Description

4 BED/4.5 BATH FACING PARK AVENUE/PRE-WAR CONDOMINUM

Timeless elegance awaits you in this sprawling pre-war masterpiece. This 8 room residence, with 10 windows and 80’ of Park Avenue frontage, boasts perfectly proportioned rooms for opulent entertaining and everyday modern living, enhanced by beautiful views of Park Avenue. Upon entering the home, you are immediately struck by the soaring ceilings and a 36’ gallery, which seamlessly separates the public rooms from the sleeping quarters.

A wall of windows welcomes you to the 27’ double living room with gas burning fireplace. Gorgeous French doors lead you to the dining room, which comfortably seats 24 + and is thoughtfully designed to connect to the kitchen, which makes formal and casual dining easily interchangeable. The powder room is ideally positioned. The enormous windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream with top of the line appliances, a vented 6 burner stove top, 3 ovens, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and an abundance of counter and storage space.

Off the kitchen is the laundry room, with a full size washer and vented dryer. There is also a full bath in this area. At the other end of the floor, off a private hallway, are the four bedrooms, and three windowed bathrooms, all generous in size. The primary bath is extra-large with a beautiful soaking tub and separate stall shower.

The second bath has a steam shower. Features in this home are too numerous to list and include fine prewar details; over 10’ high ceilings, stunning floors, 4 gas burning fireplaces, custom millwork, large windows with fabulous views, washer/dryer, and phenomenal closet space.

521 Park was built in 1911 by renowned architect, William Alciphron Boring and is one of the few prewar condominiums on Park Avenue. The staff is wonderful and attentive. Amenities include a gym, a brand new roof deck, and private storage.

Pets are welcome. Live moments away from Central Park, museums and some of NYC’s best restaurants and shopping. Call us for a private showing.
