Located in one of Gramercy Park's most distinctive prewar cooperatives, 1 Lexington Avenue, this expansive 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom duplex home has been beautifully renovated and combined. The well-proportioned and elegant layout wraps two corners with rooms that flow seamlessly into one another. A gracious entry gallery with a handsome staircase leads to the public rooms of the apartment. The corner living room is crowned with a wood burning fireplace and pocket doors opening to library on one side and an elegant formal dining room which is the center piece of the home. Double French doors open from the dining room to a 3 X 14 terrace with charming views of Gramercy Park. The oversized eat-in windowed kitchen is complete with marble and walnut countertops and Miele and Bosch appliances.

The upper level of the duplex includes three bedrooms: an additional master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and luxuriously appointed marble and tile bath with oversized spa, modeled after a Turkish bath with arched tiled ceiling and steam, marble slab seating area, plus soaking tub and shower combination.
