See inside a directional Upper East Side home in New York The property stands out with an industrial-chic black exterior and gold-embellished period features. The impressive double reception room on the raised ground floor maintains original period features such as the ornate cornicing and feature fireplaces. Combined with the high ceilings and a bay window, it’s a naturally bright space that mixes authenticity with splashes of glamour (the drop chandelier is a highlight) and statement rustic touches (those patinated Belgian-style large table lamps). The modern kitchen/breakfast room is a generous size with ample entertaining space for a family and opens on to a private west-facing garden through Crittal doors.
