Description

Ideally located on 73rd Street and Park, 770 Park Avenue is a spectacular 19-story building designed by the esteemed architect Rosario Candela in 1930. 770 Park is one of the most coveted white-glove cooperatives in New York. These apartments are highly sought after, with superlative grandeur, elegant floor plans, magnificent ceiling heights, and gracious entertaining rooms.

8D is perched high above landmarked townhouses and clears to the north and west, enjoying light from four exposures. The apartment was originally 11 rooms, now 9 with a formal living room with a fireplace, formal dining room, library with second fireplace and windowed loggia, a double staff room now serving as a sitting room office with private bath, a huge eat-in kitchen, a large laundry room/pantry, and three enormous bedrooms each with an ensuite bath. The apartment is in excellent condition with through the wall air conditioning and updated windows, plumbing and electrical.

Off a semi-private elevator landing, the square gallery has ample closet space and a large powder room. The gallery opens up to all three entertaining rooms in classic Candela style. A dramatic 30 by 20 foot corner living room has nearly 11 foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and large windows with open views north and side views west of Central Park and Central Park West.

Adjacent to the living room is a formal library with another wood-burning fireplace, bright western exposure and custom built-ins. The windowed loggia, a Candela signature, serves as a bar. The formal dining room is over 20 feet long and has open northern views and gracious proportions.

A private hallway lined with closets leads to three enormous bedrooms, each with their own bathroom ensuite and generous closet space and open views. The kitchen faces east, has a built in banquette, an island and is a chef’s dream. There is a large windowed pantry/laundry room with access to the service elevator.

The two staff rooms have been combined into a large sitting room with built in desk and bookshelves with open views north, lovely light and a full bath. This apartment comes with a storage room in the basement. 770 Park Avenue is an elegant, full-service building with a glamorous lobby designed by renowned designer Dorothy Draper.

The cooperative has superb staff, a resident manager, and a gym. Pets and pied-a-terres are allowed. There is a 3% flip tax paid by purchaser and summer work rules apply.
