Glorious amounts of light all day in this spacious prewar beauty, full of charm and every modern convenience. Enjoy east and southward views of the City, including the Empire State Building. The sweeping living, dining and foyer areas encompass plenty of space for a 10-foot long dining table, a piano, two couches and more, with room to spare. The large primary bedroom has east and south facing windows and an en suite bath. This UWS classic apartment, re-imagined in 1993 by architect Davidson Norris, is all openness and light, with high ceilings and atmospheric ceiling fans.
