Welcome to The Parc Vendome, the elegant Pre-War condominium at 353 West 56 Street. The building is widely known for its rich history, award-winning English gardens and fountain, white glove service and exceptional amenities. This extraordinary 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom penthouse has been the New York hub for world famous conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein's family since 1996. Boasting glorious ten foot ceilings and a wraparound terrace with triple exposures of the New York City Skyline to the North, West and South, this apartment has a classic ambiance -- a unique combination of informal elegance, warmth, and an easy, inviting grace.
As you enter the foyer of PHA you are drawn to the natural light streaming into the bookshelf-lined gallery. From there you take in the open-flow design of the dining room, kitchen and elegant 26'x17' living room with its wood-burning fire place and unobstructed North and West views. Casement windows run the length of the apartment as well as several paned doors providing access to the enormous 817 sqft terrace from three different rooms. With its European charm and spectacular views, Penthouse A is a dream for entertaining.
The primary bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet and expansive unobstructed south and west exposures, opens onto a southern-facing terrace. The magnificent views, make it a perfect oasis for a morning coffee while taking in all of Downtown. The wraparound terrace connects the primary, light-filled, southern-facing secondary bedroom, which also has an en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom, with its own full bath, can also serve as a den, office or guest room. The beautiful natural light and large, well-proportioned rooms make this apartment truly special.
