The great room is a breathtaking centerpiece, with a wood burning fireplace, featuring corner apex windows that frame stunning views of the Hudson River, bathing the space in natural light throughout the day. This remarkable residence not only offers a luxurious lifestyle but also a connection to the rich tapestry of New York City's history, with past residents like Greta Garbo adding to its storied charm.
