Description

This is an 18 into 12 room duplex on the 11th and 12th floors of a much sought after white glove pre-war cooperative. It was designed as a duplex for the Bloomingdale family when the building was constructed and is not a combination of two apartments. The result is a wonderful sprawling layout, enhanced for today's style of living. Entrance is from a double elevator landing into an oversized gallery with powder room. The living room with wood burning fireplace and formal dining room are on opposite sides of the gallery. At the end are a bedroom and a family room, both with bathrooms en suite. The family room can easily be converted back to 2 bedrooms. Off the dining room is the enormous windowed eat-in chef's kitchen with all top appliances and a laundry room. A graceful curved staircase leads to the upper level into another gallery with a half bathroom. On one side is the library with wood burning fireplace. On the other side are 4 bedrooms, including the corner master bedroom with bathroom en suite, 3 additional bedrooms, one with bathroom en suite and 2 with a shared bathroom. There is also a large study/sitting room which could be used as a bedroom. There are pre-war details throughout, including high ceilings, hardwood floors and moldings, as well as new windows and central A/C with 4 zones - 2 downstairs and 2 upstairs. A double storage bin conveys with the apartment. The building itself is highly serviced, with two at the door and ample staff. There is also a gym.
