Description

Prime Park Avenue – elegant two bedroom, one and a half bath dripping with pre-war charm. Sophisticated, bright, and quiet primary residence or pied-à-terre located on the fourth floor of a discrete and classic full-service white-glove Lenox Hill Park Avenue co-op. Residence 4C boasts grand proportions and a graceful layout, with soaring ceilings, classic moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, plenty of great art walls, built-in through-wall air conditioning, and with both the living room and the primary bedroom offering coveted west facing Park Avenue foliage views. This spacious and bright apartment features windows in every room allowing for wonderful natural light from both Eastern and Western exposures. The entrance foyer, flanked with two large coat closets and a charming powder room, flows into the gracious 15-foot gallery with lacquered regal navy-blue walls. The gallery opens into the generously proportioned living room large enough for multiple seating areas. The centerpiece: a stunning decorative fireplace, surrounded by enough art wall to satisfy the most avid collector, and three large windows offering terrific light and open exposures of Park Avenue. The primary bedroom suite includes a very generously sized bedroom, with space enough for a California king-sized bed as well as drawers and a desk, two deep pre-war closets, private dressing room with an additional linen closet, and a charming bathroom featuring a full-size tub as well as a separate step-in shower. The bathroom’s eastern facing window overlooks the building’s private courtyard and allows for a serene setting with plenty of natural light. A flexible second bedroom/library/dining room is located off the gallery and enjoys quiet and serene garden views of neighboring landmarked townhouses. Windowed kitchen with charming terracotta tomette floor tiles, granite countertops, top-of-the line appliances, and a coveted pantry. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, on one of the most prestigious blocks on Park Avenue, between 73rd and 74th Street, 785 Park Avenue is a white-glove co-op offering residents the highest level of service and security in an intimate setting. Amenities include a welcoming lobby, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, three attended elevators, an exquisitely landscaped and furnished roof terrace, a fully equipped fitness center, laundry room, bicycle room and private storage facilities. Close to Central Park, and surrounded by fine dining, grand museums, charming boutiques, and superb academic institutions. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership is allowed.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
