Property Description for 785 Park Ave, 17-BC
A minimalist masterpiece by M. Gabellini, FAIA, this very sophisticated and sun-flooded residence is surrounded by gorgeous, expansive terraces. Conceptually unified and with extraordinary attention to detail, fabrication, and materials, the apartment is sublime.
With four exposures, the glamorous, sun-flooded rooms of this apartment are presented as a serene horizontal spatial field defined by French plaster walls and ceilings, and a continuous, honed limestone floor. The living spaces are treated as connecting, open courtyards articulated by striking volumes of ribbon mahogany.
The dramatic Living Room is immense. Facing west over Park Avenue, it opens to two bookmatched terraces with southern views down Park Avenue and extraordinary western views of Central Park and the iconic Rosario Candela buildings that flank East 73rd Street across the Avenue. Nearby, an open Library accesses a gorgeous Guest Bedroom Suite by way of extraordinary bespoke glass and steel rolling doors. Within the Bedroom Suite, an ensuite bath glows with translucent glass walls.
The open Library also adjoins the well-proportioned Dining Room. Perfect for entertaining, it opens to a large east-facing Terrace and to the sleekly-designed stainless steel chef's Kitchen. The Kitchen is supremely functional as well as stylish. Beyond, there is an Office with a convenient murphy bed and a full Bath.
Gloriously sunny and serene, the expansive Primary Bedroom benefits from southern and western exposures and incorporates two spacious dressing closets. Its very tranquil ensuite Bathroom features hand-selected and carved marble sinks and translucent glass walls.
Conceived with an art collector in mind, M. Gabellini's design incorporates floating walls and thoughtful sightlines and focal points. Further, the apartment benefits from gallery lighting and hanging systems, as well as triple-paned windows: throughout the residence, light is well placed, and the apartment is extraordinarily silent.
With an ideal and highly desirable Upper East Side location, 785 Park Avenue is a prewar cooperative with impeccable service. Amenities include a state-of-the-art private fitness center, individual storage bins, and a beautifully landscaped roof garden. Offered in impeccable condition, this gorgeous and architecturally significant apartment is an exceptionally stylish oasis.

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.
