Located in one of Park Avenue's finest Candela prewar cooperatives, this extraordinary residence has exquisite prewar detailing and magnificent architectural elements. A private elevator entry opens to a grand gallery, providing an impressive introduction to the home. Resplendent with glorious light streaming in from 20 windows spanning 4 exposures, the apartment offers grand scale rooms in a graceful layout. Soaring ceilings enhanced by beautiful traditional moldings, tall doorways, elegant archways and pristine hardwood flooring may be found throughout. Tall paneled doors open onto a spectacular 27 foot living room with a woodburning fireplace enhanced by the original hand-carved mantelpiece flanked by twin inset arched bookcases. The adjacent 22 foot library has walls lined with bookshelves and contains a second woodburning fireplace. A gracious and inviting 20 foot dining room completes the public rooms of the home. The sprawling, sundrenched, 19 foot Chef's eat-in-kitchen features a large banquette and top-of-the-line appliances from Viking and Sub-Zero, granite and wood block countertops and custom cabinetry designed, hand painted and imported from England by Smallbone of Devizes. The bedroom wing includes a corner master suite with ample walk-in closets and a sumptuous master bath, again by Smallbone. Two additional bedrooms with generous proportions, each with a full bath en-suite may be found along this wing of the home. There is also a guest room or 4th bedroom with a full bath en-suite separate from the family quarters. In addition there is a double staff room with a bath en-suite off of the kitchen which could also serve as a 5th bedroom. A separate laundry/pantry room, a powder room also by Smallbone, and a large locked storage area in the basement, complete the home. Built in 1927, the limestone and brick Italian Renaissance building is one of the most distinctive buildings on Park Avenue. Residents of this prestigious white-glove cooperative enjoy the highest levels of service and privacy.
