There are six bedrooms in total. The fourth and fifth floors each house two bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms and great closet space.

The rooftop features a large seating area with superb, open, protected views to the south overlooking Manhattan. A glamorous hot tub is the bonus!

The entire house is finished with wide hardwood Oak flooring and is equipped with ducted, zoned central air conditioning and heating, with radiant heated floors in all the bathrooms and pre-wiring for electric shades and smart home technology.

This part of the Upper West Side is considered super-prime, just moments from Central Park, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, all transportation, shopping, retail, restaurants and so much more that makes this neighborhood the most desirable and refined in all of New York.
