Property Description for 755 Park Ave, 1-C
Upon stepping out of the elevator on the SECOND FLOOR into your own private vestibule, you already know a grand apartment awaits behind a glass-paneled front door. The gracious entrance gallery leads to all the major rooms- but most impressive are the corner living room and dining room with their towering 10 + ceiling heights, huge 6 x 5 feet windows overlooking 72nd Street and the trees. The living room has original herringbone floors, a fireplace and through French doors is the grand dining room.
It is no wonder this coop sees so little turnover in its apartments- this apartment has been lovingly cared for by the same family for many years!The bedrooms are all quietly located on their own hallway peppered with closets and separated from the entertainment rooms. The corner Master bedroom could be its own suite and had two walk-in closets and nice light. The second bedroom is currently configured as a home office but easily fits a queen or twin beds. The third bedroom shares a bathroom with the library/fourth bedroom. The library has handsome built-ins and an old-fashioned ladder and sunny south facing window. Originally a 9 room apartment with two maids rooms, the kitchen has been opened up to make a huge eat-in kitchen that fits an additional dining table. The kitchen still has a maid's room/ office with a powder room. The butler's pantry provides endless storage, the original glass cabinetry, and a washer/dryer. The whole apartment spans almost 100 feet from front to back! Central air-conditioning is allowed and there are no summer work rules. The apartment comes with its own private storage.

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.
