The renovated, bright and cheerful eat-in kitchen is just beyond the dining room and features white lacquered custom solid wood cabinetry offering abundant storage and display space, a butler's pantry with full wet bar and wine fridge, stunning herringbone floors, and a breakfast room-the perfect windowed gathering spot for informal meals or a quiet spot to read the paper with a morning cappuccino. The convenient and discreet powder room is located just off the breakfast room. This flexible space may also be easily configured as a nanny's room or a third bedroom.

The private bedroom wing is separated from the formal spaces by a hallway leading to a beautiful primary suite comprised of a renovated windowed marble bathroom with dual vanity, and a king-sized bedroom with sun-drenched southern views and custom closets.

The sizable second bedroom also faces south over 79th Street and is well suited for a sumptuous study or guest room, with excellent storage. A second renovated, windowed full bathroom features an oversized glass-paneled step in shower and beautiful glazed porcelain tiling and pedestal sink.
