An Indoor and Outdoor Oasis!!

Perfectly situated on Manhattan's 86th street corridor - this high floor, Postwar Cooperative offers both gracious living and grand entertaining indoors and out! This apartment is offered in it's current form: 4 bedroom, 4 bathrooms, and 2 half baths or it can easily be converted into 5 full bedrooms with 3 ensuite baths.

Architecturally distinctive, the dramatic entry gallery features two floating concrete walls, each displaying artwork in an almost "gallery-like" setting. From there you enter the double size Formal Dining Room. This space is large enough for 2 square tables seating 8 at each, or a long harvest-like table, which 14+ can dine. From this room, the exposure is Northeast and includes 6 windows of open city and East River views. The room feels almost loft-like until you close the 3 sets of fluted glass pocket doors - turning the room into a warm intimate space. A grand scale Living Room is parallel to the Dining Room. It too enjoys 6 windows of open city and East River views! This room opens to the main Northeast facing terrace (30 X 6 ft.), which is a perfect extension of the Living Room. A mirrored wet bar and a half bath complete the Living Room. Adjacent to the Living Room is the 4th Bedroom/Office with an en-suite full bath and cedar closet. This room currently functions as an office with custom designed wood cabinetry including extensive storage, shelving and a built-in desk. The exposure is South with open city views.

It is important to note that lighting and storage space play a significant role in the entire apartment. Throughout the apartment there are walk-in closets, dressing rooms and hidden storage in every room. In both the Dining Room and Living Room, there is extensive spot lighting to frame artwork and sculptures.

Two additional rooms complete the North side of the apartment.
