Open and airy, this full floor apartment offers dazzling views of Central Park and the iconic New York City skyline, including the Empire State Building to the south and pretty, northern views over classic townhouses. Impeccably renovated by award winning Gabellini Sheppard Associates, the 9th floor at 21 E. 79th Street is an elegant, carefully crafted backdrop for both modern and traditional furniture and art.

A spacious and private south facing primary suite with custom built dressing room/office includes a spa-like bathroom with two sinks, a separate Zuma bathtub and large marble shower.

The apartment also includes an inviting sunny library, a large dining room, a wing with three additional bedrooms for guests or family and a charming laundry room with a view. Floors throughout the home are comprised of 7-inch select grade wide-plank oak, closets are custom finished and the walls boast an art hanging system by Arakawa. The heating and air conditioning system as well as electric shades and a/v are controlled by a Savant system.
