Elegant classic 5 room home, plus a separate staff room office, is located in a fine prewar limestone and brick building, designed in 1929 by Schwartz and Gross. The main rooms flow from a gracious entry gallery that opens to the step down living room with a wood burning fireplace. The lovely dining room overlooks the living room. All create wonderful flow and space for gracious living and entertaining. The predominant south exposure naturally lights the entire apartment and offers great open views.

The lobby level staff room looks into the beautiful gardens of the building, and is just right for a home office, studio, or for live in help. The building has 24 hour doorman, elevator operators, storage room, bicycle and fitness center and central laundry room. Pied a terres permitted. Pet friendly.
