This stunning 3 bedroom duplex, fully renovated with meticulous attention to design detail as well as function, is located in an elegant 1913 building just steps from Park Avenue in one of the most sought-after locations on the Upper East Side. This special apartment was designed by a well-known architectural firm who created a modern sensibility perfect for today's living while retaining its prewar detail.
