Description

With 50' of Park Avenue frontage and spanning several thousand square feet, Apartment 5N is truly palatial in scale and layout. The gracious entrance foyer opens into the combined living room/study creating a grand entertaining space. The French paneling, decorative fireplace, high ceilings, and hard wood floors are enhanced by the Eastern light from the oversized windows. The corner dining room is clad in antique boiserie paneling. Currently configured as 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 staff rooms, and large windowed kitchen; there is the opportunity to reimagine the private area of this spacious home to suit a 21st century lifestyle. Any renovation will only enhance the wonderful room proportions, traditional architecture, and prewar aesthetics of this grand home.

970 Park Avenue is an elegant prewar cooperative designed by Schwartz & Gross, one of the architects whose numerous apartment houses helped shape the face of the Upper East Side. This Greek Revival style 1920's building features a full-time doorman, canopied entrance, fitness room, and professional resident manager. 75% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax. Pets are welcome and a large storage unit transfers with the sale of the apartment.

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.
