Property Description
The residence unfolds across two levels and is defined by remarkable scale, elegant flow, and gracious entertaining spaces. Accessed via a private elevator landing, guests are welcomed into an impressive rectangular gallery, anchored by Candela's signature curved staircase ascending to the upper floor. From the gallery, a magnificent suite of entertaining rooms unfolds in perfect sequence. The expansive corner living room and richly paneled library, each with a wood-burning fireplace, face south and are bathed in natural light throughout the day while enjoying wonderfully open city views. The living room also captures western outlooks over St. James' Church toward Central Park . There is an impressive formal dining room, ideal for large-scale gatherings, with an adjoining conservatory that connects gracefully to the living room. An elegant powder room and coat closet are off the gallery.
The expansive windowed eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample room for dining and is complemented by a separate windowed breakfast room. The kitchen has a well-appointed service pantry, staff bedroom and bath, laundry room, and an additional powder room. A discreet back staircase provides direct access to the upper level.
The upper floor is dedicated to the private quarters. The primary suite, formed by combining two bedrooms, occupies a prime southwest corner and houses the third wood-burning fireplace. It has an expansive windowed dressing room and an ensuite bath with two sinks, two water closets, a separate shower, and a soaking tub. Adjacent is a large south-facing bedroom with its own windowed bath and wet bar. Three additional generously scaled bedrooms, each with excellent closet space, are served by two additional windowed bathrooms.
The building allows no financing, and there is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser. A storage room and wine cellar are assigned to each apartment.
Built in 1929, 740 Park Avenue is among the most celebrated residential landmarks in Manhattan, distinguished by its monumental, fluted limestone facade. The impeccably staffed co-operative offers residents the highest level of white-glove service and privacy, including full-time doormen, porters, a live-in resident manager, and a private fitness center.
