Pre-war details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and crown moldings add character throughout the home. The spacious living room features two double glass doors with motorized shades leading to the terrace, oversized picture windows showcasing open city views, a dining area, and a wood-burning fireplace with a Sienna marble hearth and mantle.

The expansive wraparound terrace, fully planted and beautifully maintained, offers breathtaking, panoramic river views stretching to the George Washington Bridge.
