876 Park Avenue #2-S

This elegant and stately 9-room home in a lovely pre-war cooperative boasts three grand-scale rooms overlooking the beautiful Park Avenue median. In the spring and summer, the trees and flowers in full bloom surround this luxurious home with a tranquil ambiance. The meticulously renovated residence has generously proportioned rooms with almost 10-foot ceilings throughout, refinished original oak floors, skim coated walls, whisper-quiet Thermopane insulated windows, newly installed central air and appliances, custom closets, a Sonos sound system, and heated floors in the en suite baths. Enter the apartment through a substantial gallery with gorgeous coffered ceilings, and proceed through French doors to a stylish 28-foot long living room with wood-burning fireplace and flooded with light from an oversized window facing Park Avenue. A separate hallway off the gallery leads to 3 generously-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom with views over Park Avenue has 10-foot ceilings, a custom walk-in closet, and an en suite, windowed onyx tiled bath. The equally quiet second bedroom also offers a Park Avenue view. The third bedroom has an en suite windowed bathroom. The bedroom wing also includes a beautiful white marble hallway bath that can be used as a powder room. In addition, there is a lovely and spacious library that can be used as a fourth bedroom. Across the gallery is a banquet-sized formal dining room, perfect for large dinner parties. The dining room leads into a sunny, gourmet, windowed eat-in chef's kitchen with 2 walk-in pantries, custom cabinets, self-closing drawers, and abundant marble counter space. The kitchen offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele ovens and steamer, Wolf cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher. There is a separate laundry area right off the kitchen with a new washer/dryer, as well as a staff room/office with a full bath. Located at 78th Street, 876 Park Avenue is a highly sought-after, full-service, pet-friendly cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, brand new fitness center, bicycle room, laundry room, and an individual storage cage for each apartment. Designed by Rouse and Gladstone in 1917 with only 24 apartments, it truly is an elegant building on a prime Park Avenue block.
