Sited in one of Carnegie Hill’s finest prewar Park Avenue buildings, this 6-room home is located on a mid-floor and offers a flexible floor plan. There is a private elevator landing and a 15-foot gallery leading to a grand 26′ × 16′ living room with large picture windows and a woodburning fireplace. High beamed ceilings, perfectly preserved herringbone floors, traditional moldings and original hardware may be found throughout the home. The residence includes a vast dining room which could easily serve as a library/family room. In addition, there are three bedrooms and three full-baths. The apartment is in need of a renovation and has excellent potential. This distinctive 14-story apartment building of neo-Georgian design incorporates architectural details inspired by the temples of ancient Greece and Rome. Designed by New York’s preeminent residential architectural firm of Schwartz & Gross, the historic structure with a limestone base was completed in 1925 and converted to a cooperative in 1957. The elegant lobby with its marble floors and walls is reminiscent of the hallways found in palaces and extends toward the back of the building. Amenities include 24-hour doormen, concierge service, a private gymnasium and storage facilities
