There is a windowed kitchen which can be enlarged into what is now a large closet. Two spacious bathrooms have both been newly renovated in a tasteful and traditional style, evoking the elegance of this special building. The apartment's original 1890's architectural details have been preserved throughout, including gorgeous hardwood floors, soaring nearly 14 foot ceilings, mahogany framed oversized windows and doors, 2 wood burning fireplaces and original plaster moldings.

Also included in the sale is a double staff room on the ninth floor, which is perfect for a home office or extra storage.

Designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, and completed in 1884, the Dakota is one of the world's most beautiful and well known residential buildings. From the ornate finials and gothic gables, to the unique gated entry and unusual center courtyard, no other building in Manhattan can compare. The Dakota also offers residents the highest level of privacy, service and luxury. Perfectly located on 72nd Street and Central Park, it is convenient to every wonderful attraction New York has to offer.
