A Terrace Lover's Dream   On the market for the first time in over 25 years, this rare gem is full of character and singular charm, offering a rare lifestyle not often replicated. With a private terrace larger than the apartment itself and a glass atrium for dining, this home makes both a perfect pied-a-terre and a cozy full-time residence.   Arrive by elevator to a semi-private foyer adorned with exquisitely hand-painted walls so intricate they could be mistaken for fine wallpaper. From there, enter a stunning living room with a wood-burning fireplace and curved ceiling painted to resemble the sky, creating a wonderful ambiance and sun-flooded retreat.   An airy atmosphere is enhanced by the skylight over the galley kitchen, which features ample storage.       The bedroom is a peaceful retreat, with a wall of custom built-ins and a charming bay window with a built-in bench that looks out onto expansive private terrace measuring almost 1,000 square feet - a true rarity in Manhattan.     Though nestled just steps from Grand Central Station in a Murray Hill prewar doorman condominium, this residence feels like an escape to another world - a secret sanctuary perched high above the city with landmark views.   This is not just a home - it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bring your designers and create your masterpiece.
