Description
Bright and open 3 bedroom, 3 bath pre war classic 7 apartment on Carnegie Hill in a fabulous white gloved Rosaria Candela building. Candela was one of America's greatest architects in a decade that was among the grandest and it shows in the layout of this fabulous apartment. The entrance gallery is substantial in size and greets visitors with a full sense of a home. Off the gallery is a 24' x 15'6" wide living room with a working wood burning fireplace, custom built-ins and an open North exposure over the landmark Squadron A Armory. To the right of the gallery you are drawn into a large dining room whose bright South exposure and excellent proportion make it ideal for entertaining. The windowed kitchen has a large butler's pantry and both are adjacent to the maid's room with a full bath and washer/dryer. The sleeping quarters are separate from the entertaining rooms with the master facing South with 2 large walk-in closets and a bath ensuite. The second bedroom faces North over the armory with tree line exposures down Park Avenue. It shares a full bath with the third bedroom which is currently being used as a library. Candela's respect for privacy and eye for detail has been preserved throughout the apartment with high ceilings, large closets, original hardware and delicate crown moldings. Showings begin September 12th 2011.
