Property Description for 840 Park Ave, 3/4A

This elegant and refined 11-room duplex has been beautifully renovated and situated within one of Park Avenue's most coveted prewar cooperatives in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Nestled within the historical 840 Park Avenue, a grand 12-story limestone edifice meticulously crafted by George and Edward Blum in 1914.

A spacious gallery welcomes you into the entertainment spaces, each adorned with floor-to-ceiling French doors and windows that gracefully open onto charming Juliette balconies. A generously sized, sunlit living room takes center stage, boasting an inviting wood-burning fireplace. This grand living area gazes over picturesque Park Avenue from the east and south, creating a wealth of seating options for gatherings. The formal dining room overlooks a tranquil, tree-lined street to the south, offering an exquisite setting for hosting guests. A handsomely paneled library or den features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, bespoke bookshelves, and ample storage space. The chef's eat-in kitchen has been meticulously updated with top-of-the-line appliances, including double Sub-Zero refrigerators with dual freezer drawers, abundant custom cabinetry for your finest china, silver, crystal, and glassware, wine storage, an A/V closet, a windowed pantry, and a separate laundry room with washer and dryer. A convenient powder room is located near the entryway, rounding out this level.

Ascend to the bedroom level, where a magnificent primary bedroom suite beckons with abundant southern light, a wood-burning fireplace, two separate dressing rooms, and an expansive marble en-suite bathroom featuring double sinks, a separate windowed shower, tub, and water closet. The upper level further comprises a second corner bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace and an en-suite bathroom, a third bedroom facing Park Avenue with its own en-suite bathroom, and a fourth bedroom also equipped with an en-suite bathroom.

Throughout this exceptional residence, custom-fitted closets and storage solutions abound, while central air conditioning, hardwood floors, and ceilings as high as 10 feet enhance the sense of space and comfort. This remarkable home provides an oasis of tranquility for gracious living and grand entertaining.

840 Park Avenue offers an unparalleled level of service, privacy, and security, with a 24-hour doorman, attentive porters, and a resident manager. The building permits pets and pieds- -terre, and a storage cage transfers with the apartment. A 2.5% flip tax is to be paid by the buyer, and the building now allows for 50% financing.

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.
