This 20-foot-wide, four-floor, gut-renovated townhouse in Murray Hill has a glass-enclosed sun room that overlooks the rear garden. About 345 square feet, the third-floor solarium contains a partially bordered glass floor (open to the kitchen below) and an original brick wall. The property's first level includes the master suite (the master bath has a glass vanity and sink, Waterworks fixtures, radiant-heated floors, a steam bath, and a "waterfall" shower head), second bedroom and bath, and rear garden. The second level features a living and dining room, kitchen (with gray lacquer cabinetry, stone countertops, high-end appliances, and two breakfast bars), and a balcony with a glass floor that looks down into the garden. The third level is an artist's studio (including an office and gallery space). The fourth level is a guest suite with a kitchenette. Other details include exposed brick, reconstructed beams, bamboo flooring, and a custom-designed cast iron fence separating the outside entrance from the sidewalk. About 5,000 square feet, the home is outfitted with five-zone central air-conditioning and has two laundry nooks, one in the basement (where there's also a gym) and one on the top floor.
