This duplex apartment, in excellent condition, is the seamless combination of two units joined by a stunning, museum-quality winding staircase that looks original to the home. The beautiful layout begins with a gracious, central entry foyer, from which the main rooms on the fifth floor radiate. The side-by-side living room and formal dining room make a grand space ideal for entertaining. Beautiful restored details abound from the curving bay windows in the living room with built-in window seat, decorative fireplace with glazed terracotta tiles, and ornamental dentil moldings framing the beamed ceilings. There is also an in-unit Washer/Dryer for your convenience.
The windowed kitchen features professional grade stainless steel appliances including a Viking range, Meile dishwasher and brand new KitchenAid refrigerator. A farm sink, charming original cabinetry, butcher block counters and open shelving create a functional kitchen workspace designed by a former chef. There is a windowed full bathroom on each floor, beautifully renovated with sparkling marble tiled floors, pedestal sink, and clawfoot tubs (with shower head). There is one large bedroom on this floor that could also be a great den, library or other multi-purpose space. It has an incredibly deep walk-in closet.
Up the stairs to the sixth floor (or alternatively, there is an entrance to the apartment on six as well), the same gracious foyer greets you and is the central point from which the three bedrooms and bathroom connect. The king-sized primary bedroom is generous enough for a seating area or work space and boasts an impressive custom, walk-in closet. Another very large bedroom features the same beautiful bay windows and charming window seat as on the fifth floor and easily accommodates additional furniture for a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the household. The fourth bedroom would also make an ideal home office, guest room, or nursery. All of the lighting fixtures throughout the home were carefully and lovingly chosen and most are valuable antiques. If you love them too, most can remain with the apartment.
