1220 Park Ave, 5-D

Typical of the work of renowned architect, Rosario Candela, this classic eight room apartment features many of his iconic architectural details including mahogany doors, lovely hardware and herringbone floors. The gracious 20 foot gallery opens to the south facing living room with woodburning fireplace, and to the formal dining room, both of which have generous proportions. The flexible layout allows for two or three bedrooms. The present library opens off the gallery, but could also open to the bedroom hall for use as a third bedroom. The sunny and spacious master bedroom has an ensuite bath with tub and separate stall shower, while the second bedroom enjoys an extra half bath in addition to the hall bath. The kitchen and pantry have been opened to each other creating ample space for an eating area and for a service bar without compromising either of the two staff rooms. They are now a charming guest room with separate sitting room. The full staff bath is renovated with a stall shower. There are new windows and through the wall air-conditioning throughout the apartment.
