A gorgeous brownstone façade and high-stoop entry welcome you inside this spectacular residence filled with gleaming hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and coveted architectural details. Once used as a magnificent entertaining space, the home beautifully combines areas for quiet relaxation and lavish gatherings. The parlor level makes a wonderful first impression with its herringbone floors, stately fireplace and beautiful walk-up bar. Ahead, the boldly elegant dining room beckons with red-lacquer finishes and a large, enclosed loggia perfect for after-dinner drinks.
On the garden level, the well-planned kitchen boasts Shaker cabinetry, handsome tile and upscale stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking six-burner range. The adjacent family room conveys Gilded Age palm court style with delightful latticework and arched French doors that open to the spacious rear yard. Lounge on patios alongside the sparkling splash pool while tall privacy fencing and lovely landscaping create a tranquil outdoor sanctuary.
A bathroom and a bedroom with a private entrance complete the garden level. Ascend the ornate central stair to the third floor where two sunny bedrooms flank a beautiful Jack-and-Jill bathroom finished with a clawfoot tub, double vanity and separate shower. Above, you'll find the perfect footprint for a luxurious full-floor owner's suite with northern and southern exposures, a fireplace, a steam room and sauna. This home's crowning glory is its tropical top-floor penthouse solarium featuring red tile floors, a wet bar and expansive terraces facing front and back. Open the doors on both sides and allow guests to mix and mingle among the city skyline. A basement with storage and an oversized laundry area with two sets of washer-dryers adds effortless ease to this exceptional residence.
From this serene mid-block position, you'll enjoy a charming streetscape lined with trees and impeccably maintained brownstones. This intimate, welcoming community is also close to fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues, with Central Park and the Museum Mile just three blocks away. Transportation options are abundant with 4/5/6 and Q trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the FDR all within reach.
