GARBO



Hollywood legend, classic beauty, mysterious, iconic. This was her home for 40 years, a refuge with the grace and elegance one would naturally associate with the iconic Greta Garbo. She was drawn to this three bedroom, three bath aerie directly above the East River partly because the passing boats reminded her of her beloved, native Stockholm.



This stunning floor-through residence, which has been meticulously maintained and boasts a newly renovated kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, and HVAC system, features a private elevator lobby opening into an expansive formal central gallery. A grand, L-shaped living room, with den area and a working gas fireplace, is cast in exquisite, timeless wood paneling. Large picture windows frame the cityscape of bridges and buildings to the south and east, majestic river views, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. French doors at the far end open to river breezes and an inviting balcony.



At the opposite end of the floor-through residence is the formal dining room with Scandinavian ethos and flair, off of which is a large kitchen with new Miele side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, Thermador 5-burner (with griddle) and oven. A custom maple-top center island and countertops are surrounded by generous storage and workspace throughout. There are a separate laundry and utility room.



The walls of the spacious, river-view primary bedroom are adorned in Garbo’s favorite rose-hued Fortuni silk, as is the headboard. The second bedroom features stunning eastern views across the East River and an en-suite bath. A thoughtfully updated study, also with en-suite bath, can also be used as a third bedroom.



Behind pocket doors off of the center gallery is a nicely proportioned home office hideaway. A large storage room in the basement conveys with this home.



The legendary Campanile is known for its superior, white-glove level of service and discretion. 50% Financing case-by-case.
