A guest powder room, staff suite with ensuite bath, a butler's pantry, laundry area, and a convenient dumbwaiter complete this level.

Two additional bedrooms each feature ensuite baths, ample closet space, and mesmerizing views of either Central Park or the Midtown skyline. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character to the upper floor.
