APARTMENT ON EAST 91ST STREET

Steps from Central Park, this sprawling 7-room corner home offers space, timeless elegance, luxury, privacy and location. Residence 2B has a more than generous layout with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms and a powder room. The views are open and the expansive windows serve as a picture frame, overlooking Madison Avenue and 91^st St. The formal dining room comfortably seats 8 people. An over-sized master suite makes for the perfect retreat for relaxation. The apartment features two more generous sized bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms. In addition the apartment also features a tastefully decorated powder room.

TOWNHOUSE ON EAST 80TH STREET

Sawyer | Berson reconceived the central atrium of a New York townhouse as a soaring dining area. Japanese ink paintings are displayed on the walls, which are sheathed in a raw silk by Larsen; the chandeliers are from Circa Lighting, the mantel was custom made by Chesney’s, and the Agra rug is from Mansour. Enhancing the library’s far wall is a circa-1300 Japanese scroll; the walnut bookcases and paneling were crafted by Symm and Co., and the Agra carpet is late 19th century. The master bath, clad in cipollino marble, is equipped with a circa-1940 hanging light from Carlos de la Puente Antiques.
