The back of this level is dedicated to the primary suite, which features a second fireplace with Nero Porto marble mantle, a large walk-in closet, an adjoining dressing room outfitted with mirrored closets and a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors. A planted Juliet balcony oversees the garden.

A splendid south facing terrace finishes off the storey. On the ground floor, past the cherry tree garden and blue stone patio, you will find a garden apartment with an extensive kitchen (it once serviced the entire residence) with double Viking oven and vented 6-burner range, a dumb waiter which connects to the parlor level of the main house and double glass doors to the bricked english garden. The bedroom boasts a very large walk-in closet, an alcove suitable for an office (though currently used for an art studio) and another door to the garden. This serene outdoor oasis boasts a 200 year old "tree of heaven" (ailanthus altissima) and an impressive hydrangia tree. The unit is connected to the main home via a second set of stairs. The full height cellar contains a large tiled laundry room with two LG washers with steam and a dryer. Mechanical and storage are located here as well. This entire home features an updated HVAC system with central heating and cooling, monitored security system, custom shades, curtains and Lutron lighting system throughout. There are a total of 6 fireplaces, 5 of which are eco-fuel and 1 gas. The silence of the home, the breeze through the trees, the cardinals, blue birds and morning doves calling to one another, will make it hard to believe you are in New York City. *Shorter Term and Partially Furnished Considered
