Description
Maintenance: $1,695 (monthly)
Perched high above one of the most desirable stretches of Park Avenue, this gracious prewar cooperative is flooded with natural sunlight through all four exposures, accentuated by large French windows and high ceilings. Residence 14 is one of only 15 full-floor apartments at the acclaimed 891 Park Avenue. (Where French singer and international star Edith Piaf is rumored to have resided).
Step off the private elevator landing and enter this charming and quiet home. From the formal foyer, you are immediately captured by a 23-foot-long living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins. Charming pre-war details can be found throughout: notably the oak herringbone floors, beamed 9'+ ceilings and extensive wall space to display fine art & collectibles. The living room is framed by oversized sun-drenched windows showcasing sweeping views of Park Avenue and the surrounding architecture that is quintessential Upper East Side. The living room leads into a dining area, which accommodates a table for 12 and features a North-facing window. Off the dining area is the galley kitchen with abundant storage throughout.
Access the bedrooms through a gallery that was thoughtfully designed to include 2 large walk-in closets. Note: these closets can be converted into a laundry area with a vented W&D (see alternative floor plan). At the end of the large corridor, you will find the 2nd bedroom that can also be configured as a home office, den, or child's room which comes with an en-suite bath and south facing window. The remainder of the eastern wing is devoted to the king-sized primary bedroom suite, which boasts two closets, and a windowed en-suite bath that includes a sink, soaking tub & separate shower (that could be converted into a steam shower). AC wall through units.
891 Park Avenue is an elegant Art Deco building built in 1931 and designed by architect Arthur Paul Hess, one of very few intimate boutique cooperatives that offer full-service staff (Live-in Super, Doorman 24 hours Friday-Saturday and 7AM-11PM Sunday-Thursday). Situated on Park Avenue and 78th Street, the building's proximity to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, restaurants leading cultural institutions and transportation make it an unparalleled location.
Co-purchasing, pieds-a-terre, Washer/Dryers, and pets are allowed. The maximum allowable financing is 50% and there is a 3% flip tax. Private storage transfers with the apartment. There is an ongoing assessment of $1,872 a month payable semi-annually (June/December), this amount is in addition to the monthly maintenance. The apartment can be sold furnished.
