This custom duplex inside a mansion is the perfect marriage of old world elegance and modern convenience awaits in this sophisticated three-bedroom, three-and-a half bathroom 2,715 square foot duplex situated in a landmarked, 25' limestone mansion on the "Gold Coast" of the Upper East Side.

The extravagant, sun-filled duplex is replete with custom details, a keyed elevator opens directly into a mahogany paneled grand foyer, leading to the sun kissed, south-facing expansive living room showcasing nearly floor-to-ceiling windows with Juliet balconies, a marble wood-burning fireplace, and an adjoining bar with a Subzero wine cooler and undercounter refrigerated drawers. A charming, windowed media alcove with a custom built-in entertainment center separates the two winged bedrooms on this level.
