Timeless Midtown living meets unparalleled scale and finish-level in this striking residence at The Dakota. At nearly 1,600 square feet, Unit 1205 delivers a sprawling footprint and luxury character rarely found at this price point. While other units rely on standard builder upgrades, this home was thoughtfully renovated for the discerning buyer. Step inside to 10-foot ceilings, elegant crown molding, and warm hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece featuring custom walnut cabinetry, a hand-laid mosaic glass tile backsplash, and a premium appliance suite—including a Bertazzoni gas cooktop, XO range hood, KitchenAid dishwasher, and convection wall oven. The layout flows effortlessly into a dining room framed by classic architectural columns and a living room centered on a double-sided gas fireplace framed in Carrara marble.

The primary suite boasts tray ceilings, a custom-fitted walk-in closet, and a spa-caliber bath with a jetted soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and floating espresso vanity. The generous second bedroom shares the double-sided fireplace and works beautifully as a guest suite, den, or massive home office.
