Property Description for 1001 Park Ave, 15-FLR
This is a rarely available classic 12-room apartment on the full 15th top floor of a highly serviced, white glove prewar cooperative. It is sun-flooded, with open exposures throughout to the West, East, South and North. The primary rooms all face Park Avenue, with a combined frontage onto it in excess of 80 feet. Entrance from a private elevator landing is into an oversized gallery with a powder room. The grand living room with wood burning fireplace opens into the corner formal dining room with fireplace, while the library is on the opposite side of the living room. There are four bedrooms within the bedroom wing, each with a windowed bathroom en suite. Three of these are corners, including the master with a lovely outlook across to Central Park and down Park Avenue onto St. Ignatius Loyola church and beyond. The corner windowed kitchen, pantry, breakfast room and laundry are on the other side of the apartment. Off of these is an office/study, which could easily be converted to a fifth bedroom, and a half bathroom. An internal service hallway then leads to the service elevator, which opens directly into the apartment, with a staff room/bedroom and full bathroom at the end. The apartment is in excellent condition and filled with prewar details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, original millwork and moldings. It is perfect for gracious daily living, as well as grandly scaled entertaining, including that of US Presidents who have visited it - a truly wonderful home.

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.
