The well-conceived layout is ideal for meeting the daily needs of busy New Yorkers as well as providing for gracious entertaining.

Optimally sized for informal dining and leisure activities, this room can readily accommodate large gatherings or sizable dinner parties. Adjacent to the dining room is the renovated, windowed kitchen, an inviting space that adds to the comfort of this desirable home. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, endless custom cabinets and a W/D, the kitchen boasts a service entrance for added convenience. The oversized primary bedroom can easily serve multiple functions - perhaps a desk area or chaise lounge for the ultimate in relaxation. Completing the primary suite is a meticulously cared for original bath. A second sizable master with an identical bath offers leafy views, complete privacy and outstanding storage.
