10 Gracie Square #3A

DAZZLING DUPLEX ON THE EAST RIVER
WOW! Upon entering this extraordinary architectural masterpiece through a private vestibule and gallery, one is awed by the magnificent direct river views through a wall of floor to ceiling windows in the incredibly large entertaining spaces. Soaring ceilings, beautifully proportioned rooms, custom bronze casement doors, ebonized wood floors and two gas burning fireplaces all contribute to a memorably restrained, impressive and elegant interior. A wide and inviting East facing terrace spans the entire width of the apartment and issues off these rooms. The corner library, facing East and South, has a view downriver to the Queensboro Bridge, while the grand living room and adjacent open plan dining room with additional fitted seating area, creatively designed for less formal dining, face a constantly changing river panorama with the Triborough Bridge in the background. The main floor also includes a large and well appointed washed oak paneled kitchen, a service room, a laundry room with utility area, and a remarkable powder room. The gallery has an open floating staircase leading to the master bedroom with gas burning fireplace, en suite dressing room, office, and unusually well fitted spa bathroom with large glass enclosed shower and bathing area incorporating an elliptical soaking tub and stone bench. This floor also includes three additional large bedrooms (one currently used as a media room) with en suite baths and generous closets. The back hall is lined with additional storage cabinets and closets and leads to a smaller back staircase. This apartment, designed by Daniel Romualdez, was featured on the cover of Elle Decor magazine.10 Gracie Square is one of the most pre-eminent co-op buildings in New York.
