Property Description for 555 Park Ave, 5-W
Sensational and Spacious on Park Avenue
This exceptionally beautiful 13 room cooperative with 4 bedrooms (and 2 staff bedrooms) exudes pre-war grandeur and timeless elegance. Oversized windows, soaring coffered ceilings, custom millwork, french doors, and richly stained parquet floors showcase grand-scaled rooms perfect for entertaining and comfortable living. The private elevator landing leads into a welcoming foyer which opens to the public spaces: classic wood-paneled library lined with handsome custom cabinetry, a majestic living room with wood-burning fireplace and an expansive formal dining room. The library, living room and dining room are enfilade and flow seamlessly. Twelve enormous windows face north onto 62nd Street and present excellent light. A stylish powder room and dry bar are also accessible from the foyer.
The bedroom wing includes an impressive corner master suite with sunny views north and west over Park Avenue. Adjoining is an enormous windowed marble bathroom and dressing area with several closets. Down the private hallway is a walk-in cedar closet and three large, light-filled bedrooms each with a renovated marble bathroom and abundant closets. Two of the bedrooms offer picturesque views onto Park Avenue.
A vast eat-in, chef's kitchen with south and east facing windows is fully equipped and anchored by a large butcher block island. Top of the line stainless appliances include a Blue Star professional 6-burner range with double ovens, separate griddle, broiler, and vented hood. There are dual Subzero refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, a wine cooler, an ice maker and a state-of-the-art, custom-built, temperature-controlled wine cellar for 750 bottles. A windowed butler's pantry with stainless countertops provides more storage space and a sink for meal prep or catering. There is also a laundry room with utility sink, two sizable staff bedrooms and a full bathroom.
All rooms have through wall a/c units and the kitchen features central air conditioning. The entertaining rooms include built-in Sonos speakers.
555 Park is a distinguished, white glove cooperative designed by George and Edward Blum and built in 1912. The building has a gym, bike room and dedicated storage bins. This is a co-exclusive.

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.
