Property Description for 770 Park Ave, 14-D

Ideally located on the Southwest corner of 73rd Street and Park Avenue, 770 Park Avenue is an outstanding 19 story building designed by the famed architect Rosario Candela in 1930, and has become one of the most coveted and esteemed white-glove cooperatives in New York. These units are rarely available and highly sought after for their superlative grandeur, sprawling floorplans, magnificent ceiling heights, and gracious entertaining rooms.

Apartment 14D is truly exceptional and is perched high up with light coming in from all four exposures. The apartment consists of 13 rooms: Living room, Dining Room, Library, Kitchen, 2 staff rooms, Staff dining room, pantry, 3 enormous bedrooms and 2 separate dressing rooms. The apartment is in original condition but has been maintained beautifully, especially the gorgeous hardwood floors.

Off a private elevator landing, the gallery of this capacious apartment opens up to a dramatic 30 x 20 foot corner living room with nearly 11 foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, 2 enormous 8 over 8 pane windows, and a unique standing terrace with two sets of French doors. The living room has open views North and West with views of Central Park and the iconic buildings on Central Park West. Adjacent to the living room is a formal library with another wood-burning fireplace, bright southern exposure and ornate original wood built-ins. The formal dining room with a private entrance to the staff pantry/kitchen is over 20 feet long and also shares the gorgeous standing terrace with open views North. A large powder room situated off the gallery completes this perfect setup for grand entertaining.

Off a private bedroom hallway, there are three enormous bedrooms each with their own bathroom ensuite. There are two primary bedrooms, each with large dressing rooms. The closet space in this apartment is extraordinary with 7 walk-in closets in the bedroom wing, some as large as staff rooms.

The kitchen faces East and with some TLC this could be a chef's dream. There is a staff dining room and pantry/laundry room that could all be reconfigured to make a large eat-in kitchen. The two staff rooms also get nice light and share a full bathroom. This apartment comes with two large storage rooms (see floorplan for dimensions) in the basement.

770 Park Avenue is rich with history, and even its lobby was designed by the iconic Dorothy Draper. It is only blocks from The Frick Collection, The Whitney Museum, Lenox Hill Hospital, subways, restaurants and stores. The cooperative has a full time doorman and staff, a resident manager, and a gym. Summer work rules apply. Pets and pied-a-terres are allowed. There is a 3% Flip tax.

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.
