The sophisticated primary suite includes two walk-in closets, custom built-ins, and a beautifully appointed windowed marble bath. The second bedroom, currently configured as a library, also enjoys direct park views and classic herringbone flooring, while the third bedroom features an ensuite marble bath and an open northern exposure with a glimpse of the park. Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the impressive corner Dining Room offers custom cabinetry, a wine refrigerator, and an additional window seat with an open Eastern exposure.
