This thoughtful layout offers generous private spaces and wonderfully seamless entertaining and living spaces.

A spacious entry foyer welcomes you into a dramatic gallery leading to all entertaining rooms with tree lined views onto Madison Avenue. The grand living room is nearly 19 feet by 23 feet with sunny Eastern exposures. The formal dining room faces East as well and easily accommodates a large dinner party. The sunny, corner windowed eat-in kitchen/great room has ebonized wood floors, custom wood and pale grey lacquered cabinetry, polished stone countertops, Miele appliances and Dornbracht fixtures. It is a chef's dream kitchen and a wonderful place to relax while cooking and eating.

The luxurious master suite features custom closets and a large spa like windowed bathroom with double vanity with marble countertops, a large soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and Waterworks fixtures. There is a smaller bedroom or library next to the master that could be a sitting room/dressing room with extra full bathroom for the master.

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.
