465 Park Avenue   Unit 23E

Grand and gracious is an understatement. Enter this wondrous Park Avenue hotel/coop oasis through a welcoming entry foyer and be taken aback by the grandeur of the apartment and the city views from three exposures. A 30x15 living room with high ceilings and 4 windows across the long wall, is matched by an equally grand dining room - the perfect setting for entertaining, augmented by the acclaimed chef's divine in-house catering. Not to be ignored are the huge closets and windowed baths. Although the apartment needs some updating, it is presently configured as a one bedroom and library, it can easily be a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. Utilities are included in the maintenance. The Ritz Tower itself is unmatched for gracious living. Built by Emery Roth in 1925 as the first residential skyscraper (41 stories) and landmarked in 2002 its full hotel services can include: daily maid service, gourmet lunch and dinner catering, fitness center/gym, plus telephone and fax service. There is a reception/party room, building manager, 24 hour engineer, doorman, and concierge who will arrange anything from theatre tickets to laundry pickup. Pied-a-terres and foreign buyers are acceptable as are small dogs (with board approval). The Ritz Tower is surrounded by great dining, and is a short cab ride away from the Theatre District, Lincoln Center, museums and the wonderful shops along Madison Avenue.
