133 E 80TH Street #4A

This meticulously renovated four bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom apartment combines pre-war elegance with sophisticated adaptations for modern living. Situated in a classic Rosario Candela building on a beautiful tree-lined block between Park and Lexington Avenues, its well-proportioned rooms enjoy abundant light and open, tree-top views of the neighborhood including All Soul's Church. The apartment's gracious floor plan blends harmonious design with a smooth separation of public and private spaces. A welcoming entry foyer leads to a gallery from which all rooms radiate. The formal corner living room features four enormous windows facing south and east, a coffered ceiling, wood burning fireplace with stone mantle, and original oak herringbone floors in pristine condition. The neighboring formal dining room, which was originally the library, faces east with open views. The current library also faces east and is richly paneled in knotty pine, with custom shelves and molding, as well as two Murphy beds concealed behind full panels.
