Bathed in sunlight with wonderful open city views, this strikingly handsome full-floor 9-room loft- apartment showcases all the classic hallmarks of its well-known architect, Peter Pennoyer. Formerly the home of Roy Lichtenstein, it was designed for gracious living and grand entertaining. The formal spaces flow seamlessly into each other, from the dramatic 36.5 -foot living room to the south with three open exposures, to an adjoining colonnaded gallery/formal dining room at the center with recessed up-lighting and a smaller windowed dining room/study to one side, leading into an inviting traditional library. The kitchen wing includes a powder room, large eat-in-kitchen, separate laundry room, and fourth bedroom/large maid's room with bath. The bedroom wing offers a large serene corner master, adjoining windowed dressing area with double walk-in closets, and en suite marble bath. All the bedrooms, including the two spacious children's rooms with shared bath, have spectacular Empire State views. In total, the apartment is approximately 3,000+/- net square feet. A sense of elegance and unity pervades the interior with its 11'6" ceilings, beautiful maple floors, fine architectural features, 19 large windows and glorious sunlight. At the time of renovation, no detail was overlooked, including superb closet and storage spaces, central air conditioning and humidification, alarm system, and sound and internet fiber optics. While the condition is pristine, the kitchen and baths need some up-dating. The 12-story loft building, converted in 1982 to a luxury co-operative, has today a stellar reputation with an elite group of shareholders in residence here. Its location just off Park Avenue puts it in the center of a rapidly up-and-coming area, between Gramercy Park and Murray Hill, with a vibrant restaurant life and easy public transportation access, just three blocks from Madison Square Park.
