Description

The AIA Guide to NYC describes it as 'an exotic mansion with a melange of brownstone and terracotta detailing.' You'll call it home. Originally, the library floor of the 1880's mansion, it is a spectacularly detailed two bedroom, two bath co-op apartment accessible by elevator. Striking details include enormous carved wooden fireplaces with pillars, original cabinetry and shutters. The great room includes a large, striking curved-glass south-facing window accented with stained glass! Other details include a stunning, marble bath, a renovated kitchen, a large private deck and central air conditioning. The master bedroom is oversized and has its own spectacular fireplace and an ensuite bath. An absolute gem. Sorry, no cats. The building is a non-smoking building. Make an appointment to see this stunner today as there will be no open houses.
