Breathtakingly elegant and majestic, this spectacular 15 into 12 room corner residence is located in one of the most distinguished pre-war cooperatives on Museum Mile, representing the best of the renowned 1920s architect J.E.R. Carpenter. Boasting nearly 48 linear feet directly on Central Park and cornering the block at 87th Street with sun-drenched southern exposures, this exceptional five-bedroom, six-bathroom home effortlessly accommodates both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings. The private elevator vestibule opens on to an impressive gallery, which flows beautifully into all four principal public rooms, three with serene tree-top Fifth Avenue views. The stunning library is flanked by the corner double length living room, offering multiple seating areas, perfect art walls and a wood burning fireplace, and the stately formal dining room, also with an exquisitely detailed fireplace.
