THE APARTMENT
From the private elevator landing, this full-floor corner cooperative features a large gallery with double-doors leading to the corner library, formal living room, and the corridor leading to the bedrooms. The corner library, which was originally divided into a library and corner master bedroom with full bath, features expansive views of Central Park, The Onassis Reservoir and The Guggenheim Museum.

The formal living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, Central Park and Reservoir views, and double doors leading to the formal dining room which also includes access to the kitchen.

There are three bedrooms on the main corridor, all facing north with en-suite baths and views of The Guggenheim Museum. A fourth bedroom facing east was created by combining all three staff bedrooms and includes a full bath. The first bedroom includes several built-ins, a large full bath, and several windows. The second bedroom includes closets, a full bath, and several built-ins, and the third bedroom is a corner bedroom with windows facing north and east. There are several linen closets on the bedroom hall and the rear-facing bedroom created from staff rooms includes numerous built-in closets and very high ceilings.

The large chef's kitchen is outfitted with extensive countertop space for large-scale entertaining. There are floor-to-ceiling built-ins for storage and a large pantry space which includes a washer dryer. With three entrances, one leading to the rear where maid's rooms have been converted to a bedroom, one out to the bedroom hall, and a third leading to the formal dining room, the kitchen is ideally positioned within the apartment for ease of access.
