Description
8D is perched high above landmarked townhouses and clears to the north and west, enjoying light from four exposures. The apartment was originally 11 rooms, now 9 with a formal living room with a fireplace, formal dining room, library with second fireplace and windowed loggia, a double staff room now serving as a sitting room office with private bath, a huge eat-in kitchen, a large laundry room/pantry, and three enormous bedrooms each with an ensuite bath. The apartment is in excellent condition with through the wall air conditioning and updated windows, plumbing and electrical.
Off a semi-private elevator landing, the square gallery has ample closet space and a large powder room. The gallery opens up to all three entertaining rooms in classic Candela style. A dramatic 30 by 20 foot corner living room has nearly 11 foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows with open views north and side views west of Central Park and Central Park West.
Adjacent to the living room is a formal library with another wood-burning fireplace, bright western exposure and custom built-ins. The windowed loggia, a Candela signature, serves as a bar. The formal dining room is over 20 feet long and has open northern views and gracious proportions.

The kitchen faces east, has a built in banquette, an island and is a chef’s dream. There is a large windowed pantry/laundry room with access to the service elevator.
The two staff rooms have been combined into a large sitting room with built in desk and bookshelves with open views north, lovely light and a full bath.
