Property Description for 550 Park Ave, 10-FLR
This lavish fifteen-room residence, occupying the entire tenth floor of elegant prewar 550 Park Avenue, epitomizes old New York glamour and fine living while offering the latest bespoke amenities, soaring views of the Manhattan skyline in four directions, and, at approx 7,000 square feet, the luxury of vast amounts of space. Completely renovated to the highest standards by interior designer David Kleinberg, the apartment, which comes in triple mint condition, provides a functional floorplan perfect for entertaining on a grand scale or intimate family life.
A private elevator landing opens to a circular foyer at the center of the apartment's long plastered and chandeliered gallery, which is ideal for the display of art. The public rooms create their own formal enfilade of spaces, including a living room with two exposures, a reception room, a formal dining room, and a library. Adjacent living spaces include the media room, and the multifunctional sitting room, as well a study that can also function as an additional bedroom, with its own bath. The eat-in chef's kitchen, of marble and stainless steel, is accessed by a wet bar that can also serve as a butler's pantry.
The vast, 38 foot long primary bedroom, with a fireplace and three exposures, is at the heart of an owner's wing which contains two massive dressing rooms with custom mirrored cabinetry, two luxurious marble bathrooms, and an adjacent home gym. Closing a hallway door can make the gym part of the master suite for added privacy. At the opposite end of the grand gallery, a wing for family or guests contains three bedrooms, each with its own large en-suite baths and spacious closet. Also provided are a powder room off the main foyer, copious closets and storage spaces, four wood-burning fireplaces, and high ceilings throughout. Service spaces include a laundry room, a staff room with a private bath and a pantry, as well as a separate service entrance.

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.
