Property Description for 1021 Park Ave, 8/9B
THE RESIDENCE
From the eighth floor landing, enter the foyer to be greeted by an immediate sensation of southern light and the perfect proportions of a Candela duplex. An elegant staircase ascends to the ninth floor bedroom level. The eighth floor foyer is accented by high ceilings, a window and powder room halfway up the stair, a walk-in closet, and passages to the formal dining room and living room.
The grand living room features a center wood-burning fireplace on the eastern wall and two six-on-six paned windows through which abundant southern light fills the room. A double-wide doorway leads to the formal dining room which also includes two large south-facing windows, and leads to the eat-in kitchen. The large kitchen includes several north-facing windows, washer-dryer units, ample storage, access to the service elevator and entry, as well as access to a two-room staff suite which includes two south-facing windows, a full bath, and closets.
The ninth floor bedroom level includes a spacious master suite with wood-burning fireplace, two south-facing windows, a full bath, a walk-in closet, and a large dressing room with access to the 9th floor elevator landing. There is a large walk-in closet off the stair landing which leads to the two additional bedrooms, each with a full bath en-suite. The first bedroom faces south with two large windows bringing in tremendous light as does the small window in the bathroom. The north-facing bedroom features two windows, two large closets, and a windowed full bath.
Characterized by a wealth of natural light from the southern and northern exposures - reminiscent of light found in a sunny townhouse- this duplex Candela cooperative combines the separation of public and private rooms found in townhouse living with the graciousness and convenience of full-service living.
THE ARCHITECT AND BUILDING
One of the most distinctive buildings on Park Avenue, this attractive 14-story cooperative was built in 1929 and features only 27 apartments designed by Rosario Candela and Kenneth M. Murchison.
Rosario Candela was the leading architect of luxury apartment buildings of his era. The red-brick faade of 1021 Park and the three-story limestone base and gargoyles are one of the many unique features to the design of this cooperative. 1021 Park benefits from a great amount of light and air due to the Park Avenue Christian Church diagonally across the avenue, and the neo-Federal Lewis Gouveneur Morris townhouse at 1015 Park Avenue, designed by Ernest Flagg.

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.
