Property Description for 1172 Park Ave, 14-C
Carnegie Hill Park Avenue Jewel! Welcome to Residence 14C at 1172 Park Avenue, an exceptionally beautiful, triple-mint two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a formal dining room, set above Park Avenue in one of Carnegie Hill's most distinguished prewar cooperatives. Meticulously renovated and thoughtfully designed, this sprawling residence seamlessly blends classic prewar architecture with sophisticated contemporary finishes and exquisite designer details. Grand proportions, beautiful beamed ceilings, elegant millwork, and east, west, and south exposures create a home of timeless character, filled with natural light and captivating city views.
A gracious private entry foyer introduces the home's refined aesthetic and opens into a magnificent living room measuring over 23 feet long and nearly 18 feet wide. Dramatic beamed ceilings, beautiful wood flooring, and oversized multi-pane windows overlooking Park Avenue and its picturesque prewar rooftops and penthouse gardens create an extraordinary setting for both everyday living and entertaining. A handsome Chesneys fireplace mantel and surround anchors the room, while a Murano chandelier and Baccarat lighting fixtures add an artful layer of sophistication.
The generously proportioned formal dining room is equally elegant, with beautiful architectural detailing, distinctive lighting, and ample space for gracious entertaining. A separate, sun-filled breakfast area overlooking Park Avenue offers a more intimate setting for casual dining, framed by oversized windows, custom cabinetry, and charming city views. While the current layout provides an exceptional two-bedroom residence with distinct living and entertaining spaces, the versatile floor plan also offers the potential for conversion to three bedrooms.
The beautifully appointed windowed kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry, statuary marble countertops, and a clean, understated design that complements the home's sophisticated aesthetic. Pocket doors at both entrances allow the kitchen to connect effortlessly with the adjoining rooms or remain discreetly tucked away when entertaining.
The spacious primary suite is a serene retreat overlooking Park Avenue, with beautifully integrated custom cabinetry, Fortuny window shades, blackout shades, a Skygarden pendant light, a walk-in closet, an additional closet, and a private en-suite bathroom. The beautifully finished bathroom features elegant stonework, a glass-enclosed shower, and timeless fixtures.
The second bedroom, currently styled as a sophisticated den or guest room, enjoys western exposures with picturesque views of the Central Park Reservoir and the iconic Central Park West skyline. Custom built-ins provide additional functionality and storage, while a beautifully appointed second full bathroom is conveniently located nearby.
Abundant closet space, thoughtfully integrated storage, custom lighting, and individually controlled Nest thermostats further enhance the comfort and functionality of this exceptional residence.
