Both the octagonal entry Foyer of the private entrance, or the stately Gallery from the building Lobby lead you to a step-down south-facing Living Room of grand proportions, anchored by an elegant fireplace and embellished with beautiful moldings, arched doorways, custom millwork, and original herringbone wood floors. The 30-foot room evokes a feeling of grand living, only enhanced by the mirrored steel doors and windows connecting it to a gorgeous square formal Dining Room with a glass ceiling, intricate wainscoting, and walls adorned by cheerful hand painted de gournay wallpaper.
