PARLOR FLOOR
Enter on grade through the gracious foyer that sits alongside one of Manhattan's most desired townhouse features: a private garage. Limestone clad floors with superb wood-paneled walls lead to the gracious curved stairway that abuts the elevator servicing all six floors. The hallway extends to the extraordinary Atelier living room, a magical room of epic proportions with 14-foot tall ceilings and a grand fireplace with the most unique feature of all: a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a back-lit terrarium conservatory filled with plantings all year round. Also on this floor are a temperature-controlled wine room, a wet-bar, and a powder room.
SECOND FLOOR
The spacious landing leads south to an elegant formal dining room with a fireplace. Across the hall is the large eat-in kitchen with custom cerused oak cabinetry, Miele and Sub Zero appliances, and Calcutta gold marble island, countertops, and backsplashes. There is a bar area with a Subzero cooler and Scottsman ice maker. A pantry also features marble counters. This perfectly proportioned area leads out onto a landscaped entertaining terrace with a Wolf Grill and Subzero fridge.
THIRD FLOOR
This entire floor is dedicated to the Primary Bedroom Suite with its large, south-facing windows, and includes an en-suite bathroom bathed in natural light and splendidly finished with Calcutta marble, Waterworks Henry fixtures, a Polished nickel Drummonds tub, twin vanities, a steam room, and a 3-in-1 full spectrum infrared sauna. Masses of closet space connect the bedroom and bathroom.
FOURTH FLOOR
