One of the unique features of this special 7 into 6 room residence is that all the rooms are exterior. The enormous Living Room has a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful dentil crown molding, and herringbone floors. The oversized windows offer magnificent views of the stately turn-of-the-century mansions which line 79th Street. One can entertain in style in the stunning aubergine lacquered dining room with a wall of custom bookshelves facing Madison Avenue.
