Ideally located in one of Park Avenue’s finest prewar cooperatives, at the corner of 72nd Street, this extraordinary 14-room residence has massive proportions and 100-feet of Park Avenue frontage. Designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela, the residence offers grand scale rooms with a graceful layout accentuated by magnificent original architectural elements. Resplendent with glorious light streaming in from 25 windows, the sprawling home spans all four exposures.

It has soaring ceilings enhanced by traditional moldings and tall doorways; pristine hardwood flooring may be found throughout. A private elevator entry opens to a vast 29-foot-by-12-foot gallery, providing an impressive introduction to the home. The gallery opens onto a grand corner 33- foot corner living room with herringbone flooring and a wood-burning fireplace.

The living room’s western window captures a peek of Central Park in the distance.
