860 Park Avenue   Unit 3

A full-floor residence directlу on Park Avenue, offering approximately 4,400 square feet of gracious living across five bedrooms, four full en-suite baths, and a powder room off the main gallery.
A private elevator opens to a welcoming gallery that leads into a bright, dual-exposure living room overlooking Park Avenue and complete with a wood-burning fireplace. Also off the gallery, a cozy library with a second wood-burning fireplace offers a quiet retreat within the home. A sizable formal dining room sits nearby, well suited for refined entertaining.
The layout achieves a masterful separation between entertaining and private spaces. A wide hallway off the main gallery leads to four large bedrooms, each a sanctuary with its own en-suite bath.
A separate service elevator opens directly into the kitchen, which connects to the formal dining room and, beyond it, the living room, a sequence that gives the next owner a natural footprint to work from. Additional features include a laundry room, high ceilings, and extensive closet space.
Situated at Park Avenue and 77th Street, 860 Park Avenue was completed in 1925 by York & Sawyer, the firm behind the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Bowery Savings Bank. Edward York and Philip Sawyer had both trained at McKim, Mead & White before opening their own practice, and over a career spent almost entirely on banks and institutions they built only two apartment houses in New York, 660 Park Avenue and this one. The building was planned with a single residence on each floor, behind a rusticated limestone base and a brick facade with the same reserve the firm brought to its banking halls. The neighborhood is among the most sought after in Manhattan, with restaurants, galleries, museums, and shopping close by.
