Stunning 12-Room High-Floor Candela Classic

Poised on a high-floor and distinguished by sweeping views down Park Avenue, this rare and distinguished 12-room residence offers the singular elegance of a Rosario Candela design.
A private elevator vestibule opens onto a grand entrance gallery with high ceilings, beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, and intact original architectural details. Off this center hall, Candela’s signature (sun-flooded) corner living room with five modern oversized windows, a wood-burning fireplace, enjoys unobstructed city views south. Adjacent to the living room is an inviting library (with full bathroom) graciously lined with custom built-ins, and a (second) wood-burning fireplace. A grand formal dining room overlooks Park Avenue, ideal for refined entertaining and formal gatherings. A restored (original) butler’s pantry, complete with custom cabinetry seamlessly connects the dining room to the windowed eat-in kitchen appointed with high-end appliances, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dishwasher. The ever important full-sized laundry room is nestled off the kitchen. The private bedroom wing, accessed via a wide hallway, outfitted with a cedar and linen closets, includes four to five spacious bedrooms (as needed) plus separate staff’s bedroom and full bath.
Near the best schools, iconic cultural institutions, and not to forget Central Park, this home will make your heart sing!
