About 1,520 square feet, it overlooks the Carlyle Hotel, the Hearst Building (in the distance), and the Midtown and East Side skyscapes. The terrace, which has a fountain, contains entrances from the living room, kitchen, and master suite. Formerly a Classic Seven, this co-op, about 2,000 square feet, now has six rooms. The living room boasts three exposures and a gas fireplace. The south-facing kitchen contains custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops (plus an island), and high-end appliances, while the three baths are finished in marble. There is also a 16-foot-long gallery, library, and second bedroom. Details include beamed ceilings, built-ins, pocket and French doors, herringbone floors, a second gas fireplace, and a skylight, among others. Situated in a full-service, pre-war building, this home has automated lighting and entertainment systems.
