1035 PARK Avenue #5B

This apartment offers a rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully renovated Classic 6 room home where the majority of the rooms are on Park Avenue! The gracious entrance foyer looks elegant with Lee Joffa grasscloth wallpaper and it lures you straight ahead to the dining room and large corner living room. The living room is sunny facing South & West across Park Avenue and it features a wood-burning fireplace and attractive built-in bookcases. Presently the dining room is being used as a library/playroom with custom designed built-ins and French doors to the living room. The crown jewel of this apartment is the mint condition Small Bone of Devizes Kitchen (handcrafted solid oak kitchen). The windowed kitchen was gut renovated only a year ago with solid oak cabinets, Miele stainless steel appliances, a deep Shaw sink, marble countertops and French Limestone flooring. The original staff room off the kitchen has been converted into a useful breakfast room with Quadrille fabric bench and wallpaper. The staff bathroom is windowed with a brand new Miele washer/dryer. What really makes this apartment so one-of-a-kind is that both bedrooms are on Park Avenue and each has an en-suite bathroom. The Primary bedroom is outfitted with many closets and has a new Stark wall-to-wall carpet. Of note, the apartment also features Farrow and Ball painted walls, expensive hardware, thru-wall air conditioning, crown and base moldings, a cedar closet, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. Located on the corner of 86th and Park Avenue, 1035 Park Avenue is a small prewar cooperative built in 1926 and features a newly renovated lobby, laundry and storage in the basement. The neighborhood was excited to welcome Fairway supermarket on 86th street. Please note this apartment is in the P.S. 6 Zone, pets are allowed and there is a $274/month assessment in place until June 2014.
