This corner apartment with four rooms on Park Avenue has wonderful eastern, northern and western exposures. The apartment has undergone an extraordinary renovation and has three-zone central air conditioning, new electrical wiring, an integrated sound system, exquisitely detailed custom-milled cabinetry in every room, carefully recreated period plaster moldings with exquisite old-world details, intricately detailed baseboards, solid hardwood doors with paneling, custom closets from European Closets, Dornbracht fixtures, Frank Allart door hardware, and marble and tile from Artistic Tile. The gracious entrance gallery leads to an expansive corner living room facing east and north. Five oversized windows provide wonderful tree-lined views and a wood burning fireplace completes the room. Adjoining the living room is a handsome library with three windows looking onto the same tree-lined views. Off the grand gallery is the formal dining room which faces east with two large windows and provides an elegant space for dinner parties and informal gatherings.
