An abundance of natural light and open views, each floor is graced with exquisite details and a sense of warmth and home. The parlor level showcases 12-foot ceilings, custom mahogany windows, and restored original plasterwork, complemented by new white oak floors and a working wood-burning fireplace.

The renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a Bluestar gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and bookend-matched quartzite surfaces. Step out onto the terrace and enjoy the serene rear garden, adorned with flowering trees sourced from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

The second floor could be used as two gracious bedrooms boasting walk-in and walk-through closets or it could be used as gracious full floor primary bedroom. The elegant primary bath with radiant heated floors is adorned with fixtures by Vola. Designed by Chris McVoy of Steven Holl Architects, the fourth and fifth floors offer additional bedrooms, a full en-suite bath with radiant heated flooring, wood-burning fireplace, laundry facilities, and a sun-filled guest suite with a den, bedroom, full bath, and ample storage.

The garden-level apartment, renovated in 2017, features contemporary finishes and original details, including a kitchen with Miele and Dakor appliances and quartzite counters. Laundry, new oak floors, and a private entrance make it an ideal high-end rental.

Recent building-wide mechanical upgrades include landmark windows, new plumbing and electrical systems, and a high-efficiency hot air furnace.
