SPECTACULAR 2 BR/2Bath WITH DIRECT PARK VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM Rarely availabe, this high floor corner apartment in the tower with dazzling direct Central Park views from all rooms in the legendary former home of Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge, later owned by Valentino co-founder Giancarlo Giammetti, and most recently by designer Tomas Maier.
