898 Park Ave, 8-FLR

Full-floor perfection in one of Park Avenue's most distinguished and elegant prewar cooperative buildings.

With over 60 feet of Park Avenue frontage, four exposures, and 14 oversized windows, this light filled 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath, full-floor residence is in a building of only 12 apartments. This beautifully designed home recently underwent a meticulous two-year renovation, straight out of Architectural Digest. This is truly a one-of-a-kind offering.

A key-locked elevator opens to a limestone-clad private landing, boasting a powder room and coat closet. Pocket doors open to an impressive 23-foot long entrance gallery, which offers a distinct separation between public and private quarters, as well as the perfect place to display one's art collection. The gallery opens to a sprawling, loft-like 40 foot by 20 foot great room, graced with a wood-burning fireplace, soaring ceilings and six oversized windows offering three exposures, including beautiful views of Park Avenue and 79th Street.

Adjacent to the living room and separated by custom pocket doors is an oak-paneled library boasting built-in bookshelves and abundant hidden storage. No detail is overlooked in the chef's kitchen, which faces Park Avenue and features high-end custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances including a Gaggenau double oven and cooktop.

The southern wing of the home encompasses a magnificent, graciously proportioned master bedroom suite. The ensuite windowed marble bathroom features dual sinks and flows to a large dressing room with endless closets. The eastern wing of the home includes two additional bedrooms, located down a separate hallway, with custom pocket doors for privacy. There is also an additional travertine marble bathroom with handcrafted mosaic tile.

This extraordinary home features custom herringbone-style cerused oak floors, 3-zone central air conditioning with built-in humidifiers in every room, a washer/dryer, radiant-heated bathroom floors and a beautiful onyx marble powder room with leathered walls. Also included is a Sonos Smart Home System which allows for music to be played throughout the home, and integrates an advanced camera security system that can be remotely monitored from any mobile device. Located in the basement is a deeded oversized storage room which has electricity and running water and can accommodate several large wine refrigerators.

898 Park Avenue is a white-glove, full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman in one of the most prestigious locations on the Upper East Side. The building is pied-a-terre friendly, a rarity on Park Avenue, and pets are welcome.
