Property Description for 885 Park Ave, 7-B
SPECTACULAR AND SUNNY 9 ROOM RESIDENCE
Grand Park Avenue living awaits you in this commodious, clean and classic 9 room apartment facing South on the corner of East 78th Street. Enter the apartment to a central square gallery of elegant scale, from which the living room, library, dining room, and bedroom wing all emanate. The majority of the apartment faces South with city views and direct sunlight all day. The living room boasts over 9 foot beamed ceilings, 8 over 8 paned newer windows, the original refinished Herringbone floors that are immaculate, and a wood-burning fireplace. The bedroom hallway takes you to three oversized bedrooms, each with windowed bathrooms en-suite and deep closets. The south facing library can be used as a fourth bedroom or kept as a den/library.
On the other side of the gallery facing North there is the large formal dining room. The enormous eat-in kitchen has updated appliances and wonderful pantry storage and a desk space. It has a large island, and also enough space to accommodate a very large eat-in area with a full dining table. Behind the kitchen are two staff rooms with a nice full bathroom in between. The staff rooms are currently being used as a staff room and home office. There is side by side washer/dryer unit in the pantry. The apartment has been meticulously maintained throughout the years - it is not in original condition and has wonderful modern touches. The apartment features newer windows, through-the-wall air conditioning (central is allowed), updated bathrooms and a speaker system.
885 Park Avenue is a highly serviced white-glove pre-war cooperative built in 1927 by Schwartz & Gross. The cooperative has a gym ($2500 membership), and there is private storage for each unit. Pets allowed (smaller dogs), and 50% financing allowed. No summer work rules. There is a 3% flip tax. Full time doorman and concierge and live-in resident manager.

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.
