Property Description
A semi-private elevator landing opens into an inviting entrance foyer and elegant central gallery, setting the tone for the residence's timeless sophistication. Graceful arched doorways, exquisite crown moldings and beams, and classic prewar details create a stunning ambiance throughout.
The grandly proportioned living room is bathed in natural light from both eastern and western exposures and features a wood-burning fireplace with a beautifully restored marble mantel. Flowing seamlessly into the adjacent dining room, the two spaces combine to create more than 40 feet of gracious entertaining space with views to Park Avenue in one direction and views to the planted gardens of 655 Park Avenue in the other direction!
Just off the gallery is a handsome west-facing third bedroom or library, complete with a full en-suite bathroom that also connects to a spacious second bedroom. Privately situated in the south-west wing of the home, the peaceful primary suite offers a view to Park Avenue, a windowed and renovated en-suite bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, dressing area, and abundant closet space.
The oversized chef's kitchen is designed for both elaborate cooking and casual dining, featuring high end stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, a large center island with a built-in wine cooler, built-in desk area, and a washer/dryer. A charming, windowed banquette provides an inviting breakfast area, while a generous butler's pantry offers convenient access to the dining room. A smaller bedroom or office with a full bathroom completes this wing of the home.
Modern enhancements blend seamlessly with original architectural character, including central air conditioning, integrated audio, exquisite hardwood floors, elegant crown molding details, approximately 9'6" ceilings, beautiful wallpaper, and original hand-finished hardware throughout.
655 Park Avenue is a distinguished full-service, landmarked cooperative designed in 1924 by Mott B. Schmidt and J. E. R. Carpenter in the Georgian style. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, full-time resident manager, exquisitely landscaped garden, elegant marble lobby, and storage for residents. Ideally located on the Upper East Side between East 67th and 68th Streets, the building is moments from Central Park, world-class shopping, dining, and many of Manhattan's finest museums.
Please note, there is a flip tax equal to 2% of the purchase price payable by the buyer, and 50 % permitted financing. Pets are welcome.
