Adjacent to the living area is a glass enclosed dining room overlooking the East River and the Northern cityscape. Convenient to the dining area is a chic wet bar with a light-up onyx stone countertop, bar sink, storage, and wine fridge. A chef's dream, the 33 foot long Italian Boffi kitchen with Corian countertops features not one, but two of every top-of-the-line appliance. Miele and Gaggenau steal the show, including a 70-bottle wine refrigerator, freezer drawers, beverage fridge and integrated espresso/cappuccino maker. A smartly designed island features seating for 6 with brilliant North and West views through large plate glass picture windows. Tucked away for privacy, the king-sized primary bedroom is outfitted with 6 custom designed floor to ceiling closets, magnificent views of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, another walk in closet and a spa-like primary bath. It's adorned with Boffi Winged Collection fixtures as well as a walk-in steam shower for two, a free-standing soaking tub, double marble vanities with floating oval medicine cabinets, a separate water closet, and heated floors. A secondary bedroom on the main floor allows for flexible use as a staff room, office, exercise space or guest accommodation with an elegant full bath. The sculptural Guggenheim-inspired staircase takes you down to two additional bedrooms with Eastern morning sunshine and views, one with its own private balcony. This floor enjoys a separate entry and a generous laundry closet with full sized Miele washer and dryer. A decadent two person Swedish sauna sits next to a serene white marble and mosaic bathroom with double sinks, jacuzzi bathtub, separate stall shower and heated floor.
