Property Description for 1021 Park Ave, 6/7A

Apartment 6/7A presents a rare opportunity to purchase a grand and gracious Candela classic 12 room duplex that has belonged to the same family for over 50 years. The elegance and character of a bygone era is now ready to be reimagined for today's lifestyle.

A private elevator landing opens onto an expansive marble gallery which serves as an anchor to all the public entertaining rooms. The grand corner living room with Austrian walnut paneling and magnificent WBF is reminiscent of the type of old world European craftsmanship found in years past. There are beautiful double doors that open to the adjacent library featuring glazed wood paneled walls, built in bookcases and another magnificent WBF. A large beautiful formal dining room is perfectly proportioned for grand entertaining and family gatherings. All the rooms are architecturally and beautifully proportioned with oversized windows, high ceilings, solid oak hardwood floors, original classic moldings, and open south and western exposures over Park Ave and 85th St. Completing the first floor is the large windowed kitchen area which currently consists of a pantry, breakfast area, 2 staff rooms and a bathroom. This can easily be transformed to create an inviting state of the art chef's kitchen with space to include a staff room and laundry room. ( See Alternate Floorplan)

A classic elegant staircase connects the first floor gallery to the bedroom level. A signature Candela powder room is situated mid-staircase. All the bedrooms radiate off the upstairs gallery. The current master bedroom ( 22'7 x 17') with two en suite bathrooms and ample closets previously existed as 2 separate bedrooms which can easily be reconfigured should another bedroom be needed. There are two additional bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom and two maids rooms which can be transformed to an additional bedroom with en suite bathroom. The beauty of this floor plate allows for the flexibility to create 4-5 bedrooms, subject to Board Approval ( See Alternate Floorplan)

1021 Park Ave is one of NYC's most distinctive and elegant full service residential buildings. Designed by Rosario Candela in 1929, the building is 15 stories and contains 27 apartments. Ideally located near New York's best restaurants, shopping, museums and schools, residents enjoy a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center, and storage rooms. Additional building details include 50% financing, pet friendly and no summer work rules.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
