1172 PARK Avenue #3AC

Understated elegance awaits in this rare Rosario Candela classic-a 12-room masterpiece designed by Haynes Roberts, bathed in natural light from its north-east exposure along a picturesque Park Avenue tree-lined vista. Step off the front building elevator onto your private landing, where wood-paneled doors, stone floors, and hand-painted Venetian plastered walls create an inviting, artful entry along with a powder room for guests. Enhanced with extra soundproofing walls, recessed lighting, brass hardware, and herringbone wood floors throughout, this substantially built apartment harmonizes classic details with modern luxury. The traditional "public" area features an elegant Dining Room, Library, rand Foyer and an oversized corner living room complete with a working wood-burning fireplace and an automatic hidden TV system, all set against wood-paneled walls that carry a storied past-once graced by a Cuban ambassador. The entire space is expertly wired for a state-of-the-art Crestron sound system with in-wall speakers, while expansive double paned windows usher in abundant natural light and offer captivating city views. This classic 12 room layout is complete with a primary suite, 3 additional bedrooms and a staff room with separate full bath as well as a playroom and office space.
