A quietly elegant, bi-level retreat with three terraces high above the city, this residence is beautifully designed to offer expansive spaces for living and entertaining. Theres easy flow from living to dining to kitchen with wood floors throughout, high ceilings and a neutral palette. A gas fireplace and built-ins serve as the focal point in the living area, though the views are sure to compete for guests attention. A true cooks kitchen is lined in Poggenpohl cabinetry, known for its timeless quality and smart storage solutions. Handle big events with ease via the six-burner Wolf range and supplemental Miele wall oven.

The second level offers access to three terraces, a generous amount of outdoor space for entertaining, container gardening or just enjoying those fabulous, sweeping views! Also on this level is the primary bedroom with a sitting area, yet another smartly designed space with an entire wall devoted to built-in storage outfitted with every manner of organizer. If youre a soaker, look no further than the Victoria & Albert steeping tub in the main suite bath. This bathroom sports Poggenpohl double wall-hung vanity, tile wainscoting and an oversized shower with multiple sprays. With so much built into this home, it feels as livable as a large suburban home but with restaurants, theaters, the ballet, orchestra and galleries just a few minutes walk from your door.
