Property Description for 955 Park Ave, 2-EW

Originally seventeen rooms this impressive prewar residence is located on the third floor of a premier Park Avenue co-operative. The full-floor home has seven bedrooms, six fully renovated bathrooms, and a powder room. There are three grand entertaining rooms that all overlook the treetops on Park Avenue; they include a living room, library, and formal dining room. There is also a windowed eat-in kitchen with a windowed butler's pantry with a laundry area as well as a separate windowed large breakfast room, an entertainment/media room, a 22'3" long gym/recreation room, and a custom oversized mudroom. No detail has been overlooked in this beautiful renovation; there are mahogany doors, custom millwork, hardwood floors, and bespoke finishes throughout.

From the private elevator landing, there is both a formal and informal entrance to the home - the front has a magnificent gallery with a coat closet and in the rear is an oversized mudroom with endless amounts of storage. Off the gallery through French doors is the library with a built-in desk and bookshelves. Also off the gallery is the magnificent living room which has two oversized windows facing west over Park Avenue. Adjacent is the formal dining room which provides an elegant space for gatherings. A windowed butler's pantry connects to the kitchen. It has a Subzero wine refrigerator, Subzero freezer, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and a sink. There is also a laundry area with a LG washer and vented dryer. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinets and top-of-the-line appliances including a Subzero refrigerator and freezer, a Thermador six-burner vented range, two Thermador ovens, a Thermador warming drawer, and a Miele dishwasher. There is an island with seating as well as an oversized windowed breakfast room and excellent storage. Off the kitchen is a powder room and an entertainment/media room. Completing the public spaces is an incredible gym/recreation room.

The bedrooms begin with an extraordinary primary suite that faces west over Park Avenue with picturesque views. Formerly two separate rooms, the luxurious suite is 26'9" long and features two oversized windows, two dressing rooms, three additional closets, and two lavish en-suite windowed bathrooms clad in Ann Sacks tiles - one with a shower and the other with a bathtub.

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.
