A rare offering in one of Manhattan’s most distinguished cooperatives, Residence 8AB at 535 Park Avenue is a masterfully reimagined 8-room, 3,250-square-foot home that marries glamour and master craftsmanship. Conceived by interior designer Danielle Richter, this 3 bedroom, Media Room, and 4 ½ bathroom residence is the epitome of luxury. From the moment you enter through the private gallery, the residence reveals an atmosphere of scale and sophistication. Natural oak floors in a chevron pattern set the stage for exquisite details: custom plaster moldings crafted on site, custom bronze hardware, and seamless integrations of advanced lighting and climate systems. Triple-pane windows bathe the interiors in light while ensuring tranquility high above Park Avenue. With 69 feet of Park Avenue frontage, four exposures, 10-foot ceilings, and an architectural narrative that recalls the elegance of a Parisian hôtel particulier, Residence 8AB stands as a singular offering. Featured in Architectural Digest for its “sexy, moody” design, this is more than a home, it is a work of art in one of New York’s most coveted addresses. The corner living room, anchored by an antique marble fireplace imported from London, exudes a mood both stately and intimate, complemented by sconces designed by Danielle Richter. The adjoining formal dining room of immense scale is framed by antique mirrors and dramatic lighting by Anna Karlin and is a grand setting for entertaining. The kitchen pairs utility and artistry, featuring a La Cornue induction range (vented out), hammered German silver De Giulio sink, and a monolithic Cosmopolitan quartzite island beneath a Murano glass chandelier. The primary suite features a Parisian art nouveau marble fireplace, hand-painted wall coverings, vintage Emil Stejnar lighting, two full bathrooms and two walk-in closets. The north facing primary bathroom evokes old-world romance with a freestanding Waterworks tub, starburst chandelier, and custom Art Deco inspired bas relief. A bespoke dressing room, finished with a black mother-of-pearl dressing table, completes the suite. Additional residence highlights include a richly appointed media room with ebonized oak millwork, a serene office with a Nero marble clad bath, laundry room with oversized washer and dryer, Lutron lighting and shades, concealed Sonance speakers, and a 7-zone forced heating and air conditioning system. The powder room is wrapped in chinoiserie wallpaper with a lilac marble sink. 535 Park Avenue is a refined, white-glove cooperative building originally completed in 1909 and designed by Herbert Lucas, rising 15 stories with approximately 26 residences and 2 professional suites.
