Property Description for 765 Park Ave, 12-A

Perched perfectly on the 12th Floor of the prestigious prewar co-operative, 765 Park Avenue, this eleven into ten room corner residence has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a powder room. This extraordinary home was meticulously restored and renovated by renowned interior designer Ralph Harvard and stands as a testament to the timeless elegance of Rosario Candela's prewar architecture. The grand entertaining rooms exude the charm and warmth of a bygone era, providing the perfect setting for sophisticated gatherings. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the meticulously crafted moldings to the exquisite finishes that seamlessly blend historical character with modern comfort. The soaring ceilings, reaching up to 10'2", create an airy and expansive ambiance, while oversized new windows flood the space with natural light. There are two wood burning fireplaces, herringbone floors, and through-the-wall and central air conditioning.

From the private elevator landing, a magnificent entrance gallery leads to a palatial south-facing living room which houses the first wood burning fireplace. Adjacent is an exquisite library offering a sanctuary for relaxation that features the second wood burning fireplace. Also off the gallery is the formal dining room providing the perfect setting for gatherings; it has a large china and silver closet. The incredible windowed eat-in kitchen is superbly outfitted with custom cabinets and has a breakfast room with a large banquette. Off the kitchen is a butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator and endless amounts of storage as well as laundry area with a Whirlpool washer and vented dryer. An oversized staff room is currently being used as an office and that has an en-suite windowed bathroom. Completing the public spaces is an elegant powder room and three large coat closets.

The bedrooms begin with an extraordinary corner primary suite, boasting south and east exposures, and four enormous closets. The lavish en-suite windowed primary bathroom is finished in travertine and has two sinks, an oversized shower, and a separate deep soaking bathtub. In this hallway there are two additional bedrooms both with excellent closets and built in desks as well as a shared windowed bathroom. The fourth bedroom, with its own en-suite windowed bathroom clad in Vermont Verde marble, offers privacy and comfort. All four bedrooms have bespoke cabinetry and custom built-in bookcases. A large linen closet provides additional storage.

Included with this remarkable home is a separate staff room located outside the main residence which shares a hallway bathroom. The staff room has an additional monthly maintenance of $702. A storage bin, assigned by the building, offers further convenience.

Built in 1927, this limestone and brick Rosario Candela masterpiece is one of Park Avenue's most distinguished buildings. Residents of this exclusive white-glove cooperative enjoy unparalleled service and privacy, with amenities including a recently renovated and expanded gym. The building permits up to 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.
