Property Description for 580 Park Ave, 11-B
This grand and sprawling 8 into 7 room home (either 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms with a library) with 3 full baths and two staff rooms is now available for the first time in nearly fifty years. There is a long, dramatic central gallery, ideally suited both for art and entertaining. Off a private hallway are both the master and second bedrooms, each of which have their own en-suite baths and large walk-in closets. The third bedroom, or library, is entered from the gallery and features a dry bar, and all the bedrooms/library have oversized windows facing East. The expansive living and dining rooms flow as a contiguous space, and the dining room is flanked by two decorative, non-structural columns demarcating it from the living room. From the dining room one looks West across an expanse of townhouses and architecturally pleasing buildings to a glimpse of Central Park, rare for a dining room exposure. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace surmounted by an antique French oak mantle, and features two windows facing East over Park Avenue with townhouse, ecclesiastical, high-rise, and skyline views. The functional butler's pantry flows into the adjacent, spacious kitchen which has a large window with views similar to the dining room's. There is a washer and dryer enclosed in a large kitchen closet. Off of the kitchen and pantry are two West-facing staff rooms. 11B shares an elevator landing foyer with just one other apartment, and a large basement storage unit conveys with the sale. Conceived originally as a cooperative, 580 Park Avenue is a circa 1923 J.R. Carpenter masterpiece commanding the entire Park Avenue frontage between 63rd and 64th Streets on the West side. There are 14 floors, 60 apartments, and no adjoining buildings. The impressive two-level lobby is anchored by gleaming marble floors and is crowned by intricately detailed coffered ceilings. There are full-time doormen and elevator attendants, as well as a full-time, live-in Super. 580 Park Avenue, two blocks from Central Park and just one block away from Madison Avenue's enticing shops and restaurants, is a pet-friendly building. For decades, apartment 11B has been a home, housed a noted private art collection, and has been a vibrant gathering spot. It now awaits its next interpretation. No Summer work rules requirement. Photos have been digitally staged for illustrative purposes. Co-exclusive. 3% Flip Tax paid by the buyer.

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.
