39 East 79th St 9-Aug

INCOMPARABLE - The journey begins when you step from the private landing through double mahogany doors into the gracious entrance gallery of this spacious duplex home. The exceptional architectural details throughout this approx. 9000sf apartment, encompassing the entire 8th and 9th floors, are of the highest quality and finest craftsmanship. The grand living room/dining room has walnut Parquet de Versailles floors and features a WBFP. The home is flooded with light, coming from 71 full pane, double laminated windows facing in every direction. There is a large windowed chefs kitchen and breakfast area with the finest appliances. Moving past the gallery is a library with WBFP and adjacent billiard room with wet bar. Also on this level is an exercise room, a guest bedroom with ensuite bath, powder room, and a staff room with a full bath. The journey continues to the upper level of the apartment which houses a master bedroom suite with sitting room, two dressing rooms, and a master bath. Two other bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, a study and laundry room are also on this level. The unexpected bonus of the property is the unfinished space of approx. 2000sf which is already incorporated into the apartment. Included with the property is a ground floor room with bath that can be used for staff, office, or as a guest room. The sheer size of this exceptional property makes you feel as if you are in a fine private European home. Must be seen to be appreciated.
