Property Description for 891 Park Ave, 11-FLR
Showing by appointment only.
Peaceful, private, and rarely-available, Residence #11 is one of only 15 full-floor apartments at the acclaimed 891 Park Avenue. Perched high above one of the most desirable stretches of Manhattan's most well-known street, east/west exposures flood the apartment with natural sunlight through massive french windows accentuated by 9+ foot beamed ceilings.
Step off the elevator onto your private landing before entering this gracious 2 Bedroom home. From the formal foyer, your eyes are immediately captured by a 23-foot long living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace and sumptuous built-ins accentuated by dramatic cove & recessed lighting. The living room is framed by oversized windows showcasing sweeping views of Park Avenue and the surrounding architecture that is quintessential to the Upper East Side. The formal living room also features a bult-in bar with Sub Zero wine fridge, rich herringbone floors, and extensive wall space to display fine art & collectibles.
The living room leads into a wood-paneled dining area that shares these one-of-a-kind Park Avenue vistas. Off the dining area is a spacious windowed kitchen featuring Gaggenau, Viking, Miele and Sub Zero appliances & abundant storage throughout.
Residence #11's sleeping quarters are located down a hallway leading to the eastern wing of the residence. Past a home office with hidden Miele washer/dryer, the eastern wing plays host to a guest bedroom with sunny southern exposure and a marble guest bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower & body jets. The remainder of the eastern wing is devoted to the king-sized primary bedroom suite which boasts ample built-in storage, windowed en suite bath, and a 7-foot deep walk in closet.
Built in 1931 and designed by architect Arthur Paul Hess, 891 Park Avenue is one of few intimate boutique cooperatives with a first rate staff that offers full-floor privacy for every resident. Situated on Park Avenue and 79th Street, the building's proximity to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, only the best restaurants, and both the MET and Frick Museums make this an unparalleled location. Co-purchasing, pied-a-terres and pets are allowed. Dedicated private storage within the building transfers with apartment. There is an assessment of $11,235 payable semi-annually.

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.
