171 W 71ST Street #87

This magnificent, eleven-room duplex offers its new owner the square footage you might find in a single-family townhouse but with the ease of only two floors and the services of one of the city's most coveted Beaux-Arts buildings. Perfect for entertaining, this stunning home offers two kitchens (one on each floor with a dumb waiter connecting them) and a grand formal dining room and den with leaded glass windows, original wood beams, and decorative fireplaces. The living room and library have two, open, sunny exposures with French windows and Juliet balconies. There are four or five bedrooms including a luxurious primary with an enormous walk-in closet and an enlarged bathroom, with a separate stall shower and tub. In addition to the multiple bedrooms, there are other rooms that can be used as staff quarters, a home office, or simply extra storage. Additional features of this sun-flooded home are a 30-foot entry hall, four and a half bathrooms, French doors, ornate molding, central air conditioning, a sweeping staircase, and of course a washer/dryer. The Dorilton is an iconic, turn-of-the-century co-op with a wonderful staff including a full-time doorman, live-in super, an outside play area on the second floor, and a spectacular landscaped roof deck. PLEASE NOTE: Maintenance reflects a one-time owner rebate to the buyer of $30,000. Co-Exclusive with Douglas Elliman.
