ALL OPEN HOUSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Please view the video for more information. This stunning duplex penthouse is the crown jewel of the iconic Beaux Arts beauty, the Dorilton. As you enter from the semi-private landing and into the elegant entry foyer, you will see the sun streaming into the beautiful corner living room with its ornate moldings and inlaid hardwood floors as well as the lovely south-facing library. Both rooms have open city views through the double-paned, French windows. The grand formal dining room has original French doors, custom built-ins and lighting, leaded-glass bay windows, and one of the home's two decorative fireplaces. The windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream with its subway tiles, honed stone countertops, wine fridge, huge walk-in pantry, and top appliances, including the two dishwashers and wall ovens. Also on this lower level is a full bathroom and a luxurious primary suite with a separate home office or dressing room, walls of closets, and an en-suite bathroom with a wonderful soaking tub and stained glass window. Up the sweeping, paneled staircase are two more sunny bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fabulous den with angled windows, a gas fireplace with a stone mantle, and a wall of wrought iron windows that offer access to and a view of the private landscaped terrace; the perfect urban oasis. The current owners thought of every detail to make this the ultimate sanctuary, including creating a mini-kitchen that is ideal for entertaining with a microwave, dishwasher, sink, freezer, and beverage drawers. Additional features of this one-of-a-kind, quiet and peaceful residence are a full-size, vented washer/dryer, multi-zone central A/C, a Sonos sound system, irrigation on the terrace, a huge storage closet and a tremendous attic with pull-down stairs! The Dorilton is an iconic, turn-of-the-century co-op with a wonderful staff including a full-time doorman, live-in super, an outside play area on the second floor, and a spectacular landscaped roof deck with dining tables and loungers. Pets, use as a pied- -Terre, and 75% financing is permitted.
