Property Description for 823 Park Ave, 6-FLR
Welcome to the 6th Floor at 823 Park Avenue, a prewar condominium comprising nearly 4,200 square feet and consisting of 9 rooms: five bedrooms plus a library and four bathrooms plus a powder room. From your private elevator vestibule, step into a gracious gallery which leads to an expansive Living Room and adjoining corner Library richly paneled in mahogany. With nearly 50 linear feet facing Park Avenue, these light filled rooms are separated by pocket doors and bookended with two gas burning fireplaces at each end. Few homes in this city match the privacy and understated luxury of this offering. A private hallway leads to five bedroom chambers with the Master Bedroom at the very end. The ensuite master bathroom features double sinks, stall shower, soaking tub, and bidet; there are 3½ additional bathrooms, with Waterworks nickel fittings throughout. At the center of this gracious home, the cook’s eat-in-kitchen with three windows, center breakfast island and informal family banquette, features Viking professional series appliances, deep ceramic sink, bar sink, slate countertops and glass paneled custom cabinetry. A service elevator opens directly into the kitchen for ease of home deliveries. Grand architecture prevails in this oversized residence boasting 10’ coffered ceilings, herringbone oak floors with mahogany borders in the entertaining rooms and oak plank flooring in the kitchen and bedroom wing. Throughout there is custom millwork, mahogany-framed windows, abundant custom fitted closets, central air conditioning (7 zones), Crestron audio visual system and a Honeywell security system. With four exposures, light fills this residence throughout the day. Located in the Upper East Side Historic District, the building is situated on the eastern side of Park Avenue between 75th and 76th Streets. Amenities include 24-hour doorman, resident manager, fitness center and private storage cage. Among New York’s most coveted addresses, Park Avenue is known around the world for its stately pre-war apartment buildings that line both sides of the wide boulevard. 823 Park Avenue dates from 1912 and was transformed in 2006 into a boutique condominium by architect Barry Rice to convey a sense of lightness, openness and harmony with its neighboring buildings dominated by cooperatives. Prewar condominiums in this city are rare indeed, and homes of this size and stature are singular.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
