Property Description for 535 Park Ave, 6-7B

Park Avenue Splendor

Perfectly located at 61st and Park Avenue, 535 Park Avenue is a distinguished coop, built in the early 1900's. This extraordinary twelve room duplex offers grand scale entertaining in beautifully proportioned rooms. The 40' entrance gallery has 10.5' ceilings and significant wall space for large works of art. The corner living room has a wood-burning fireplace, overlooks Park Avenue from French doors opening to a Juliet balcony and has a lovely view south down the Avenue. The large formal dining room also faces Park Avenue. The book-lined library with fireplace, entering onto another Juliet balcony, is perfect for cozier gatherings.

The sun-filled gourmet eat-in kitchen overlooking Park Avenue is a wonderful place to cook and dine. There is a large exercise room adjoining the kitchen, also facing the Avenue. There is a cloakroom and a powder room near the entrance. The master bedroom suite is comprised of a corner bedroom with wood-burning fireplace, large master bath, several large closets and a dressing area. A second comfortable bedroom with bathroom ensuite completes the upper level of this duplex apartment.

The lower floor features a display area for the owner's collections and a large family room facing north and east over townhouse gardens. There are two bedrooms, each with its own bath, opening off a separate hallway. Two additional bedrooms could easily be reconfigured out of the family room/display space as shown in the alternate floor plan. There is also a kitchen on this level.

The apartment has been completely renovated, featuring central air conditioning and humidification, soundproof windows, beautiful kitchen and bathrooms, five upgraded wood-burning fireplaces, and two laundry areas. The bedroom layout is very flexible, with the possibility of six bedrooms in total. There are two large storage bins in the basement which will transfer with the apartment.

535 Park Avenue, built in 1909 for luxury living, has recently upgraded its infrastructure throughout, affording the elegance and charm of pre-World War I architecture with completely upgraded operating systems including roof, boiler, electrical and brickwork. The building has a lovely roof terrace. Fully redone but with all the charm of turn-of-the-century architecture, this extremely large home offers elegance, comfort and style on Park Avenue.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
