550 PARK Avenue #5W

The apartment has undergone a facelift and should not be missed! This glorious 10 to an 8 room apartment is perfectly located on 62nd and Park Avenue in one of New York's finest full service buildings built in 1917, designed by renowned architect James E. R. Carpenter. Currently configured as a Double primary bedroom, second bedroom, maids room, dressing room and a spacious library, with building approval it can be put back to its original floorplan as a full FOUR BEDROOM apartment (or 3 bedrooms and a library). ORIGINAL FLOORPLAN and ARCHITECT PLAN AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Enter into this sprawling apartment through a private elevator vestibule with an elegant entry gallery which effortlessly connects to all the major living areas. You immediately recognize Carpenter's signature style with the soaring ceiling height, oversized windows and grandiose living and dining rooms which face North looking at the historic Colony Club. The living and dining room span 48 feet! The apartment is ideal for entertaining; replete with a wood-burning fireplace, central air-conditioning in the living rooms, and a new wet bar and powder room off the gallery. Adjacent to the living room is a traditional and tasteful library with bookshelves and French doors. The large eat-in-kitchen has three entrances, a Washer/Dryer, great counter space, two dishwashers, a 6-burner hooded range, a stainless steel refrigerator, two ovens, a butler's pantry room, and most notable, a big built-in banquette perfect for quieter dinners at home. The Primary Bedroom is two bedrooms combined so it is truly a primary suite with three windows and a wall of closets. The Master bathroom has been expanded and has a Jacuzzi tub, steam shower and a double vanity. The second bedroom also has a bathroom ensuite which has been newly renovated. The original three maid's rooms have been brilliantly reconfigured as a gym/staff room with its own full bath, and an enormous Walk-In Closet/Dressing room for the Primary Suite. The apartment has air-conditioning and crown and base moldings throughout, and it comes with its own storage unit downstairs. 550 Park Avenue is a prewar white-glove cooperative. Pets allowed.
