GRAND PARK AVENUE CLASSIC 7 HOME

JUST LISTED! An elegant, quintessential Park Avenue Classic 7 in a full-service white-glove cooperative in the heart of New York City at the corridor of Midtown East and the Upper East Side. Residence 4B at 485 Park Avenue is a timeless embodiment of the refinement one associates with pre-war architecture enhanced by modern conveniences throughout. With a stately South-facing living room, a large formal dining room, an oversized windowed eat-in kitchen, three South-facing bedrooms, three bathrooms and a staff room/home office and an approximately 27-foot long center gallery, this home is the consummate marriage of prewar grandeur and contemporary grace.

A semi-private landing ushers you into the grand entry gallery enveloped in decorative wainscoting to complement the gorgeous herringbone wood floors found throughout the apartment's entertaining rooms. Ideally designed to welcome guests and showcase glorious artwork, the gallery dramatically leads to a South-facing living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a handsome mantle of custom millwork, flanked at either side by built-in bookcases. The living room flows seamlessly into the adjacent dining room through a pair of French doors, perfect for those who enjoy either formal or casual entertaining. Immediately adjacent the dining room, the oversized windowed eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar that can seat up to four, the perfect place for casual meals or to enjoy a glass of wine while preparing dinner with company. The countertops are granite throughout, and the appliance suite includes a vented Thermador stainless steel gas range with griddle and four burners, an oversized Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker as well as two self-cleaning ovens, a large microwave and a full-sized dishwasher by GE.

There are three South-facing bedrooms, one of which is located between the living room and primary bedroom and easily used as a library (as it currently is), and two of which are situated off of a dedicated bedroom vestibule. The primary bedroom features city windows and has a large walk-in closet supplemented by a wall of custom built-in closeting. The windowed primary bathroom has been newly renovated and is dressed in neutral grey tile with an oversized floating vanity with a Duravit sink and an illuminated mirror as well as a custom storage cabinet, a towel warmer and a glass-enclosed stall shower with Hansgrohe fixtures and a built-in product nook. The primary bathroom is also accessible from the library, providing the library with wonderfully flexible use as both an extension of the primary suite and additional entertaining space. At the westernmost end of the apartment is a second bedroom suite complete with city windows, a large walk-in closet and a marble windowed en-suite bathroom with deep soaking tub.

Additional features of this marvelous home include an office/staff room, a third full bathroom with stall shower, an in-unit washer/dryer, a wet bar, and central air conditioning supplemented by through-wall air.

Built in 1922 by Dwight P. Robinson & Co., 485 Park Avenue is a dignified full-service white-glove pre-war cooperative rising from a three-story limestone base.

The building is moments from Central Park and The Museum of Modern Art, and residents take advantage of the endless array of world-class shopping experiences along Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue as well as a host of celebrated restaurants, bars and conveniences including Whole Foods and Trader Joe's just a few blocks away. Located in the heart of New York City, the N, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 trains are around the corner and buses are one block away. Pieds-a-terre are permitted upon approval, and pets are welcome.
