Perched on the fifth and sixth floors, the residence is surrounded by treetops and bathed in natural light from open east and west exposures. The expansive great room, anchored by a  gas fireplace , offers elegant flow for entertaining and everyday living-overlooking  Roosevelt Park, the Planetarium,  and the  Museum of Natural History. A flexible layout allows for multiple bonus spaces-ideal for a  home office, gym, media room, or guest suite.  The serene primary suite features  radiant-heated floors  and an  oversized soaking tub , creating a private, spa-like retreat.   Custom millwork, abundant closets,  and  thoughtful storage  enhance the home's sophistication and livability.

Restored and converted in 2017, the building seamlessly blends 19th-century architecture with 21st century luxury featuring  10'6" ceilings, oversized windows, wide plank white oak herringbone floors, hand-painted Smallbone of Devizes kitchens, honed Carrara marble,  and  Waterworks fixtures. Residents enjoy a  24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage,  and  cold storage.
