480 Park Ave, 8-G

Situated in one of Park Avenue’s most esteemed pre-war cooperatives, perfectly located at the crossroads of the Upper East Side and the most prestigious part of midtown, this elegant 7 room apartment offers approximately 2,200 square feet of extraordinary space, with grand proportions and plenty of opportunities for customization. The spacious entry gallery features a vaulted ceiling and opens to an impressive, light-filled living room, with 10-foot ceilings, herringbone pattern hardwood floors, 3 oversized south-facing windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. At the other end of the gallery is the dining room, which opens to a wood-paneled library. These rooms could be combined to create a grand formal dining room, the original layout of the apartment. Adjacent to the dining room is a large eat-in kitchen, with extensive storage, a washer and dryer, and a convenient service entrance. A generous staff room (or home office) has an ensuite bath and is just off of the library.
