Feel like you are walking on air in this full floor 3140-square foot, 4 bedroom, four-bathroom condominium with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows offering panoramic views in three directions.

A private elevator landing leads into a 27-foot foot long gallery clad in Venetian plaster walls. On one end lies an oversized living and dining room that is filled with glorious sunshine streaming in from double exposures to the east and north. Measuring over 500 square feet, the space lends itself to numerous layouts to suit your entertaining preferences.

A pocket door provides convenient access to the spacious chef’s eat-in kitchen featuring a 48-inch Subzero refrigerator, a Miele gas cooktop, dishwasher and microwave, and a Subzero wine refrigerator. A center waterfall island has been elegantly reclad in tempered glass. The generous dining area easily accommodates a table for six. There is a wealth of white glossy cabinetry and a built-in pantry. At the back of the kitchen there is a laundry room with a full-size washing machine and vented dryer that opens into a private service entrance.

The master bedroom suite faces north and west affording abundant evening light and magnificent sunsets. It features a spacious bedroom, a sleek dressing area lined with custom closets, and a large marble bathroom with two sinks, a deep soaking tub and a separate shower.

Adjacent to the living room there is a north facing den that also functions as a media room. One wall is lined with lacquered wooden cabinetry and a built-in desk. Outside of the den accessible from the gallery is a renovated full bathroom with marble flooring that has been cleverly designed with a two-way mirrored sliding door to close off the shower stall and create an elegant powder room.

The second and third bedrooms both face west. Both have en-suite bathrooms for maximum privacy and are outfitted with custom closets.

The owner has added new hardwood oak flooring throughout, luxurious radiant heating in the living and dining room and the master suite with individual controls, and remote-controlled window treatments.
