This distinguished residence seamlessly blends classic architectural elegance with modern sophistication, offering an unparalleled living experience from the private garage to the expansive rooftop deck.
Upon entering the parlor level, you are greeted by a bright and spacious living room, featuring a fully restored original decorative fireplace that exudes timeless grandeur. A charming balcony with planters provides a serene outdoor retreat. Moving toward the rear of the home, a cozy sitting area with pocket doors leads to the state-of-the-art kitchen. This gourmet space is equipped with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni gas range and hood, Summit wine cooler, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Custom cabinetry, a pantry, and a massive center island with Caesarstone Quartz countertops make this kitchen a true centerpiece, ideal for hosting elegant dinner parties or casual gatherings.

A bedroom with an en-suite bath provides privacy and comfort, while the exterior areaway offers easy access to the private garage, which includes a Tesla charging station.
Ascend to the second floor to discover an impressive floor-through suite, complete with a large bedroom and a versatile sitting area that can serve as a library, study, or additional bedroom. A private terrace off this level offers a coveted outdoor sanctuary. The luxurious bathroom is a true masterpiece, featuring marble-tiled heated floors, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower, all designed to evoke a sense of opulence and tranquility.
The third floor is dedicated to two more generously sized bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and spacious closets. Large windows bathe these rooms in natural light throughout the day. The crowning jewel of this exquisite home is the glass skybox, leading to a rooftop deck with panoramic views of the historic Strivers' Row district-a perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
Located within easy reach of the A, B, C, 2, and 3 subway lines and with your own private parking garage, commuting and travel around the city is effortless.
