This 10-room home is in the Dakota and has a view of the building’s courtyard. About 4,500 square feet, it contains a foyer, parlor, living room (also called the ballroom), library (or fourth bedroom), kitchen (with a family room and pantry), master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, three full baths, and a powder room. Most original details are intact, including the wood shutters, pocket doors, moldings (except in the kitchen), doors, inlaid floors, and built-in kitchen cabinetry. The living room features a hand-painted ceiling (based on Monet’s Giverny series), a floor-to-ceiling window (one of three in the apartment), and a sandalwood fireplace mantel designed in the British Colonial style (the hearth is made of pink onyx). The parlor and dining room feature lacquered walls, while the gallery, which contains an Art Deco bar, is finished in gold patina. This apartment also has six wood-burning fireplaces, 13-foot ceilings, and two-foot-thick walls. Amenities in this building, completed in 1884, include doorman, concierge and sentry services.
