From the Agent: "Clearly rooted in classic midcentury design, this wonderful residence offers so many design elements still relevant to today’s modern lifestyle. This notable 1959 home, designed by architect Edward Durell Stone seamlessly blends with nature through its floor-to-ceiling windows offering year-round 360-degree views including NYC’s iconic skyline.
