Extraordinary Proportions-Superlative Design Off a private vestibule a gracious center gallery welcomes you into this splendid architecturally renowned 8 room, 3-4 bedroom, 4 bath, J.E.R. Carpenter home. The gallery serves as an elegant passage into the grand living room and dining room both with magnificent proportions and scale. Large oversized windows allow natural light to bathe the interior space. The corner living room has eastern and northern exposures, a magnificent fireplace, lovely cityscape views to the east over the surrounding townhouses, and 9'9" ceilings. Adjoining the living room is an equally impressive formal dining room. Both rooms have fireplaces, exquisite floors, high ceilings and marvelous prewar details. The dining room offers a nice angle view of Central Park. The center gallery also leads to the library/third bedroom. If used as a library, a wet bar has been installed in other apartments in this line between the living room and library which is brilliant for entertaining. Functioning either as a library or as a bedroom, this room has, large scale, an oversized closet, full bath and a large east facing window. This room also has a nook that is frequently used as an office with east and southern light. A wide bedroom hall provides access to two or three additional bedrooms. The primary bedroom has two east facing windows, is generous in its scale and has abundant storage, and a en suite bath. The second bedroom also faces east with its own en suite bath, walk-in closet, and plentiful storage. Two staff rooms can be combined and entered from the bedroom hall for a fourth bedroom with an en suite bath. The large windowed L-shaped kitchen and pantry can be entered from the dining room and also from the bedroom hall. This space can be transformed into a chef's dream kitchen. There is a full-size washer and vented dryer currently in the pantry area. The apartment is centrally air-conditioned. The use of an over-sized storage bin transfers with the apartment. In need of renovation, the original bones and architectural splendor remain and cannot be reproduced.
