Property Description for 778 Park Ave, 12-FLR
Perfectly situated on the 12th Floor of 778 Park Avenue, Rosario Candela's most coveted building, this truly exceptional full-floor residence has spectacular entertaining rooms, soaring ceilings up to 11'7", and three wood burning fireplaces. Every room has picturesque views including views of Central Park from all of the western facing rooms. There are five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms as well as four staff rooms.
You arrive through an elegant private elevator landing leading to the grand 36'6" long gallery. Off the gallery is a powder room and two oversized coat closets. The sun-drenched living room boasts three oversized windows which face east over Park Avenue. This magnificent 32'4" by 19'2" room has herringbone floors and is centered around the grand wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to the north is a 25'3" by 17'4" corner formal dining room with the second wood burning fireplace and to the south is a handsome wood-paneled library with custom built-ins and the third wood burning fireplace. This original Candela designed layout graciously allows for a beautiful enfilade of entertaining rooms which flow seamlessly.
There is an incredible windowed large eat-in kitchen with a center island, a windowed butler's pantry, and a beautiful sun-filled corner breakfast room as well as a staff wing including a laundry room, staff dining room, two staff bedrooms and a powder room.
There is a separate bedroom wing. In the corner is the luxurious primary suite, which is a combination of two bedrooms. The sleeping quarters are in the corner facing south and east, there is a very large windowed en-suite bathroom, and an enormous dressing room. There are four additional large bedroom suites and three full bathrooms.
Up a set of stairs from the main floor is an additional staff suite with two more staff bedrooms and a staff bathroom.
Built in 1931, 778 Park Avenue was designed by legendary Manhattan architect Rosario Candela and is considered to be one of his finest works. This full-service white-glove co-operative consists of only 18 apartments; residents enjoy the highest level of service and security. The building has a gym, a yoga/massage room and a beauty parlor.
There is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser. There is a monthly assessment of $8,665 for Local Law 11.
This is a rare opportunity to own a residence in one of the most sought after addresses in Manhattan.

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.
