Description

LUXURY
Chic and sophisticated, this exceptional triple-mint single-family townhouse presents the ultimate in quality, elegance and innovation, conceived by one of Manhattan's leading designers. Perfectly positioned in the one of the most desirable city settings close to Lincoln Center, Riverside Park and some of the best shopping, dining, theaters and markets the city has to offer, this extraordinary residence offers state-of-the-art conveniences melded with remarkable scale and detail.

SCALE
The grand scale of this six-story home creates endless possibilities for living and entertaining space. It is showcased by its 20-foot width, 9,400 interior square feet (including finished basement), high ceilings as well as abundant outdoor space including a large landscaped garden, two terraces and an exceptional roof garden oasis. Superb natural light floods each floor through top quality floor-to-ceiling Optima steel windows with insulated glazing and a dramatic skylight at the peak of the house.

LAYOUT
This special residence presents an elegant elevator that services six floors with a layout of up to seven bedrooms, six full baths and three half baths of living quarters, and two floors of formal space plus a fully renovated basement. The exquisite full-floor primary suite includes white marble bath, grand steam shower, separate toilet room, free-standing Agape tub and the ultimate in luxury -- a 21-foot custom closet and dressing room.

GRACE
Originally built at the turn-of-the-century, the interior of the entire house was gut-renovated and elegantly reinterpreted with a modern interpretation of historic elements. Every square inch of this home has been masterfully conceived and beautifully executed with the finest finishes, innovative systems and luxurious, sustainable amenities.
