This elegantly designed two-bedroom residence pays tribute to arguably the most distinguished building in this Blue-Chip Gold Coast Greenwich Village location with only 2 apartments per floor, preserving privacy and exclusivity. 11B has beamed ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, oversized windows with stunning natural light and open views highlighted by the historic & beautiful First Presbyterian Church ...these are just a few features of this extraordinary home. While maintaining the rich aesthetic of its earlier time, modern enhancements such as central A/C round out this truly exquisite space.

The formal entry foyer gracefully separates the entry's to the living room in one direction and the formal dining room and kitchen in the other. The gracious living room is bathed in beautiful natural light, and the oversized north facing windows offer stunning open city views highlighted by the breathtaking church and lower Fifth Ave. Featuring High ceilings, hand raked and stenciled wall coverings, georgous rift and quarter sawn white oak herringbone floors, custom crafted floor to ceiling bookshelves and the stunning fireplace create a chic sanctuary. The formal dining room is both stylish and graceful...the combination of the southern exposure, simple but cool moldings and custom millwork make this the perfect place for grand scale entertaining or cozy & quiet family time and meals. Directly off of the dining room is the windowed Chef's kitchen which is classically designed with Carrara marble countertops, classic subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes, including a SubZero refrigerator Bosch dishwasher, and Viking range.

On the other side of the home is the bedroom wing with the master and second bedroom. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite windowed bathroom, outfitted in Carrara marble tiles & Waterworks fixtures. The same beautiful natural light and views that you have in the living room are shared here with the addition of an eastern exposure creating a lovely corner of open views. The second bedroom has oversized East facing windows, beautiful light, a windowed en-suite bath and great closet space. Situated on the 11th floor, the apartment also comes with a very large storage room located in the building's spotless basement.
