The entry foyer, with tin wall accents, is the center point with the fourteenth floor living space spanning around it. The living area has two focal points -- the fireplace and built in cabinetry, and New York City as seen through the wall of west-facing windows. Occupying the back of the living area are additional built in cabinets and open shelving and a kitchen peninsula which leads to the galley kitchen with stainless appliances and cabinetry, copious pantries, a full sized refrigerator as well as two, additional under-counter refrigerators. Beside the living room is the second en suite master bedroom with a lovely spa-like bathroom, a built-in desk and a fantastic walk-in closet. This bedroom has the same western views as the living room. Across to the east side of the floor, a second foyer/gallery houses more decorative shelving and an entire wall of closets. This gallery leads to the two bedrooms (one with sliding doors can be used as a lounge or guest room) with eastern city views. A beautifully tiled full bath with inset shelving and southern views services this east wing, as does the dedicated, windowed and very private home office. Back to the foyer and up the marvelous stairway is the First Master Suite, with 15th floor western views. Slightly larger than the one below, this suite has a walk-in closet in darker wood tones, a sauna-style wood and glass bathroom, and, just beyond the stairs, another, bonus walk in closet.
