Property Description for 863 Park Ave, 9-E
Park Avenue Designer Residence.
863 Park is an early pre-war building on Park Avenue, in fact it was the first residential building on Park Avenue erected above 57th Street. Built in 1907 in a Neoclassical style with beaux-arts detailing, it is an outstanding example of fine architecture on Park Avenue with its deep classical cornice and its limestone clad stone plinth/quoining at the base of building, which set it apart from the other brick buildings surrounding.
This residence is on the 9th floor of the building and is quite unique, with the building's only Juliet Balcony running along the building’s south facing facade, which allow the apartment to boast wonderful natural light, with south and eastern exposures. The apartment is in the classic style, with prewar charm and character as well as gracious windows and tall ceilings. The home also has a unique floor plan, reminiscent of the Parisian flat featuring the room to room enfilade arrangement of rooms. Perfect for entertaining.
The apartment was re-imagined and designed with much attention to its heritage by acclaimed designer Garrow Kedigian, who also brought his love of enfilade to the residence. From the moment you arrive in the vintage glass front manned elevator, you are greeted with special touches and features in every room. The expansive living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace on its west wall, and a set of three exquisite french doors on its southern wall to let the light and fresh air in. The flow of the apartment is excellent, as you glide into the dining room/music room, with its custom dining banquet, french doors and grand piano, and then on to the den/guest room, which is anchored on its east wall with another wood burning fireplace.
The residence also features two additional bedrooms, a maids room, three full bathrooms and a lovely eat in kitchen with window banquet that harks back to the designers French roots. Original hard wood floors throughout, in unit washer/dryer, wet bar and butlers pantry, and with only two apartments per floor, a definite level of privacy.
863 Park Avenue is perfectly located on Manhattan's Upper East Side and boasts the best neighbors in New York City, including The Carlyle, The Mark, as well as Madison Avenue's fine shops and restaurants. There is a bike room, private storage unit and laundry room in the building. Pets allowed upon approval. 50% financing permitted and 3% flip tax.

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.
