No expense was spared and no detail overlooked in restoring the old world glamour to this jewel box of a home located in one of the Upper East Side?s grand mansions. The elegance and drama of the Great Room is enriched by exquisite ornamental crown molding, reclaimed oak herringbone floors, 11? foot ceiling height and a gorgeously ornate marble fireplace mantle creating the perfect home for an international lifestyle. There is an intelligently designed and well equipped galley kitchen featuring professional grade stainless steel appliances and abundant storage. A dramatic custom staircase embellished with bespoke iron balusters leads to the equally impressive lower level. The two exquisite full bathrooms are designed in a fashion that is in keeping with the lavish finishes found throughout this triple mint home.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
