing prewar home delivers scale, character, and flexibility. Currently configured as an oversized one-bedroom with formal living and dining, the layout converts smoothly to a well-proportioned two-bedroom.

A gracious foyer opens to an elegant living room with 9 ft beamed ceilings, refinished hardwoods, custom mahogany built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room connects to a windowed, updated kitchen outfitted with mahogany cabinetry and premium appliances by Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and Miele. A restored, windowed bath sits off the dining hall. The king-size bedroom faces south and can also be accessed from the living room.
