812 PARK Avenue #2A

This unique and oversized 1-bedroom (convertible-2) residence is nestled in the heart of Lenox Hill. The apartment's lower floor entrance leads to a graceful staircase that ascends to the gallery, the centerpiece of this special home. It provides a welcoming first impression for guests and is an ideal place to showcase a fine art collection. Accessible via one side of the gallery is the spacious family room, the perfect place for reading, relaxing or casual entertaining. It's connected to both the formal dining room (lined with a wall of windows, and easily converted into an additional bedroom) and the generously-proportioned kitchen. The substantial kitchen space affords the possibility of adding a windowed banquette seating area and a breakfast bar - an optimal layout for both the home chef and everyday dining. A separate laundry room and half-bath are also conveniently located within this area. On the opposite side of the apartment is a grand sunken living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by bookshelves. Meanwhile, the primary bedroom boasts a wall of built-ins and a generously-sized walk-in closet, plus an en-suite bath. 812 Park Ave, designed by the renowned architect James E.R. Carpenter in 1927, is a prestigious cooperative that epitomizes pre-war elegance, exemplified by a 24-hour doorman and dedicated elevator attendant. Additionally, a private storage room is at your disposal. Situated on coveted Park Avenue, between 74th and 75th Street, this location is a sanctuary - yet offers unparalleled convenience. Within close proximity are iconic restaurants, premier shopping destinations, and the verdant oasis of Central Park. Please note: a Flip Tax equaling 2% of the purchase price will be paid by the buyer.
