784 PARK Avenue #19A

A gem is known for its brilliance and how light plays on its precise angles; an apt description for this NEW TO THE MARKET, PREWAR, PARK AVENUE, two-bedroom home. Rare, as in rare gem, is attributed to the few homes within the tower of 784 Park, rising above other Park Avenue buildings, offering unparalleled open views, and the opportunity to live in a 4.5 room home with the proportions of the former very grand apartment. Perfectly situated in a 1930 Emory Roth Building, 19A looks out over the city and beyond, with beautiful views to the east, south, and west, and glorious sunlight, from sunrise to sunset, filling each room.

The eat in kitchen, 17'10"x 10'10, ideal for gourmet chefs, is warm and wonderful, with three windows, high end professional appliances, built in pantry and desk, custom wood cabinetry, richly detailed granite counters, European style floors, and service entrance. Stunning entry gallery, over 22' long, is central to the home, and detailed with beautifully milled and outfitted closets.
