Straight ahead of the entry foyer is a sun-filled open-plan kitchen and lounge. The sleek and oversized kitchen is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, soapstone counters, custom cabinetry and an amply sized walk-in pantry. An enormous stainless-steel peninsula offers additional seating and overlooks a family room/playroom with half bathroom.
The capacious private quarters are to the north of the entrance foyer. Four bedrooms all offering ample space and light flow into a wide common hall. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, while two bedrooms, one of which can serve as an office and/or guest room, share a bathroom.
The spectacular primary suite is a private enclave with east, north, and west exposures. A king-sized bedroom and sitting room are divided by an exquisitely designed walk-in closet wrapped by bespoke woven walnut enclosure. The generous en-suite windowed bathroom boasts a marble-tiled floor, a wall of walnut cabinetry, a cantilevered glass countertop with custom concrete sinks and a huge concrete-walled shower. Expertly crafted doors swing close to insulate the primary suite for complete privacy and serenity, or are opened and recessed to flow with the private bedroom wing of the apartment.

Quick Profile
Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.
Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.
There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
