23 Park Ave, 2-C

Breathtaking, unique and rare Stanford White designed townhouse duplex. The double height great room has 15 foot ceilings, the original paneling, deeply coffered ceiling and monumental fireplace. This “Grand Salon” is punctuated with beams of soft light filtering through towering leaded and stained-glass windows and is complimented by the mezzanine level library perched high above. Continuing upstairs is the 2nd floor bedrooms, each with their own spacious bathrooms and 12 foot ceilings. Both rooms enjoy natural southern light and have an abundance of closets, including a dressing closet. Down a few steps from the main living area, beyond the entry foyer and past an artfully hidden guest powder room, is the formal dining room/family room and the newly renovated modern kitchen with top appliances including a Viking range and full height wine refrigerator. This meticulously restored and renovated gilded age apartment has the feel of a private townhouse but is an intimate part of a well-maintained landmarked mansion disguised as a cooperative apartment building. Every inch of this beautifully laid-out apartment is thoughtfully designed and fitted out with top quality finishes to compliment the irreplaceable original gilded-age Stanford White details.
