Located on a Museum of Natural History park block and one block from Central Park, this well-proportioned full floor in a handsome 20ft wide turn-of the century townhouse has been meticulously designed. The elegant square living room with high ceilings and a wood burning fireplace holds a lifetime of books. A south facing double window seat is a favorite perch to a beautiful tree-lined street view. The skylight kitchen was redesigned with a Wolf 4-burner range and Wolf combination convection/microwave oven, two under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerators, Plain and Fancy cabinetry, and Miele dishwasher. The oversized bedroom also has wood burning fireplace. To the master bath was added a Claw-foot soaking tub, shower with Waterworks fixtures, wainscoting, marble sink counter, and a modern checked pattern floor. A washer-dryer was added to the bath, also with a skylight. Farrow and Ball paint was used throughout apartment. Full stairs were added to reach their private roof terrace. Outdoors has been a long labor and a great pleasure. A secret garden of flowers, shrubs and trees evolved along with two decked seating areas, cushioned benches, trellises for shade, and potted herbs lining the walkway to the grill. Under an umbrella, a well-weathered table and chairs has seen many a pitcher of mint and green tea by day - and martinis at night. Sunsets are spectacular. Perfect for entertaining friends; weddings, bridal and baby showers have all been hosted here. No need for a summer place in the Hamptons; this paradise comes without beach traffic.
