Enter a world of timeless Upper West Side elegance - where gracious living meets grand scale. A spacious gallery foyer unfolds beneath 9-foot coved ceilings, anchored by gleaming original herringbone parquet in rich walnut and framed by crisp picture-frame moldings. Straight ahead, elegant French doors open to the grand living room, where natural light and exceptional scale await. The exceptionally large, sun-filled living room showcases impeccably preserved herringbone floors with classic border inlays, soaring coved ceilings, and two oversized black-framed windows that flood the space with natural light.
