This beautifully restored seven room residence offers an opportunity to own a rare architectural jewel in the iconic Osborne. Exquisite period details, including masterpiece wood and plasterwork, oversized windows with stained glass transoms, and four beautifully tiled, wood-burning fireplaces, exemplify the glamour and craftsmanship of the Gilded Age. This, combined with a full complement of state-of-the-art amenities, from central air conditioning, fresh air exchange, sophisticated lighting and sumptuously updated kitchen and baths, create a brilliant fusion of old world charm and modern conveniences.

A gracious gallery leads through oversized pocket doors to a double living room with nearly 14-foot ceilings, anchored on each end by wood burning fireplaces surrounded by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Light pours in through tall, south-facing windows topped by original Tiffany stained glass transoms. Another large pocket door leads from the living room to an impressive library with wood-burning fireplace and powder room.

A formal dining room with a stunning, period wood-burning fireplace is accessible from the gallery opposite the living room. Double wooden doors lead into a sleek, Poggenpohl chef's kitchen with Wolf stove, and SubZero refrigerator and vented washer and dryer.

The private quarters are accessed from a generous hallway that accommodates a full guest bath and ample closets. Both spacious bedrooms feature walk-in closets and limestone baths.

The Osborne is an architectural masterpiece and New York icon, built in 1883 and designed by architect James Edward Ware. Renowned artisans, including sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, muralist John LaFarge, and Tiffany Studios contributed their works to the sumptuous Byzantine lobby. Diagonally across from Carnegie Hall, the Osborne enjoys a unique position among one of New York's finest landmarks.
