1060 PARK Avenue #5/6F

Park Avenue Show Stopper! An extraordinary, vertical combination of two classic six apartments has rendered a beautiful, sunlit, corner duplex with exceptional generosity of scale, stunning Park Avenue views from every room and a pristine, contemporary aesthetic. The epitome of fine living on Park Avenue, this exquisite home of grand proportions has been perfectly renovated with the finest materials and craftsmanship. Luxuriously finished with ivory toned Venetian plaster throughout, enhanced by ebony stained hard wood flooring, the light filled, open and airy design blends seamlessly with gracious and comfortable living. A generous entrance gallery on the first floor opens to the beautiful living room which extends over 40 ft in length and enjoys Park Avenue views through three oversized triple hung windows. A decorative fireplace with a limestone mantel graces the South end of this wonderful space while tucked into the North end, and adjacent to the powder room, is a custom home office encased with bookshelves and cabinets in African Anigre. The separate, sizable dining room is also flanked by a wall of Anigre cabinetry and another large triple hung window that faces South. An inviting, modern kitchen, equipped with top of the line European appliances, granite counter tops and Balthaup cabinets, is flooded with light from South and East facing windows both overlooking Park Avenue. Ascend the staircase to a serenity filled second floor. The extravagantly scaled, sunlit prime bedroom suite encompasses a separate, luxurious corner dressing room with abundant Anigre custom closets and an enormous, limestone bathroom with double sinks, a separate water closet, bathtub and walk in shower. An additional prime suite, with two huge windows facing Park Avenue, features a separate water closet, two sinks, bathtub and beautiful custom cabinetry of Macassar ebony. This suite also has a full sized laundry room.
