To the East beyond the gallery, the eat-in kitchen with an East-facing picture window which welcomes the morning sun is finished with white basket-weave marble floors, black granite countertops, white Calacatta Italian marble backsplash and a built-in breakfast bar, aesthetically perfected with warm cove lighting overhead and wood paneling below. The high-end appliance suite is all stainless steel and features a Subzero refrigerator with a double freezer drawer and icemaker as well as a dishwasher by Miele. The kitchen has also been wired for sound with speakers by Monitor Audio.

Serenely located on the southeast corner of the home, a huge and sun-drenched primary bedroom suite offers plenty of space for a king-sized bed as well as a separate seating area and is enhanced by open corner exposures with views East down 74th Street and South over the Midtown skyline and Billionaire's Row. There are two large customized closets which can be combined to create a large walk-in, as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom clad entirely in marble. The primary bathroom also features integrated speakers, soaking tub/shower with a built-in product nook and partial glass enclosure as well as oversized vanity. Currently in use as a large library, the second bedroom is accessible via the bedroom corridor as well as through a solid-core pocket door off of the living room, providing flexible use and beautifully finished in functional and decorative millwork, a large custom walk-in closet and a pair of large picture windows facing South with side views of Central Park as well. The second bedroom is serviced by the full bathroom off of the gallery which has been cleverly outfitted to also serve as a powder room for guests with sliding doors that conceal a stone stall shower.
