Property Description for 885 Park Ave, 12-B
885 Park Avenue, 12B
Grand in scale and full of pre-war elegance and charm, this sprawling nine-room, three-and-a-half-bath residence can accommodate sophisticated, large-scale entertaining as well as quiet refinement and comfort for everyday living. Apartment 12B is perched high above tree-lined 78th Street just off Park Avenue, with several rooms enjoying southern exposures with abundant sunlight and open city views.
A semi-private landing leads to an entrance foyer and square gallery which centers the apartment's gracious layout. The living room is nearly 30' in length, with ceilings just under 10', original oak herringbone floors and wood-burning fireplace. An adjacent library (which could easily be converted to a fourth bedroom) features custom built-in bookshelves, a stylish recessed bar and large walk-in closet. Opposite the library is an exceptionally spacious formal dining room flanked by mahogany and etched glass doors. The adjacent, windowed eat-in-kitchen's generous proportions can accommodate a variety of configurations with abundant space for both storage and seating. There are two former staff rooms off the kitchen, one currently configured as a laundry room with full-size washer and vented dryer and the other as a home office, with a renovated half-bathroom in between.
The private residential wing is comprised of three bedrooms, all with expansive dimensions, high ceilings and abundant closets. The primary bedroom is bathed in southern light and features a private vestibule and en suite, windowed, marble full bath.
885 Park Avenue is a premier, full-service cooperative designed and built in 1927 by renowned pre-war architects Schwartz & Gross. The building offers a large, renovated fitness center, live-in resident manager, attentive staff and is pet-friendly. Private storage transfers with the apartment. Fifty percent financing is allowed and there is a 3% flip tax payable by purchaser.

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.
