Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The private terraces are where this duplex gets much of its character. One is listed at over 60 square feet, and the formal dining room, the library and the grand living room on the main level all open onto them. A terrace off the dining room changes how an apartment gets used, especially when you're hosting, and the listing describes the terraces as a defining part of the layout.
The kitchen has a pantry and an adjoining den, so cooking and everyday life don't have to share one room. It has a kitchen island, a range with a range hood, a dishwasher and a wine cooler, plus Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. The countertops and backsplashes are honed Calacatta marble, and the room is built for both daily meals and entertaining.
Primary bathrooms have Bianco Dolomite marble walls, custom stone floors and Waterworks hardware. The apartment also has walk-in closets, a double vanity and a washer and dryer in the unit.
The building has a seventy-five-foot indoor pool, a gym, a health club with a sauna, a game room, a children's playroom, a resident lounge and a garden. There's a concierge and an elevator too.
