A massive corner living room faces south and east onto leafy Park Avenue, with lovely sunlight, grand proportions, and a wood-burning fireplace. A gracious paneled dining room also faces east onto Park Avenue. Adjoining the living room through mahogany French doors, the sunny library and has custom millwork and a second marble wood-burning fireplace. A private hallway provides privacy from the public rooms and leads to four large bedrooms with marble baths and fittings by Waterworks.

The dream kitchen features a center island with butcher block counters, custom glass-fronted cabinetry, white marble counters, a 48-inch vented Viking range and two Sub-zero refrigerators.
