Description

Move right into this stunning, light-filled, meticulously renovated prewar residence, an expansive eight-room home reimagined as a sophisticated seven-room apartment. Perfectly positioned along Park Avenue, it offers captivating views of Central Park, Park Avenue, and the Manhattan skyline.

A semi-private elevator landing opens to an elegant foyer, leading into a grand entrance gallery. The stately living room exudes prewar grandeur, featuring soaring ceilings, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, exquisite moldings, and two oversized north-facing windows.

Handsome French doors lead to the gracious dining room, thoughtfully designed with recessed lighting and two large windows. Just beyond, there is a charming wet bar perfect for intimate gatherings as well as larger-scale entertaining. The adjacent corner library is bathed in sunlight and offers views of Central Park, and with an adjacent windowed full bathroom outfitted with Waterworks fixtures, this room can easily function as a third bedroom.

The windowed, eat-in kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, dual sinks, and top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, including a vented Viking range, Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and wine refrigerator. The windowed breakfast area enjoys beautiful views toward Central Park West. Just off the kitchen are a butler’s pantry and a dedicated laundry/utility room equipped with a vented washer and dryer.

Originally configured as three bedrooms plus a library, the home now offers a palatial corner primary suite created by combining two bedrooms. This exceptional retreat boasts oversized windows overlooking Park Avenue, extraordinary custom designed closet space, and an expansive en-suite bathroom of rare scale for a prewar residence—complete with a double vanity, a large glass-enclosed shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. The second bedroom is generously proportioned and features its own beautifully appointed en-suite marble bathroom. An Alternative Floorplan is provided for those seeking an additional bedroom.

Additional highlights include 10-foot ceilings throughout, elegant hardwood floors, refined architectural moldings, recessed lighting, and through-wall air conditioning.
