1120 Park Ave, PH20/21C

There is something extra magical about this apartment. The views of Central Park that are somehow better than those found from apartments on Fifth Avenue combine with its terraces and the seamless marriage of a traditional, graceful Park Avenue apartment duplex and a wonderful loft-like great room merge to create something unlike any other apartment in Manhattan. Remarkably, every room has views of the Park and reservoir or twinkly city vistas, or both. Completely renovated and designed by David Kleinberg, the happy possibilities for entertaining are apparent when you walk in. The formal living room has Central Park views, a charming terrace, a wood burning fireplace and multiple seating areas. It opens, enfilade, to the corner dining room, also with park views. The kitchen has a well-planned gourmet cooking area with open city exposures, as well as a large breakfast room/den. The bedrooms on the second level all have endless views of The Park and city from large picture windows. The master suite is a serene oasis with large closets and a lovely white marble bath. The secondary bedrooms are generous in size and have en-suite baths. Currently configured as a 4 bedroom plus staff room, there is also a lovely guest quarters on the 22nd floor. The apartment is in its entirety perfection, but the room that literally stops the presses is the great room, or "Penthouse" on top of the apartment. With wrap-around terraces, the room feels like a treehouse aerie floating above Central Park and the sparkling reservoir. The "PH Room" has everything: views, high ceilings, an abundance of glass, a wood burning fireplace, full kitchen, full bath, and terraces with mature plantings and an irrigation system as well as a Viking gas grill and enchanted hideaways for dining or sitting. While more contemporary in feel than downstairs, the materials seamlessly link it to the rest of the apartment. All floors are accessible by the building elevator.
