1192 Park Ave, 16-B

Sharing a private elevator foyer with just one other apartment, and sitting sixteen floors above one of the highest points of Carnegie Hill, this sunny pre-war cooperative apartment is within short distance of some of New York City's finest schools and is one of the very few seven and eight room homes available on Park Avenue today. The apartment's sixteenth floor height makes possible unusual unobstructed western views from the dining room and the den/office to Central Park, and a southern view fifty blocks down Park Avenue from the living room to the Chrysler Building. With ten windows overlooking Park Avenue from the major rooms, the eastern views are of penthouses across the avenue and of the sky.Late 1920s architect Rosario Candela designed the floor plan, which includes a forty foot gallery - a multipurpose space that can be an additional entertaining space and sitting area. The gallery connects to another expanse of nearly fifty feet between the living and dining rooms. Both the living and dining rooms have windowed corners, SE and SW respectively. Carnegie Hill is one of the most pleasant areas to live in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and is close to Central Park and many museums. Streets with lovely nineteenth century townhouses abound and provide a wonderful neighborhood to live in.
