This three-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home has classically proportioned rooms, graced with high-ceilings and over-sized windows with a splendid layout that provides unparalleled flexibility. The welcoming foyer extends into an apartment-length gallery which separates the apartment's public from its private spaces.

The second bedroom also has corner exposures, with expansive views facing west, high over the brownstones and the leafy trees of West 87th street.
