    Located on a beautiful townhouse block in Lenox Hill, this turnkey, single-family residence is ready for its next owner. The home stands 4 stories tall with over 4,000 square feet and a modern design. Currently configured with 3 bedrooms, library and an office (4th or 5th bedrooms), 3 full bathrooms and a powder room, this lovely home has a fully finished basement, and a beautifully landscaped garden/patio. Additional features are high ceilings, hardwood floors, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, 2 balconies, central air conditioning, and a planted forecourt. Enter the garden level of the home through an entry vestibule that leads to an extra-large family room centered by a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond is an outdoor garden oasis that flows seamlessly from the family room through glass doors. There is also an office (or 4th bedroom) with an ensuite bathroom, two closets, and a powder room on this level. Ascend the staircase to a gracious and formal living room with airy, 11-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. A formal dining room and chef’s kitchen with spectacular solarium windows, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to a terrace with stairs to the garden/patio complete the floor. The third level is comprised of the primary bedroom suite with over 10-foot ceilings, a wall of closets, and a private terrace overlooking the garden below. The marble-clad en-suite bathroom features a spacious spa-like shower and adjacent is a sundrenched sitting room (or 5th bedroom) with a wood-burning fireplace.
