This Pristine and Glorious "Circa 1915" Townhouse was built on the same beautiful tree lined block where "Breakfast at Tiffany", with Audrey Hepburn, was filmed. The street is filled with elegant Townhomes, wide sidewalks and alluring details encountered in the different buildings' architectural master pieces. The house went through a total gut renovation. It successfully executed to keep and restore the original details from a different era and to bring the home onto the 21st-century. The impeccable work done to the residence, turned it into a sophisticated single-family house with 6 bedrooms,1 office and 7 and bathrooms. The ceiling heights up to 12-feet coupled with spacious amenities make this house the ideal place for comfortable New York City living.

You first enter an elegant entry foyer; from there, the door opens into a majestic Gallery room with large walls, ideal for beautiful Art. The Wide Open Loftlike space leads you to a Contemporary Kitchen equipped with top of the line appliances, marble countertops and a center island, making this a luxurious central piece for all your social gatherings. From there, you are taken to the grand Living Room featuring a beautiful wood burning fireplace. There is also an elegant powder room located on this floor. Adjacent to the living room, there is a bright, fabulous new "Steel and Glass" enclosed dining room facing the garden and sky, ideal for great entertaining.
