The massive foyer is accompanied by the original mirror and bench, 11-foot ceilings with skylight, quarter-sawn oak floors, and custom molding throughout. Immediately off the foyer, the sun-drenched living room gives way to a library with detailed built-in shelving that leads to a formal dining room with direct access to the back garden allowing for easy and functional access to barbecues in the summer while entertaining guests. The chef’s kitchen located off of the dining room is fully renovated with top-of-the-line stainless steel Thermador appliances. With granite countertops, tiled backsplash, and gorgeous, custom cabinetry this kitchen is a dream. The layout of the first floor is perfect for hosting holidays, gathering friends, and enjoying the glamor and energy of New York City. The original, cherrywood staircase takes you to the upper levels of the home. The first floor at the top of the landing has a large, hallway closet and two bedrooms each with a closet. The front room is the entire width of the house while the large back bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. The two rooms are connected by a dressing area that is large enough to host a custom closet.
